On July 8, 2026, the Berachain hard fork was successfully completed. BGT emissions officially stopped, marking the full rollout of the PoL Next incentive model to the mainnet. Berachain has officially entered a brand-new stage of development.

Almost at the same time, Berachain also rolled out a fresh upgrade to its visuals and information, with its new official website now live. This redesign not only introduces a cleaner, more modern visual style, but also more clearly communicates Berachain’s core development direction: building a network dedicated to helping on-chain businesses continue to grow.
The new official website provides a more intuitive and unified entry point for developers, users, liquidity providers (LPs), validators, and ecosystem projects. Users can more easily understand Berachain’s core capabilities and the on-chain native growth engine driven by the PoL mechanism.
In fact, from the beginning of the PoL mechanism, Berachain has used liquidity proofs as its core differentiating narrative—exploring how to make liquidity truly the foundation for network security and growth. After a period of testing and iteration, the PoL Next mainnet launch signals that this direction’s exploration has moved from the experimental stage into a mature, stable phase. The network’s incentive logic and value flow paths have all undergone a redesign.
As sWBERA is core to PoL Next and closely aligns with the new website’s unified entry concept, it will replace what was previously fragmented across multiple tokens and multiple paths,
