The Berachain Mainnet is about to launch. How to easily obtain more BGT/BERA?

With the issuance of tokens by public chains such as Movement and Fuel, Berachain has become one of the few emerging public chains still attracting attention, thanks to its on-chain liquidity "flywheel" designed based on the PoL( liquidity proof mechanism. However, for ordinary users, this has also built a "high wall" for participation.

From participating in pre-deposits to selecting applications, calculating profit strategies, and then dynamically participating in governance voting, each step requires a high level of on-chain experience and operational capability. This hinders most users from maximizing their opportunities to capture BERA, and currently, there are almost no simplified tools available.

It is worth noting that StakeStone has recently launched the market's first one-stop Berachain liquidity provision product "Berachain Vault". This product is designed to simplify the process from Berachain deposit activities to liquidity mining under the POL mechanism, aiming to help ordinary users easily participate in the Berachain ecosystem and seize early benefits through a one-stop service.

Can this Vault product become a "fast track" for retail investors to participate in Berachain? This article will discuss the potential and value of this product in lowering barriers and optimizing yield management, starting from the needs of emerging ecosystems like Berachain and combining it with the core design of the StakeStone Berachain Vault.

Berachain: The "Flywheel" and "High Wall" of the POL Mechanism

When it comes to Berachain, its core innovation point, the Proof-of-Liquidity ) POL ( mechanism must be mentioned. Users must provide liquidity to specific liquidity pools in order to receive corresponding BGT ), a governance token that can be converted into BERA ( as a reward. The liquidity pools that can receive more BGT emissions are determined by votes from validator nodes delegated by BGT holders.

This mechanism is strikingly similar to Curve's ve model. On Curve, CRV holders earn veCRV with voting weight based on different locking durations. The obtained veCRV can then be used to vote on which trading pairs can receive subsequent CRV token emissions from the pool. In other words, Berachain can be simply understood as a "public chain version of Curve," or a public chain operating based on the ve model.

Under the POL mechanism, the voting of validator nodes directly affects the emission and distribution of BGT, which will undoubtedly greatly stimulate ecological projects to actively create various liquidity incentive programs to strive for more BGT emissions, forming an ecosystem similar to the "bribery" ecology on Curve.

Berachain embeds this logic into the underlying architecture of the chain, forming a highly collaborative "community of interests" among users, validating nodes, and applications:

Ideally, the interests of validator nodes and applications are aligned with their success. The former has the incentive to allocate more BGT to applications with high transaction volumes and strong activity, while the applications will attract more users to participate in the liquidity pool by increasing incentive rewards for LP users, resulting in more substantial returns from these high transaction volume pools.

As more users flow into the liquidity pool due to high returns, the governance support of the application and the scale of liquidity further increase, thereby securing more BGT emission rights. This continuously expanding liquidity and governance weight not only strengthens the scale of the protocol but also attracts more users and funds into the ecosystem, gradually forming a strong positive flywheel.

But new problems arise as well. Once the Berachain Mainnet goes live, how should ordinary users judge and choose where to provide liquidity to maximize their returns?

Whether it is the selection of validator nodes, the selection of ecological projects, or the selection of liquidity pools, each layer of choice faces the need for in-depth research into dozens of options. This undoubtedly creates a "high wall" for participants.

Compared to Curve, the Berachain ecosystem undoubtedly needs a complete ecosystem project to serve users. Among them, the voting delegation platform Convex and the one-stop yield platform Yearn.finance will be essential components on Berachain to address the core pain points of ordinary users.

Typical user dilemmas include:

• Information asymmetry: The yield conditions and governance weight distribution of different applications/liquidity pools are in dynamic flux, and retail investors need to invest effort and time to track and study the dynamics of each project in order to make optimal choices.
• Disadvantages of scale effects: The liquidity contribution of individual retail investors is relatively small, making it difficult to compete with large capital projects or professional players in the process of competing for emission rights, and it is challenging to achieve scale effects through individual participation.
• Complexity of operation: Managing liquidity, participating in voting governance, and optimizing yields simultaneously sets a high threshold for ordinary users. A slight misstep may lead to missing the best opportunities, such as failing to adjust voting direction in a timely manner or reallocating liquidity, both of which can directly impact overall returns.

Under this demand, the full-chain liquidity asset protocol StakeStone has launched an innovative product designed specifically for the Berachain ecosystem, the Berachain Vault, becoming the first one-stop Berachain mining service platform.

StakeStone Berachain Vault: Deposit once, access two networks, multiple yields

In the context of DeFi, a "Vault" is an automated investment strategy designed to simplify the user experience. Users only need to deposit assets, and the protocol can automatically execute a series of financial transactions, maximizing returns through various strategy combinations. However, traditional Vault products, while providing convenient asset management, have significant limitations in terms of yield appreciation and liquidity release.

On one hand, the assets that users deposit are usually non-yielding native assets like ETH, which, despite having high market recognition, cannot directly generate income; on the other hand, the liquidity is often locked after depositing into the Vault, making it difficult to utilize further and limiting the investment flexibility for users.

As stETH, pufETH, rzETH and other income-generating assets gradually become mainstream, Vault products are also evolving to support these assets with embedded yield logic, enabling them to not only capture basic yields from PoS staking but also further enhance returns through liquidity mining, lending, and other combination strategies, maximizing user investment returns.

That extends the thinking. If, based on this, the liquidity locked in the Vault is also released in the form of Vault LP Tokens and allowed to participate in various DeFi yield scenarios, wouldn't it be possible to maximize the layering of yields?

Take the Berachain StakeStone Vault launched this time as an example. It is an innovative product that not only continues the asset management functions of the Vault but also, through the innovation of Vault + Vault LP Token, opens up all dimensions of multiple earnings for users:

• Wrap the LP assets of the Berachain Vault into yield-bearing assets: Allow users who want to participate in the Berachain ecosystem to deposit LP assets such as ETH, STONE, etc. ) for yield or non-yield (. After the Vault receives the assets, through liquidity mining and governance revenue strategies under the POL mechanism, the LP assets are targeted towards specific liquidity scenarios to maximize returns, and based on this, they are wrapped into yield-bearing Vault LP Tokens ) such as beraSTONE (.

• Based on the encapsulated income-generating assets to create a DeFi yield portfolio: Subsequently, Vault LP Tokens can be used in various mature DeFi infrastructures on Ethereum to achieve a brand new unique parallel universe structure, where the sources of income are on Berachain and other chains, while the funding activities for income generation occur on the Ethereum Mainnet. This structure balances the high yields of new chains with the abundant funds and mature DeFi infrastructure of the Ethereum Mainnet, thus having the potential to become a new paradigm in the DeFi market.

In the design mechanism of Stakestone, the wrapped Vault LP Token has top-notch composability just like ETH—it can participate in Uniswap liquidity mining, Aave/Morpho collateral lending, and even be split into PT and YT in Pendle, further amplifying returns.

So if we delve deeper, the true innovation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault lies in linking an asset through secondary utilization and deep release between the emerging Berachain ecosystem and the mature networks of Ethereum ) or other EVM chains (, forming a "multi-layered yield" flywheel effect:

• First layer yield, PoS yield of underlying interest-generating assets: Users can deposit ETH to obtain liquidity assets like STONE across the entire chain, covering the underlying PoS yield of ETH.
• Layer 2 earnings, POL earnings of the Berachain ecosystem: Deposit STONE into StakeStone Berachain Vault to obtain liquidity mining earnings under the POL mechanism in the Berachain ecosystem, and further package these layer earnings into Vault LP Token ) such as beraSTONE (;
• Third layer income, diversified DeFi strategy income on Ethereum: Vault LP Token in the form of beraSTONE can further increase revenue on Ethereum through strategies such as leverage and liquidity mining;

By combining the ecological characteristics of Berachain with the diversified on-chain yield scenarios of Ethereum, the StakeStone Berachain Vault achieves multiple reuse of an asset from emerging markets to mature ecosystems. This maximizes yields while thoroughly releasing liquidity potential, significantly enhancing the utilization efficiency of individual assets, and brings greater capital liquidity and market recognition to the Berachain ecosystem.

![TGE is imminent, let's talk about the StakeStone Berachain Vault's BERA "Gold Mining Guide"])https://img-cdn.gateio.im/webp-social/moments-e9d587c79bdab23abf4564b8e7c7ff65.webp(

Through these two assets, users can not only earn high BERA rewards under the Berachain liquidity proof ) PoL ( mechanism, but also achieve yield stacking in mature ecosystems such as the Ethereum Mainnet. More importantly, users can also lock in future governance tokens STO in advance by participating in StakeStone Vault.

During the event, users can participate in a total reward pool of 15 million STO by holding or using beraSTONE and beraSBTC, which includes 8.25 million Bera-Wave points rewards distributed in the form of ) points, TGE settlement (, and an additional reward of 4 million STO during the Boyco event; in addition, the first 10,000 early bird users who deposit ≥0.042 ETH or ≥0.0015 BTC ) will also receive an additional incentive of 150 STO per person.

So how to earn Bera-Wave points? It is mainly divided into basic point rules + DeFi acceleration rewards.

1. Basic Points Rules:

• Hold 1 beraSTONE to earn 1 point per hour;
• Holding 1 beraSBTC, you can earn 25 points per hour. ( points accumulate hourly without additional operations );

2. DeFi Acceleration Rewards - By depositing beraSTONE or beraSBTC into the following DeFi protocols, you can significantly increase the speed of point accumulation:

• Uniswap provides liquidity: 5 times the rewards for basic points.
• Precise liquidity range ( ±0.1% ): When the liquidity range is maintained at the current price ±0.1%, a 6x reward of the base points can be obtained ( requires continuous activity ).
• More protocol support: Future protocols such as Pendle and Morpho will be launched, providing more reward opportunities and further enhancing point earnings.

Overall, these rewards cover Berachain PoL, the Boyco protocol, future ecological benefits, and the upcoming token airdrop of StakeStone, which can be described as "one fish, multiple bites," providing users with comprehensive opportunities to participate in Berachain & StakeStone.

It is worth noting that the current Berachain has not yet launched its Mainnet, so the initial operation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault will mainly focus on the Berachain deposit protocol Boyco. The deposited funds deployed to Boyco will not only earn direct BERA token rewards during the deposit period but will also be mapped 1:1 to the Mainnet, laying the foundation for comprehensive access to the future Berachain Mainnet.

Once the Berachain Mainnet goes live, the core functionality of the Vault will switch to the POL system of the Berachain Mainnet, providing users with a one-stop Berachain liquidity mining service.

This progressive deployment path not only reduces
