Berachain exhibits high-performance capabilities and EVM compatibility. Its foundation lies in the innovative Proof-of-Liquidity consensus mechanism.
This novel approach not only upholds the security of the network but also establishes a robust synergy between Berachain validators and the diverse ecosystem of projects.
Within the Berachain ecosystem, the Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism is a pivotal element, rewarding validators with BGT tokens upon successfully proposing a new block.
The selection of validators for block proposition or attestation to proposed blocks occurs randomly. In acknowledgement of their role in network security, validators receive rewards in the form of transaction fees and block rewards.
This financial incentive not only fortifies the network but also encourages active user participation in its maintenance.
Staking is one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space as the value originates from the blockchain’s native currency inflation and a share of transaction fees. You help secure the network and get rewarded by staking your BGT.
If you do not stake, your asset's token share will be diluted among other people’s tokens that are being staked and accumulating new tokens into the network.
Stay tuned for a guide on how to stake BGT with Kiln upon mainnet.

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a type of consensus mechanism used to validate cryptocurrency transactions. Through PoS, validators can contribute to the block production of a chain while keeping environmental concerns to a minimum, which is becoming an increasingly large issue in Proof-of-Work.
By staking capital rather than energy, validators risk losing a portion of their value and future potential for staking by misbehaving while creating blocks. This incentives collaboration and fair practices while validating information in a similar way that PoW has with incentives and punishments to curtail malicious activity in the consensus process.
Validators are rewarded every block on Berachain.
No, the interest doesn’t compound when staking BGT.
There is no minimum stake amount.
While you may maintain self-custody of your staked BGT (ideally using a Ledger hardware wallet), you may also choose a third-party custodian to control the withdrawal of your staked BGT (i.e. Fireblocks).
In the context of Proof-of-Stake blockchains, the gross reward rate (GRR) refers to the total or gross amount of rewards earned from staking before deducting any fees or expenses. This is a reward rate that fluctuates with the operations of the protocol and the performance of validators, it is not set by Kiln. The net reward rate (NRR), on the other hand, takes into account the deductions or expenses, providing a measure of the actual rewards received after subtracting fees or costs.
