Stake BERA with Kiln, enterprise-grade staking
Berachain
What is Berachain?
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.
How is Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity staking implemented?
Within the Berachain ecosystem, the Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism is a pivotal element, rewarding validators with BGT (Berachains Governance Token) upon successfully proposing a new block when staking BERA. This BGT can then be claimed and delegated to a validator to boost BGT emissions to selected Reward Vaults owned by ecosystem applications (Bera Apps).
The selection of validators for block proposition or attestation to proposed blocks occurs randomly. The more $BERA a validator has staked, the more frequently they are chosen to propose blocks. In acknowledgement of their role in network security, validators receive rewards in the form of transaction fees and block rewards.
Proof-of-Liquidity not only fortifies the Berachain network security but also encourages active user participation in its maintenance.
Why should you stake your assets?
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.
You can stake your BERA as well as other (d)PoS cryptocurrencies to:
- 1Put your treasury to work
- 2Diversify and earn, while contributing to blockchains decentralization
- 3Bring new opportunities by enabling your users to earn staking reward

How to stake BGT with Kiln?
BGT is the non-transferable governance token that is rewarded to users providing liquidity to applications as well as the base staking reward to validators.
Staking claimed BGT to a validator allows for more BGT to be emitted to the selected Reward Vault, in turn incentivising more users to deposit liquidity to the application. In the future those delegating BGT will also be able to share in addtional application incentives.
To stake BGT with Kiln, delegate your tokens to Kiln validators from the BGT Station following those steps:
- Head to Berachain station
- Login to your favorite wallet, prefer a hardware wallet like a Ledger Nano device
- Make sure you are on the “Kiln” validator page
- Click on Delegate
- Choose the amount of BGT you want to stake, and confirm the transaction

Berachain FAQ
What does Proof-of Stake mean?
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.
When will I receive BGT rewards?
Validators are rewarded every block on Berachain.
Does interest compound when staking BGT?
No, the interest doesn’t compound when staking BGT.
Is there a minimum and maximum amount to stake for BGT?
Yes there is a minimum of 250,000 BERA to run a validator and a maximum of 10M BERA.
Do I maintain custody of my BGT tokens? Is BGT staking non-custodial?
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).
What is a Gross Reward Rate (GRR) and how is it different from a Net Reward Rate (NRR)?
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.
