  • POLLEN is the Beraborrow governance token, enabling active participation in the protocols governance and liquidity incentives.
  • It serves as a way for the protocol to utliise Proof of Liquidity to further the adoption of NECT, without having to create a new rewards vault for every NECT (our stablecoin) use case.
  • POLLEN is a means to increase exposure to Berachain governance through the utility of the Beraborrow protocol.
  • Creating a flywheel where more NECT utility enables more users to use Beraborrow for leverage, thus increasing total interest rates/fees to the Rewards Vault meaning more value can be passed through to incentivise liquidity. And the flywheel repeats.* Are token contracts upgradable?
