6. Why This Contract Matters
How will this contract benefit Berachain?
This contract ensures that BGT emissions are routed to productive pools (those generating high fees and volume relative to TVL) rather than subsidizing passive capital. By doing so, it:
- Increases chain revenue: more fees are generated per unit of BGT spent (2–3× uplift vs. current averages).
- Supports iBGT economics: emissions amplify fee-earning activity, which sustains the iBGT premium through real revenues rather than dilution.
- Drives adoption: competitive execution depth attracts market makers, solvers, and order flow to Berachain, raising its ranking as a trading venue.
Will it deepen liquidity for a major ecosystem token (e.g., BERA, core stable asset)?
Yes. The flagship pool is wBTC/WETH, a blue-chip pair that is a core BTC/ETH connector for Berachain. Deeper liquidity in this pool creates spillover depth.
As BTC and ETH are bridged onto Berachain to access this liquidity, they become sticky assets that can be re-deployed into BERA and stablecoin pairs, ultimately strengthening ecosystem liquidity.
Does it enable important trading pairs that drive adoption or integrate with other Berachain projects?
Yes. By seeding depth in wBTC/WETH, the contract enables:
- A flagship cross-chain pair that is central to solver and aggregator routing.
- A foundation for connectors into other Berachain pairs (including BERA, stablecoins, and staked assets).
- Integration with Infrared’s vault architecture, which compounds rewards and aligns incentives for LPs, BGT stakers, and validators.
This creates a credible venue for BTC/ETH trading on Berachain and supports downstream adoption across the ecosystem (e.g., routing, POL strategies, bribe efficiency).
