gBERA provides a decentralized liquid staking token for $BERA. wgBERA is a non-rebasing ERC4626-compliant alternative that increases in value relative to the underlying gBera.
It will be possible redeeming 1:1, once withdrawals will be enabled on Berachain network, until then unstaking from gBera won’t be possible. There is no mechanism in place to guarantee the peg, people can swap in and out using the liquidity pool. Amplification parameter is 750.

  2. Token Control: Permissionless
  3. Additional details on Token Control
  4. Is the token contract verified? Yes
  5. Is the token a standard ERC20 or any functions have been customized?

wgBERA is an ERC4626. convertToShare and convertToAsset functions have been adjusted to account for rewards accrued into gBERA (rebasing ERC20). Both wgBERA and gBERA designs are based on that of a standard LST.

  1. Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact

  2. Why this contract matters?

  • increase chain security, since it will increase the amount of BERA staked
  • favour decentralization, since it will introduce a crucial LST competitor
  • increase BERA utility and capital efficiency
  • The contract will deepen liquidity for BERA
  • The pool will be one of the main liquidity hubs for wgBERA which will be integrated in several Berachain dapps.

The pool also aims to improve liquidity for NECT.

  1. Potential Volume / TVL

  2. TVL Estimate: $700,000

  3. There are no liquidity commitments at the moment from the partners, as we plan to growth the pool organically by adding on top a huge incentive campaign both from BurrBear, Smilee and Beraborrow. This will be one of the main pool for all the three protocols involved as - for different aspects - it is the starting point of a deeper collaboration.

  4. Synergies with other protocols

  5. Will this contract feed into any yield aggregators, lending markets, or liquid staking derivatives on Berachain?

wgBERA will be integrated in yield aggregators, lending markets and derivatives protocol. Deep liquidity will be key for safe and successful integration.

  1. Marketing / Promotion

  2. Are there plans to co-market with another project to bootstrap liquidity?

Yes, BurrBear, Smilee and Beraborrow will periodically post on Twitter to highlight the incentive campaign is about to be built on this pool. Plus, we’re aiming to do an AMA together (all the three protocols) to better communicate the value behind the pool and the future of these three partners. This pool is also the starting point of the collaboration between Beraborrow and Smilee to use gBERA as collateral to mint NECT.

  1. Long-Term Vision

  2. How could this reward vault evolve over time? (E.g., eventually becoming a core liquidity pair or a major stable pool for the chain.)

gBERA will be one of the core LSTs for the chain, integrated in multiple DEXs, lending markets, derivatives protocols and consumer applications. It will also be the backbone of Project Infinitee - the next iteration for Smilee, aka validator-as-a-service and custom LST for everyone (similar to Sanctum on SOL). Coming in Q2, this infrastructure will strongly leverage the deep liq and the importance of gBERA as the core asset of this project.

BeraBorrow with $Nect is a great project

The wgBERA/NECT pool on BurrBear is the culmination of 3 keystone projects–Smilee Finance, Beraborrow and BurrBear–working in tandem to bring together users across all three platforms.

Providing users incentives for Berachain’s homegrown CPD stablecoin AND premier $BERA-oriented LST should be in the interests of all Bera enthusiasts.

Beraborrow is excited to support this rewards vault with additional incentives as the size of the liquidity in the pool increases.

burr, beraborrow and smile for the win

Look at the players here…

  • Beraborrow - the unofficial primary stablecoin of Berachain
  • BurrBear - the one-stop stablecoin shop/premier stable hub
  • Smilee Finance - making Bera even more liquid than thought possible. Hell, make everything liquid GAY

This should be another no brainer for approval.
