6. Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact

Why This Contract Matters:

  • How will this contract benefit Berachain?

$BR has been listed on major exchanges, including Binance and OKX Perps, Bybit, Bitget, and Gate.io. This listing marks the beginning of $BR’s deep integration into the Berachain DeFi ecosystem, paving the way for significant trading volume. With these high-profile listings, $BR is well-positioned to enhance liquidity, drive market activity, and unlock substantial value across the ecosystem.

  • Will it deepen liquidity for a major ecosystem token (e.g., BERA, core stable asset)?

By incentivizing BERA/BR liquidity, we not only strengthen BERA’s liquidity and trading volume, but the listing of $BR on major centralized exchanges also creates a powerful feedback loop with arbitrage opportunities between CEX and DEX that enhances DEX trading on Berachain.

  • Does it enable important trading pairs that drive adoption or integrate with other Berachain projects?

This integration drives more liquidity into the BERA pairs on the DEX, as increased exposure and trading volume on CEX platforms encourage more users to engage with Berachain’s ecosystem. The result is a synergistic effect where the heightened activity in both centralized and decentralized markets reinforces each other, leading to a more robust and dynamic trading environment for BERA.

Potential Volume / TVL:

  • Provide metrics or estimates on liquidity you expect to attract.

Target to reach 10mil in liquidity

  • Highlight any known liquidity commitments. (If you or partners plan to seed the contract, provide proof of funds or a statement of intent.)

Pool will be booststrapped at the start of the Reward vault

Synergies with Other Protocols:

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

BERA/BR liquidity will enable the seamless integration of $BR into lending markets and CDPs like Dolomite and Beraborrow, allowing users to loop their positions while leveraging Berachain’s POL mechanism for sustained liquidity growth.

Marketing / Promotion:

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

Yes, co-marketing activities and campaigns will be hosted in partnership with Kodiak.

Long-Term Vision:

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

The BERA/BR Reward Vault will serve as the primary liquidity pool for $BR on Berachain, with plans to expand into other pairs to ensure deep liquidity and create arbitrage opportunities. This will drive the growth of the DeFi ecosystem on Berachain.

Final Reminder

A successful RFRV hinges on demonstrating:

  1. Security: Low smart contract and token risk.
  2. Demand: Community and liquidity providers want this pair.
  3. Ecosystem Benefit: Increases volume, TVL, or strategic positioning for Berachain.

Make sure to cover these points clearly to maximize your chances of passing the governance vote / RFRV!


To add on:

  • Up to 1500 BERA from RFA will be allocated as incentives
  • BR/BERA pool aim to be the main source of liquidity for BR onchain
  • $BR / $BERA incentives will be significantly increased based on performance

Hi team, thanks for the proposal.

Could you help address the following concerns?

  • Number of token holders is below the minimum threshold (Minimum over 100 Holders)
  • Ownership is highly concentrated

Please note that the following feedback doesn’t represent the opinions of the BGT Foundation.
It is contextual feedback from the Bera ecosystem team with respect to publicly stated guidelines.

With the following changes implemented, this application should be a better candidate for a Reward Vault.

Hi there,

Thank you for the valuable feedback.

The pool had not been publicly announced at the time, which explains the initially low number of token holders and the ownership concentration (liquidity seeding). We’ve since shared it with our community and the number of token holders has now surpassed the required threshold (currently over 120).

We’re also preparing a broader awareness campaign around the BR/BERA pool as the main source of liquidity for BR onchain, with multiple initiatives planned to drive engagement and visibility.

Thank you once again for your consideration. We hope this response helps address the concerns raised and are happy to provide any additional information or clarification.
