Proof-of-liquidity Layer-1 blockchain Berachain will launch its mainnet today, 6 February 2025, alongside an estimated $600 million+ airdrop of its BERA token.

Berachain’s post on X announced the launch of its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Layer-1 mainnet. The launch will see around 80 million BERA tokens being airdropped to eligible users.

BERA Trading At Over $8 On OTC Exchanges

According to Berachain’s tokenomics documents, 500 million BERA tokens are to be issued at launch. Of this supply, 15.8% — or 79 million tokens — is set to be airdropped to eligible users.

While the BERA token has not launched yet,  it is currently trading at over $8 per token, per over-the-counter (OTC) DEX, WhalesMarket.

This puts the total initial airdrop at roughly $670 million at current prices. However, pre-market listings are historically extremely volatile and the amount of BERA being airdropped could differ.

Furthermore, BERA is already confirmed to be listing today on Binance, MEXC, KuCoin and OKX, plus more.

Allocation checks and claims for the Berachain airdrop begin today (February 6). However, for those that earned an allocation via social engagement and Request for Broposal users can not begin claiming until February 10.

The largest share of the BERA airdrop will go to holders of Bong Bears NFTs and affiliated NFT projects, including Bond, Boo, Baby, Band, and Bit Bears.

 

BERA Tokenomics

Outside of the 15.8% supply for the airdrop, Berachain has set aside 13.1% for additional community initiatives. 20% is allocated for ecosystem research and development.

34.3% of the BERA supply is set aside for Berachain’s institutional investors while the final 16.8% is reserved for advisers and members of Big Bera Labs. Big Bera Labs are made up of the core developers and contributors of the Berachain blockchain.

The BERA token will serve as the network’s gas token for paying transaction fees and as a staking token to enhance network security. The Layer-1 solution also has a native USD-pegged stablecoin, HONEY.

The third and final token of the Berachain ecosystem is BGT (Bera Governance Token). Notably, BGT is non-transferrable and can only be acquired by engaging in productive activities within the Berachain ecosystem.

Berachain’s proof-of-liquidity consensus mechanism maintains security and preserves liquidity in the network, by diverting a portion of the network’s revenues and profits back to ecosystem participants.
