Enterprise Berachain Staking with Pier Two
Berachain has emerged as one of web3's most anticipated protocol launches, backed by leading venture firms and supported by a uniquely engaged community of bears, developers and enthusiasts. Berachain is EVM identical, meaning that many popular DeFi protocols will be able to launch on Berachain in an ‘out of the box’ fashion. The protocol introduces Proof of Liquidity, a novel take on blockchain consensus that combines network security with market efficiency. This approach uses a dual-token system where BERA functions as the primary network token, while BGT tokens enable governance participation and enhanced staking strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be slashed?
No. Slashing is currently not enabled on Berachain as of February 2025. There are plans to upgrade the network to enable slashing in future upgrades.
What are Reward Vaults?
Reward vaults are smart contracts where validators direct a portion of their BGT rewards, allowing users who deposit eligible tokens to earn additional rewards. They help align incentives between validators, protocols, and users, thereby enhancing network liquidity and overall ecosystem engagement.
What’s the difference between BGT and BERA?
BERA is the gas token used for transactions and validator staking. BGT is the governance token, which is soul-bound (non-transferable), used for governance, delegation, and burning to mint BERA.
Are there maximum and minimum stakes?
For validators, the protocol requires that you stake at least 250,000 BERA to be considered for the active set, while no validator can have more than 10,000,000 BERA staked. These limits help maintain a balanced and secure network.
What are the benefits of white-labeling my Berachain Validator?
White-labeling allows enterprises to offer staking services under their own brand while leveraging Pier Two’s secure and efficient backend. This enables you to provide a seamless staking experience for your users without the need to build and manage your own validator infrastructure.
