Bedrock ($BR) serves as the core incentive layer within Berachain’s expanding ecosystem. Purpose-built for vaults, structured products, and liquidity provisioning, BR is used to reward strategic behaviors like staking and restaking across multiple assets. It also fuels novel DeFi primitives like BTC-backed vaults, providing protocol-sourced capital to bootstrap and maintain yield-bearing positions.
Through its governance layer, BR transforms into veBR, a vote-escrowed variant that grants both influence and enhanced rewards. By locking BR into veBR, participants earn a say in incentive distributions and protocol direction—turning token holders into decision-makers. This structure incentivizes long-term alignment while giving real weight to community governance.
Originally launched on BNB Chain and now native to Berachain, BR is inherently multi-chain, with support for cross-chain bridges and vaults. It integrates directly with Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity model, enabling seamless utility in restaking pools and incentive vaults while maintaining a unified identity. This flexibility allows BR to serve as connective tissue across protocols and ecosystems.
