Berachain RPC Endpoint

Fast, flat-rate Berachain RPC node provider — free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket.

Berachain is an EVM-identical Layer 1 built on a Proof-of-Liquidity consensus model. Instead of rewarding raw staking, Proof-of-Liquidity ties validator rewards to liquidity provided to the ecosystem, aiming to align chain security with on-chain economic activity.

About Berachain

Berachain launched its mainnet in February 2025. It is built with the BeaconKit framework on CometBFT consensus while remaining fully EVM-identical, so Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling deploy unchanged. The chain uses a tri-token model: BERA for gas, BGT (a non-transferable governance token earned by providing liquidity) for emissions and voting, and HONEY, a native stablecoin.

Proof-of-Liquidity routes block rewards through BGT to liquidity providers and the protocols they support, creating a flywheel intended to keep liquidity and security on-chain. The model drew a large pre-launch ecosystem of DeFi protocols building specifically around BGT incentives.

Common Use Cases on Berachain

• Liquidity-incentivized DeFi (BGT emissions)
• Deploying existing Ethereum contracts unchanged
• Native stablecoin (HONEY) applications
• Validator participation tied to liquidity provision
• Yield and liquidity-routing strategies

Berachain Ecosystem

Berachain's ecosystem centers on its native DeFi — BEX (DEX), Berps (perps), Bend (lending) — plus a wide set of third-party protocols competing for BGT-directed emissions. Being EVM-identical, mainstream Ethereum protocols port over directly.
