- The technical architecture is based on Cosmos SDK and BeaconKit, supporting modular EVM compatibility, ensuring seamless development with Ethereum tools and smart contracts.
- The tokenomics design includes three native tokens: $BERA (gas token), $BGT (governance token), and $HONEY (stablecoin), which reduce concentration of rights and promote DeFi activity through functional separation.
- After the mainnet launch, the TVL quickly grew to $3.26 billion, ranking sixth among public chain TVLs, but the early-stage TVL in the ecosystem is concentrated in a few protocols, posing a centralization risk.
- Facing the risks of centralized cartel and market volatility, the decline in staking APR during the crypto bear market may trigger liquidity withdrawals, affecting network security and token prices.
