Berachain is gearing up to be the first non-Ethereum Layer-1 blockchain to fully activate Pectra’s new execution-layer features.
Its Bectra hard fork goes live Wednesday, giving more than 100 apps on the chain access to tools that could enhance how users and developers interact with the platform.
This a step forward for Berachain, an EVM-identical chain that uses a unique Proof-of-Liquidity consensus model.
Because Berachain’s consensus model is different from Ethereum’s, it doesn’t include Pectra’s consensus changes. But since it’s EVM-compatible, developers don’t need to rewrite existing contracts — a relief for the 200-plus apps already live on the network.
Proof of Liquidity (PoL) is a way for blockchains like Berachain to secure their network by rewarding users who provide liquidity, like money or tokens, instead of just staking coins to secure the network (like in Proof of Stake).
This makes the system strong and stable because it encourages people to put their as
