Berachain Announces $632M BERA Airdrop Alongside Mainnet Launch.
Berachain, a Proof of Liquidity layer-1 blockchain, has announced a substantial $632 million airdrop of its native BERA token, coinciding with the launch of its mainnet on February 6, 2025. This airdrop will distribute approximately 79 million BERA tokens, representing 15.8% of the total supply issued at Genesis. At the current pre-launch price of $8 per token, the total value of the airdrop is estimated at $632 million.
Eligibility and Distribution:
Eligible participants include testnet users, NFT holders, community builders, and social media advocates. The largest portion of the airdrop will be allocated to holders of Bong Bears NFTs and affiliated NFT projects such as Bond, Boo, Baby, Band, and Bit Bears. Users can verify their eligibility using the Berachain airdrop checker, with initial claims commencing on February 6.
Tokenomics:
Beyond the airdrop, the distribution of the 500 million BERA tokens is as follows:
13.1% allocated for additional community initiatives.
20% earmarked for ecosystem research and development.
34.3% designated for Berachain’s institutional investors.
16.8% reserved for advisers and members of Big Bera Labs, the core developers and contributors of the Berachain blockchain.
Mainnet Launch and BERA Token Utility:
The mainnet launch signifies Berachain's transition from testnet to a fully operational network. The BERA token will function as the network’s gas token for transaction fees and as a staking token to enhance network security. Berachain positions itself as a high-performance, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible layer-1 blockchain, aiming to convert liquidity into security through its proof-of-liquidity consensus mechanism.
This strategic airdrop and mainnet launch are poised to significantly impact the blockchain community, attracting new users and investors to the platform.
