Berachain is a high-performance EVM-Identical Layer 1 blockchain utilizing Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) and built on the modular EVM-focused consensus client framework BeaconKit. Its execution layer is identical to Ethereum's Virtual Machine, using unmodified execution clients like Geth and Reth, allowing immediate adoption of EVM upgrades. Proof-of-Liquidity restructures L1 economics to prioritize users and applications over validator rewards, directing network incentives toward enhancing ecosystem liquidity, efficient trading, and price stability. BeaconKit, Berachain's consensus framework, integrates CometBFT consensus benefits including increased composability and single slot finality (SSF).
