Berachain is an EVM‑compatible Layer‑1 built with the Cosmos SDK that introduces Proof‑of‑Liquidity (PoL), rewarding validators based on the liquidity they provide rather than just stake weight. Its tri‑token model splits governance (BGT), block rewards (BERA) and stable value (HONEY) to align incentives between traders and stakers. The chain launched public testnet #3 ‘Berenodes’ in February 2025 and plans mainnet with native USDC support later in the year.
Ronin is a delegated proof‑of‑authority sidechain built for gaming, best known for powering Axie Infinity. After the 2022 bridge exploit, Ronin migrated to a 17‑validator set with hardware‑signing requirements and added zkSync‑powered zkRonin bridges for withdrawals. The chain supports ERC‑721 and ERC‑1155 NFTs and charges near‑zero fees denominated in RON.
