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.
THORChain is a Tendermint‑based cross‑chain liquidity protocol where nodes bond RUNE to secure pools of native L1 assets like BTC, ETH and ATOM. Swaps execute via continuous liquidity pools with slip‑based fees, and the ‘Streaming Swaps’ feature splits large orders to minimize price impact. The 2023 mainnet added Savers vaults, letting depositors earn single‑asset yield without IL exposure.
