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.
The dYdX Chain is an app‑specific Cosmos chain that replaced the prior StarkEx L2, giving validators control over an on‑chain order book for perpetual futures. Traders retain familiar features like cross‑margin and isolated positions, and DYDX token holders secure the chain while receiving 100 % of protocol fees. Lambda architecture shards order processing across ABCI++ extensions for sub‑second latency.
