Odaily Odaily that Berachain released its 2025 year-end summary, outlining its progress and announcing its 2026 plans. Data shows that over 25 million BERA were staked using PoL throughout the year, distributing over $30 million in PoL revenue to BGT/BERA holders; PoL supported over $250 million in TVL, and the on-chain stablecoin market exceeded $100 million. The team emphasized reducing reliance on market sentiment and third parties, with the core goal of enhancing BERA's value in the long term.
Strategically, Berachain proposes "Bera Builds Businesses," focusing on 3-5 high-determinism applications through internal incubation, mergers and acquisitions, or deep collaborations. This leverages PoL incentives, product and engineering resources to directly create demand for BERA and HONEY. Goals include achieving emissions neutrality, protocol profitability, and reinvesting or repurchasing profits. Recent developments include the launch of the native money market BEND, HONEY staking annualized revenue contributions, the listing of ecosystem projects on multiple exchanges, and the full restoration of user funds.
The team also disclosed challenges: price and sentiment pressures, loss of some projects, adjustments to marketing focus, and the departure of some core members. Looking ahead to 2026, Berachain will prioritize partners with real revenue and non-pure crypto dependencies to drive network effects and value return.
