Berachain will require reward vaults to pay minimum incentive rates

Berachain sets floor on liquidity incentives

@berachain has announced a new rule that requires Reward Vaults to achieve a minimum incentive rate. This move directly responds to community pressure on ineffective emissions. According to the new policy, for every $WBERA received, the vault must provide at least 0.75 units of incentive tokens to its participants. If the treasury falls below this threshold, it will no longer be eligible to capture emissions, thus eliminating the practice of "only collecting WBERA without giving rewards to participants."

The move aims to address structural weaknesses in the Berachain Proof-of-Liquidity model. The reward vault operates by supporting incentive tokens that are attached by the parties to the agreement and are designed to guide the validator to allocate $WBERA emissions to the vault. Without a minimum rate limit, parties to the agreement may whitelist certain vaults and receive emissions, but the return provided to participants will be negligible or even zero, which will lead to ineffective consumption of system resources. According to the governance proposal, the incentive token manager must define an incentive ratio, which is the incentive token exchange rate per unit of WBERA, and this ratio must be higher than the minimum standard approved in the governance proposal. The new 0.75 unit lower limit principle has been established across the network in a more stringent manner.

Automatic reward allocation mechanism to fill gaps

In response to the special situation where the amount allocated by a validator fails to meet the new standards,@berachain deployed a mechanism called "Automatic Reward Allocation." When the vaults allocated by the validator are below the minimum ratio, the system will automatically replace them with qualified vaults on a block basis to ensure that emissions remain efficient and without any manual intervention by the validator.

Bepolia testnet is an independent blockchain network designed for security development and testing on Berachain. It mirrors the functions of the main network, but uses testnet tokens that have no real economic value. Currently, the "Automatic Reward Allocation" feature is running on the Bepolia test network, and the main-network activation plan is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 18.

This update is part of Berachain's tightening of the economics of its liquidity incentive system. By combining a hard interest rate floor with an automatic standby mechanism, the protocol aims to ensure that every unit of WBERA issued matches a substantial return, thereby aligning the validator's behavior with the health of the entire network.
