Berachain Guardians Approve PoL V2 and Expand Vault Access

• PoL V2 approval enables native yield generation for BERA directly within the Berachain ecosystem.
• RFRV Batch 17 introduces new vaults from community builders Henlo and Ultraviolet.

The recent approval of the Berachain Guardians has sparked renewed enthusiasm within the community. After a thorough proposal and vault batch evaluation process, they officially approved Proof of Liquidity V2 (PoL V2)—an update that allows the BERA token to generate native yield without having to move from the main ecosystem.

Native yield opens up new opportunities for those looking to maximize their BERA holdings without the hassle of yield farming strategies outside the ecosystem.

Decisions on the latest batch of RFRVs and proposals have been delivered by the @bgtfdn on behalf of the Guardians.

USDT Collateral Support and Community Vaults Expand Berachain’s Reach

Furthermore, the USDT stablecoin can now be used as collateral for HONEY vaults. This could be an attractive option for those who prefer a stability-based approach. USDT as collateral opens up new flexibility, especially for users who want to play it safe while remaining active in the ecosystem.

At the same time, the 17th batch of the RFRV (Refreshable Fair Return Vaults) program was also completed. New vaults from two community developers, henlo and Ultraviolet, were approved.

These vaults are more than just storage; some of them encourage involvement in protocol governance through a mechanism called governance wrappers. So, not only are they used for storage, but they also directly contribute to protocol decisions.

Furthermore, this move appears to complement the recently released infrastructure update. As reported by CNF, BeraHub has overhauled its interface to make it more user-friendly, including for the mobile version. Users can now access the portfolio dashboard, vault zaps, and app exploration features in one unified interface.

They’ve even integrated a meta-aggregator system to maximize swap efficiency and liquidity provision across the Berachain network. All of this is designed to ensure a user experience that is not only comprehensive but also convenient.

BERA Price Climbs 52% in a Month as Ecosystem Momentum Builds

The price of BERA has also responded enthusiastically to this development. At the time of writing, the token was trading around $2.41. In the past 7 days, its value has increased by 2.96%, and if we look back over the past 30 days, the increase has reached 52.45%.

Interestingly, this bullish trend has been evident since June 22nd. At that time, the price pattern began to form a fairly strong reversal. Furthermore, we also highlighted BERA’s potential breakout after successfully breaking through a major downtrend line. The price is expected to rise by over 200% if this momentum continues.

To support all these new features, last June, Berachain also officially passed BRIP-0001, a proposal that restructures its EVM client to create a faster block system compatible with native Proof-of-Liquidity. The combination of technical improvements and a community-driven development direction makes this ecosystem feel even more at home for both active users and long-term investors.
