A different type of innovation What if there were a chain purpose-built to help its applications succeed? Across the entire Berachain ecosystem, amongst users, dApps, and validators, BGT is crucial and coveted. Users can earn BGT only by depositing PoL-eligible receipt tokens into Reward Vaults, smart-contract pools that gate every emission. But what happens when we think further into the future? The design of PoL creates a continued feedback loop, where productive on-chain actions mint a receipt token, the token gets staked in a whitelisted vault, validators route BGT toward that vault in exchange for incentives, and participants boost the validator with the BGT they earn, increasing its future emissions in the process. The result is a market-driven yet protocol-enforced alignment between chain security, dApp traction, and end-user rewards, moving Berachain beyond classical yield farming toward a flexible incentive fabric. But PoL can enable so much more than “just DeFi” - let’s examine this.

Seeing Reward Vaults in a new light With the mechanics of BGT emissions and reward-vault gating in place, the next step is understanding how developers can translate real-world or on-chain actions into those emissions and generate productive economic activity on Berachain. The process relies on a simple cycle, turning user activity into a receipt token, routing the token back through a vault, and letting validators compete to direct BGT toward it. Mapping this “Action -> Receipt -> Vault -> BGT” pipeline clarifies how PoL becomes an all-purpose incentive fabric for everything - Captain Jack discussed this in a tweet, but we’ll flesh out the idea a bit more to assist in the rest of the article.

Action: A user performs an economically valuable activity inside Berachain, like depositing into an LP position, settling an invoice for a tokenized RWA, or providing compute to a DeAI on-chain compute cluster. Receipt: The application mints a proof of that action - a fungible or non-fungible receipt token carrying metadata. If the action produces $0.30 of platform revenue, the dev can decide that subsidizing it with $0.20 worth of BGT is profitable. Vault: The dApp then stakes the receipt on behalf of the user inside a whitelisted reward vault. The vault accumulates BGT over time and users experience the benefits without needing to grasp the technicals. BGT: As validators observe the vault’s incentive-per-BGT rate, they redirect a share of their emissions to capture those incentives. Users harvest BGT, optionally boost validators, or burn BGT for BERA, completing the flywheel.
