Berachain is back in the spotlight today, April 14, after announcing that the next phase of the Reward Vaults program will be completed and activated.
This announcement marks the continuation of the selection and distribution process that will be the main reference for teams in meeting the new requirements—from token ownership distribution, pool composition, to liquidity.
Bm Beras,
The next set of Reward Vaults will be finalized and activated on Monday, April 14th. This will ensure that teams have ample time to meet newer requirements around liquidity, distribution of tokenholders, pool shares, as highlighted in our latest governance blog post…

Unlike the launch of features that tend to be one-way, this time Berachain is opening up a space for active dialogue. During the waiting period before official activation, participating project teams will receive input and suggestions directly from Bera community members in a public forum. This means that anyone in the community can join in and share their opinions.
The BGT Foundation itself will make a decision on the same day, which will determine whether the RFRV application is accepted, rejected with feedback, or still needs to be analyzed further due to the high number of applications.
From Low-Key to Leading: Berachain’s Rise Gets Real
If a few months ago the name Berachain might have sounded unfamiliar, now it’s a different story. Just imagine, in just one day on January 14, 2025, their pre-launch platform called “Boyco” managed to attract $1.6 billion in liquidity funds.
This figure immediately pushed Berachain into the top 10 blockchains with the largest TVL (Total Value Locked). Even four Pendle pools like liquidBeraBTC raised more than $515 million themselves.
Not only that, Origami Finance also strengthened the ecosystem by launching an automatic reinvestment feature for LP tokens. This feature allows investors to get rewards that are immediately re-spinned every 10 minutes.
And the good news is, there are no deposit or withdrawal fees—only a 1% performance fee. With a $2 million injection of funds from Origami’s treasury, LP pairs like OHM-HONEY and WBERA-HONEY have been launched immediately.
On the other hand, Berachain’s expansion into Asia also looks quite aggressive. They participated in major events such as the Web3 Festival in Hong Kong and Buidl Asia in Seoul. This step is like a loud statement that they want to be known more widely, not only among developers but also by user communities in various countries.
No More Bridges: Simpler Swaps Are Finally Here
One thing that may still be missing from many people’s radar: Berachain’s integration with SwissBorg’s Meta Exchange platform. According to a report from CNF, this collaboration allows SwissBorg users to directly explore the Berachain ecosystem.
Starting from access to BERA tokens, to the ease of doing cross-network swaps. No need to bother going back and forth using different wallets or complicated manual bridges.
If you look at it, this is not just an ordinary collaboration. This collaboration opens the door to deeper cross-network liquidity, something that has been a major challenge for DeFi. SwissBorg itself already has a name in both institutional and retail circles, so this integration is like a two-way highway that brings together the two sides of the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, as of the writing time, BERA is swapped hands at about $3.98, down 2.74% over the last 24 hours and corrected 6.42% over the last 7 days.
