The Berachain community is eyeing a trimmer, more sustainable future for its tokenomics. A new proposal aims to slash the annual inflation rate of its BGT token from 8% down to around 5%, a move designed to bolster the network's long-term economic health.
The adjustment would be achieved by tweaking the reward rate parameter, while crucially leaving the existing proof-of-liquidity (PoL) reward system, treasury allocations, and validator incentives untouched. This isn't a full system overhaul, just a tactical adjustment to the monetary plumbing to stop the supply faucet from flowing quite so freely.
While this tightening of the monetary screws means BGT and BERA holders might see slightly lower yields, the community believes the trade-off is worth it. The ultimate goal? To enhance BERA's relative scarcity, with the community signaling ambitions to nudge inflation rates closer to Ethereum's levels in the 2026–2027 timeframe. It seems the goal is to make BERA as scarce as a coherent roadmap in a degen Telegram group, aiming for that coveted Ethereum-level scarcity.
