Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures, announced at the Singapore Token 2049 that the Berachain mainnet and token are scheduled to launch by the end of 2024.
Spencer believes that Berachain's POL consensus mechanism can introduce a completely consistent blockchain ecosystem by redirecting a portion of the profits back to ecosystem participants: when users stake BERA, they must direct the liquidity they receive back into these primitives. This ensures that all fees remain within the ecosystem. They all flow to BGT and BERA holders, which is what the market desires.
