About Beradrome, Berachain, restaking, and how to get started
What is Beradrome? +
Beradrome is the premier restaking and liquidity marketplace on Berachain. It combines features from top DeFi models (ve(3,3), concentrated liquidity, gauge voting) into one powerful platform, allowing users to restake yield‑bearing assets, provide liquidity, farm rewards, and participate in governance.
What is Berachain and how does it relate to Beradrome? +
Berachain is a Layer‑1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK with a novel Proof‑of‑Liquidity consensus mechanism. Beradrome is a core DeFi protocol on Berachain, providing restaking, liquidity provisioning, and yield farming infrastructure that leverages Berachain’s native assets (BERO, BGT, HONEY).
What is restaking and why is it important? +
Restaking allows you to stake your staked assets (like BERO) again to secure additional services and earn extra yield. On Beradrome, you can stake BERO for hiBERO, which can then be used in liquidity pools or as collateral, earning rewards from both staking and protocol fees.
What are the main products on Beradrome? +
Beradrome offers: Swap (token exchange with low fees), Farms (stake LP tokens to earn rewards), Vote (gauge voting for liquidity incentives), Bribe (incentivize voters to direct rewards to your pools), Claim (harvest earned rewards), and a Boost feature to delegate BGT to the Beradrome validator.
What is BERO, hiBERO, and oBERO? +
BERO is the native token of Berachain. hiBERO is a restaked version of BERO that represents staked BERO and earns staking rewards. oBERO is an option token that can be exercised to acquire BERO at a discount, providing additional yield opportunities.
How do I swap tokens on Beradrome? +
Connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask, OKX Wallet, or any EVM‑compatible wallet), navigate to the Swap page, select the tokens you want to trade, enter the amount, review the price and slippage, and confirm the transaction. Beradrome aggregates liquidity from multiple sources to ensure the best rates.
What are the fees for swapping on Beradrome? +
Beradrome charges a low swap fee of 0.04% for standard trades. Liquidity providers earn a share of these fees. There may be additional gas fees on Berachain, which are typically very low compared to Ethereum.
How does liquidity provision (farming) work? +
You can deposit your LP tokens (from providing liquidity on Beradrome or other DEXs) into Farms to earn rewards in the form of BERO, hiBERO, or other tokens. Rewards are distributed based on the amount you stake and the duration. Some farms offer boosted APY for locking tokens.
What is gauge voting on Beradrome? +
Gauge voting allows veBERO (vote‑escrowed BERO) holders to direct BERO emissions to specific liquidity pools. Pools with more votes receive higher rewards, attracting more liquidity. This creates a flywheel where voters can earn bribes and traders get better liquidity.
How do bribes work on Beradrome? +
Projects or users can bribe gauge voters to vote for their pool. By offering bribes, you can attract more votes and thus more BERO emissions to your pool, increasing its liquidity and trading volume. Bribes are paid in any token and are distributed to voters proportionally to their vote weight.
What is the Beradrome validator and how do I boost? +
Beradrome operates a validator on Berachain. By delegating your BGT (Berachain Governance Token) to the Beradrome validator, you support the protocol and earn voting power. The Boost feature on Beradrome lets you delegate your BGT to the validator directly from the interface, increasing your influence in governance.
What is the Tour de Berance NFT collection? +
Tour de Berance is a collection of 6,900 unique NFTs featuring bears on bikes, racing for liquidity on Arbitrum. These NFTs offer utility on Beradrome, including access to exclusive rewards, airdrops, and enhanced yield opportunities. You can buy them on OpenSea or Gumball.
Is Beradrome audited and secure? +
Yes, Beradrome has been audited by leading security firms. You can find the audit reports in the documentation. The protocol is non‑custodial, meaning you always control your funds. Always verify that you are on the official website (beradrome.xyz or beradrome.com) to avoid phishing.
How do I claim rewards on Beradrome? +
Go to the Claim page, connect your wallet, and you will see any unclaimed rewards from farms, bribes, or other activities. Click the claim button to receive your tokens. You can claim periodically to compound your earnings.
What is the difference between Beradrome and other Berachain DEXs? +
Beradrome is a full‑suite liquidity marketplace that combines restaking, concentrated liquidity, gauge‑voting incentives, and bribes in one protocol. It offers deeper liquidity, higher yields, and more flexible strategies compared to simpler AMMs. Beradrome also integrates with Berachain’s native restaking mechanics.
How do I get started with Beradrome? +
1. Set up a compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) and connect to Berachain. 2. Fund your wallet with BERO (you can get it from a bridge or swap). 3. Visit beradrome.xyz and start swapping, providing liquidity, or staking. 4. Explore the Farms and Vote pages to maximize your yield.
What wallets are supported on Beradrome? +
Beradrome supports any EVM‑compatible wallet, including MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, WalletConnect, and Ledger (via Web3). Make sure your wallet is configured to the Berachain network.
How do I add the Berachain network to my wallet? +
You can find the network details (chain ID, RPC URL, etc.) in the Berachain documentation. Beradrome’s interface usually prompts you to add the network automatically when you connect. Alternatively, you can manually add it using the following: Network Name: Berachain, RPC URL: https://rpc.berachain.com, Chain ID: 80094, Currency Symbol: BERO, Block Explorer: https://berascan.com.
What is the tokenomics of Beradrome? +
Beradrome uses veBERO (vote‑escrowed BERO) for governance. Users can lock BERO for up to 4 years to receive veBERO, which grants voting power, boosted APY, and a share of protocol fees. The protocol also has a treasury for development and ecosystem growth. Emissions are distributed to farms and gauges based on votes.
How can I earn passive income on Beradrome? +
You can earn passive income by: 1) Staking BERO to hiBERO and earning staking rewards. 2) Providing liquidity to pools and earning swap fees and farm rewards. 3) Voting on gauges and earning bribes. 4) Locking BERO as veBERO to receive a share of protocol fees.
What is the difference between BERO and hiBERO? +
BERO is the base token of Berachain. hiBERO is a liquid staking derivative that represents staked BERO. When you stake BERO, you receive hiBERO which accrues staking rewards over time. hiBERO can be used in DeFi (liquidity, lending) while still earning staking yield.
How do I unstake my BERO? +
If you have hiBERO, you can redeem it for BERO at any time, usually with a small unbonding period (e.g., 14 days) depending on the staking pool. On Beradrome, you can swap hiBERO back to BERO on the Swap page or use the unstake function in the staking interface.
What are the risks of using Beradrome? +
As with any DeFi protocol, risks include smart contract vulnerabilities (though audited), impermanent loss for LPs, price volatility of the underlying assets, and potential for loss due to bugs or exploits. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Does Beradrome have a referral program? +
Currently, Beradrome does not have a formal referral program, but you can share your experience with others. Future versions may include incentives for referrers. Check the documentation or official channels for updates.
What is the total value locked (TVL) on Beradrome? +
TVL varies over time. You can check the current TVL on the Beradrome dashboard or on DeFiLlama. As a leading protocol on Berachain, Beradrome consistently attracts significant liquidity.
How do I participate in governance? +
To participate in governance, you need to lock BERO for veBERO. Then you can vote on proposals, gauge allocations, and parameter changes. Governance takes place on the Tally platform (linked from the website). Your voting power is proportional to the amount and duration of your lock.
What is the role of BGT on Beradrome? +
BGT (Berachain Governance Token) is the governance token of Berachain. Beradrome allows you to delegate BGT to the Beradrome validator, which gives you voting power on Berachain governance while also supporting the protocol. In return, you may earn rewards or bribes.
Is there a mobile app for Beradrome? +
Beradrome is a web‑based application and is fully responsive for mobile browsers. You can access it from your phone’s browser. There is no native mobile app yet, but you can add the website to your home screen for a more app‑like experience.
What is the difference between Bribe and Vote? +
Vote is where veBERO holders cast their votes to direct emissions to pools. Bribe is the mechanism where projects offer incentives (bribes) to voters to influence their votes. Voters can earn bribes by voting for the pools that offer the best rewards.
How are BERO emissions distributed? +
BERO emissions are distributed to liquidity pools based on the number of votes each pool receives. The more votes a pool gets, the more BERO it earns. This creates a competitive environment where protocols bribe voters to attract liquidity.
Can I use Beradrome if I am not a developer? +
Absolutely. Beradrome is designed for all users — from beginners to experienced DeFi users. The interface is intuitive, and you can start swapping, farming, or staking with just a few clicks. If you need help, check the documentation or join the community.
What are the transaction fees on Berachain? +
Berachain has very low gas fees, typically less than a cent per transaction. This makes Beradrome an affordable DeFi platform, especially compared to Ethereum. Fees are paid in BERO.
How do I check my rewards and positions? +
Connect your wallet to Beradrome, and you will see your balances, LP positions, staked amounts, and claimable rewards on the respective pages (Farms, Vote, Claim). The interface updates in real time.
Does Beradrome have a stablecoin? +
Beradrome itself does not issue a stablecoin, but it supports trading of stablecoins like HONEY (Berachain’s native stable) and other stable assets through its swap and liquidity pools.
What is the maximum supply of BERO? +
The total supply of BERO is capped, but the exact number may vary. You can check the Berachain documentation for up‑to‑date tokenomics. Beradrome does not control BERO emissions; it only distributes them through gauges.
How do I bridge assets to Berachain? +
You can bridge assets from other chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.) to Berachain using official bridges like the Berachain bridge, Axelar, or other third‑party bridges. Once on Berachain, you can use them on Beradrome.
What is the difference between Beradrome and Berachain? +
Berachain is the Layer‑1 blockchain. Beradrome is a DeFi protocol built on Berachain. Think of Berachain as the foundation and Beradrome as one of the key applications running on it, similar to Uniswap on Ethereum.
Is Beradrome open source? +
Yes, Beradrome’s smart contracts are open source and available on GitHub. The frontend code is also publicly accessible. This transparency allows the community to review and verify the code.
How do I report a bug or vulnerability? +
Beradrome has a bug bounty program. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it through the official channels (e.g., Immunefi or contact form) to responsibly disclose it and potentially earn a reward.
Where can I find the Beradrome documentation? +
The official documentation is available at docs.beradrome.com. It covers all features, guides, and technical details. You can also find links to audits, whitepapers, and community resources there.
How do I contact Beradrome support? +
For support, you can join the Beradrome Discord or Telegram community. The team and community members are active and can help with common issues. Be cautious of scammers impersonating support — never share your private keys or seed phrases.
Does Beradrome have a native token? +
Beradrome does not have its own token; it uses BERO and veBERO for governance and incentives. The protocol is designed to be fully compatible with Berachain’s native assets.
What is the locking period for veBERO? +
You can lock BERO for veBERO for any period from 1 week up to 4 years. The longer you lock, the more voting power and rewards you receive. Locked veBERO cannot be transferred, but you can withdraw the underlying BERO only after the lock period ends.
Can I use Beradrome with a hardware wallet? +
Yes, Beradrome supports hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor via Web3. Simply connect your hardware wallet through your preferred wallet interface (e.g., MetaMask with Ledger) and interact with Beradrome securely.
How do I get started with farming on Beradrome? +
First, provide liquidity to a pool on Beradrome (or use an existing LP token). Then go to the Farms page, select a farm, deposit your LP tokens, and start earning rewards. Remember to claim your rewards periodically.
What is the APY on Beradrome farms? +
APY varies by pool and is dynamic based on trading volume, emissions, and total staked amount. You can check real‑time APY on the Farms page. It may change frequently, so always verify before depositing.
Is there a minimum deposit for farms? +
No, there is no minimum deposit, but you need to consider gas fees. It’s recommended to deposit amounts that justify the transaction cost. You can start with a small amount to test.
How are rewards distributed in farms? +
Rewards are distributed based on your share of the pool’s total staked LP tokens. Each epoch (e.g., weekly), rewards are calculated and can be claimed on the Claim page. Some farms automatically compound, while others require manual claiming.
What is impermanent loss and how does it affect me? +
Impermanent loss occurs when the price ratio of the two assets in a liquidity pool changes. It can reduce your returns compared to holding the assets separately. Beradrome’s concentrated liquidity and high fees can offset IL, but it’s a risk to consider when providing liquidity.
