Berachain Governance Update: RFRV Batch 11 Approved
The Governance Guardians have approved a new set of Reward Treasury Requests (RFRVs).
This week’s batch of requests introduces a novel fee-centric trading reward model and expands Berachain’s lending layer with deeper integration with the Infrared ecosystem. Both vaults continue the trend of expanding Proof of Liquidity (PoL) incentives from passive TVL to high-value activities such as volume, lending, and composability.
In addition to approving the new Reward Treasury, two protocol-level governance improvements were enacted:
Eligibility Requirements Changes
On April 7, 2025, it was announced that staked tokens must have at least 100 holders to qualify for the Reward Treasury. The Governance Guardians have decided to remove this requirement. This update lowers the barrier to entry for new protocols.
Validator Allocation Queues Accelerated
Except for governance guardian voting, validator reward pool allocation queues have been shortened to 450 blocks (~15 minutes), down from the previous minimum of 2000 blocks. This update enables validators to respond to changes more quickly, creating a more efficient market feedback loop for BGT boosters and those participating in the protocol.
Non-DEX Reward Vaults (Proposers — Utility)
Honeypot — All-in-One Vault
Euler — MEV Capital Red Cluster wBERA Lending
In addition, all requests for adjustments to existing reward vaults have been approved, and the Labs team has worked with the projects to complete incentive replacements or necessary adjustments.
