According to official sources, Bera Labs has proposed to reduce the BGT inflation rate to 5%. Currently, Berachain mints BGT at a target rate of around 10% per year, with the actual inflation rate averaging about 8% so far this year. The proposal suggests that while high inflation rates are appropriate in the early stages of the network validators and early application ecosystem launch, as the ecosystem matures and a new macroeconomic environment forms, it is recommended to reduce the BGT inflation rate to around 5% to reduce unnecessary dilution, improve sustainability and emission efficiency, while remaining competitive with other L1s.
The proposal will not modify reward mechanisms, treasury allocation logic, or any Proof of Liquidity (PoL) functional components.
The proposal also indicates that inflation rates will be further reduced in 2026 and 2027 to align more closely with Ethereum. Additionally, the team is evaluating long-term improvements to PoL to create sustainable protocol-level income and increase the value of BGT over time.
