Berachain
Berachain is a high-performance EVM-identical Layer 1 blockchain built on BeaconKit consensus with a novel Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) economic model that routes block rewards into productive liquidity via Reward Vaults. Mainnet launched in early 2025 (chain ID 80094) with a Bepolia testnet (chain ID 80069). Developer surfaces include public JSON-RPC at rpc.berachain.com, BeaconKit consensus client, EVM execution via Bera-Reth and Bera-Geth, Berascan block explorer, indexers (Goldsky, Envio), and dApps such as BEX (DEX) and Bend / Honey.
Berachain publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Blockchain, Layer 1, EVM, Proof of Liquidity, and DeFi.
Berachain’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 11 more developer resources.
APIs
Berachain Mainnet JSON-RPC
Public Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint for Berachain mainnet (chain ID 80094). Supports the standard eth_* method set used by web3 clients, wallets, and indexers.
Berachain Bepolia Testnet JSON-RPC
Public JSON-RPC endpoint for the Bepolia testnet (chain ID 80069), used for application development and integration testing before deploying to mainnet.
BeaconKit Consensus
Modular consensus layer for Ethereum-based chains used by Berachain to drive validator operations and block production with single-slot finality derived from CometBFT.
Bera-Reth Execution Client
Primary Berachain execution client based on Reth, providing Ethereum-equivalent EVM execution and JSON-RPC for node operators.
Bera-Geth Execution Client
Berachain execution client based on Go-Ethereum, offered as a Geth-compatible alternative to Bera-Reth for node operators.
Proof of Liquidity Protocol
Berachain's economic coordination layer — Reward Vaults, BGT, and validator boost contracts that turn block emissions into application liquidity rather than passive staking yield.
Berascan Block Explorer
Etherscan-style block explorer for Berachain mainnet — view transactions, blocks, contracts, tokens, and verify Solidity source.
Berascan Bepolia Testnet Explorer
Berascan instance for the Bepolia testnet, supporting transaction lookup and contract verification for testnet deployments.
Berachain Developer Tools
Curated registry of RPC providers, oracles, indexers, wallets, dev IDEs, and SDK packages supported on Berachain.
Berachain Deployed Contracts
Registry of core protocol contract addresses on mainnet and Bepolia — Reward Vaults, BGT, HONEY, BERA wrapper, multicall, deterministic deployers, and staking-pool addresses.
