Berachain Sees Record Pre-Launch Deposits Ahead of Mainnet

Berachain, an innovative EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain featuring a novel proof-of-liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism, has attracted unprecedented interest ahead of its mainnet launch. The protocol's pre-launch deposit vaults have surpassed $2 billion in total value locked (TVL) across multiple protocols, demonstrating remarkable community confidence and positioning it among the top 10 blockchains by TVL before even launching. The platform's current Boyco phase will serve as a pre-launch liquidity platform, with over 1% of the BERA token supply to be allocated to depositors. InfStones is proud to be selected as a validator partner for Berachain's mainnet launch, supporting this groundbreaking network that bridges traditional DeFi mechanics with novel consensus mechanisms. The protocol's strong momentum and strategic approach to bootstrapping liquidity suggest it will be a significant player in the industry upon launch.

Symbiotic Launches Mainnet with Strong Operator Network

Symbiotic, the much anticipated shared security protocol leveraging Ethereum's massive $110B+ staked ETH collateral, is set to launch its mainnet on January 28th, 2025. The protocol introduces a permissionless and modular framework that allows any ERC-20 token to participate in securing multiple networks simultaneously. InfStones is proud to serve as a launch operator for Symbiotic, bringing its enterprise-grade infrastructure expertise and perfect zero-slashing track record to support groundbreaking networks within the ecosystem. Among the first networks to leverage Symbiotic's shared security model are Primev, which introduces a credible commitment system for MEV preconfirmations, and Radius, a shared sequencing protocol enabling rollups to capture MEV revenue while protecting users from harmful practices through zero-knowledge algorithms. With over 633,000 ETH already deposited from more than 121,000 unique addresses during its testnet phase, Symbiotic's launch represents a significant milestone in creating a more efficient and secure blockchain ecosystem through shared security.
