Berachain's PoL mechanism fundamentally changes how L1 economics are structured by creating an efficient marketplace between validators, users, and applications. Validators stake BERA (250K-10M) to secure the network and receive BGT rewards, which they can direct to application reward vaults in exchange for protocol incentives. This system allows chain rewards to scale with actual demand for economic security and chain liquidity.

The EIGEN token is a universal intersubjective work token designed for EigenLayer, enabling security for various digital tasks that are not just objectively verifiable but also intersubjectively attributable. Unlike traditional work tokens that are tied to one specific digital task or objective faults (verifiable on-chain), EIGEN addresses a broader category of faults where multiple external observers agree on whether the task was performed correctly. This expands the range of tasks that can be securely managed on a blockchain.
EIGEN tokens are used for:

Staking for intersubjective faults on the EigenLayer platform.

Performing validation tasks across various Actively Validated Services (AVS).

Incentivizing and penalizing operators based on their performance.

Virtuals Protocol

LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed for lightweight message passing across chains. LayerZero provides authentic and guaranteed message delivery with configurable trustlessness. It is a “blockchain of blockchains” that allows other blockchain networks to communicate directly and in a trustless manner.

LayerZero’s key feature is Ultra Light Nodes (ULNs). These smart contracts run on each blockchain and act as endpoints for cross-chain communication. ULNs verify the validity of transactions and messages from other chains using block headers and transaction proofs, ensuring security and efficiency.

LayerZero supports any blockchain that can run smart contracts, such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom and other chains. LayerZero also supports non-EVM chains like Aptos. These so-called omnichain applications should become a key layer of a multi-chain future, where different blockchains interact simultaneously.

LayerZero aims to create the optimal interoperability solution for blockchains with seamless and trustless cross-chain transactions.

Axelar claims to deliver “secure cross-chain communication for Web3.” The project provides a decentralized network and tools to help builders of decentralized applications (dApps) with seamless cross-chain communication through its protocol suite, tools and APIs.

Axelar features three core components – a decentralized network, a software development kit of protocols and APIs, and a set of gateway smart contracts for cross-chain connectivity.

Powered by a decentralized network of validators, anyone can join the network, build on it, or use it. Apps builders can interact with a simple API atop a permissionless network that routes messages and ensures network security via proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

AXL is the native token of the Axelar network. The protocol also supports the cross-chain transfer of several native tokens via their wrapped ERC-20 versions, including AVAX (Avalanche), ETH (Ethereum), FTM (Fantom), GLMR (Moonbeam), and MATIC (Polygon).

Meanwhile, Axelar has raised capital from top-tier investors, including Binance, Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, Polychain Capital and others.
