PoL Governance

Governance controls for Proof of Liquidity: vault whitelisting, emission parameters, incentive fee routing, and DES.

Proof of Liquidity has several governance-controlled surfaces. Creating a Reward Vault is permissionless, but governance must whitelist vaults before validators can route emissions to them. See the RFRV process below for whitelisting requirements.

Governance-controlled surfaces

Incentive fee destination

Governance sets the shared collector that receives redirected incentive tokens from vaults created by a Reward Vault factory. The collector is the settlement point that turns those incentive tokens into WBERA-denominated yield for liquid staking.

See Incentive Marketplace — Incentive fee settlement and Deployed contract addresses.

Dedicated Emission Stream controls

Governance controls how much of the Reward Vault emission can be carved out for Dedicated Emission Stream allocations, and where those capped allocations go.

See Block rewards — Dedicated Emission Stream for how DES carve-out and per-vault caps interact with validator reward allocation.

Request for Reward Vault (RFRV)

The Reward Vault whitelisting process requires both: 1) a submitted Request for Reward Vault (RFRV) form, and 2) a proposal thread on the Governance Forum.

Application form

RFRV Application Form

BEX pool RFRVs

• Pool must be live on BEX.
• Incentive tokens must be active on that pool.
• Pairing with major assets is preferred (BERA, HONEY, BYUSD, USDC, wETH, wBTC).
• Proposal should show meaningful ecosystem impact.

General (non-BEX) RFRVs

• Contracts must be deployed and live.
• Incentive tokens must be live.
• Proposal should show measurable ecosystem value and risk controls.

Proposals are reviewed weekly by governance stewards.
