The latest batch of reward vault approvals pushes Proof of Liquidity deeper into ecosystem coordination. From Bitcoin-native staking pairs to memecoin buy-and-burn loops, these vaults highlight the growing range of mechanisms using emissions to reinforce long-term alignment.

A common thread is the pairing of native tokens with BERA or iBGT, not just for liquidity, but to strengthen internal economies. Plutus’ new vault uses BERA to anchor its own token in a pool seeded by the DAO, creating a self-reinforcing position with emissions flowing back into treasury-held assets. Henlo routes rewards through xfatBERA and buys HENLO off the market to burn, turning activity into deflation and validator-linked staking yield at once.

Solv brings BTC capital into the mix with two vaults designed to grow liquidity for its Bitcoin wrappers. GOING to ZERO pairs its memecoin with iBGT and commits to long-term incentives, using community-driven attention to reinforce incentive alignment with iBGT.

Across all of them, the focus is on alignment. These vaults reward participation that strengthens the network, builds ownership, or reinforces ecosystem value rather than just extracting rewards.

In parallel, the Governance Guardians have clarified vault criteria to provide a complete source of information around Reward Vault Requirements & Incentive Design Guidelines, including details around major assets, TVL requirements, and guiding questions informing reward vault design.
