Empowering Builders on Berachain with Nirvana's Purpose-Built Web3 Cloud Infrastructure

We are excited to announce that Nirvana Labs now supports Berachain. This partnership represents our ongoing commitment to providing blockchain developers across a growing number of ecosystems with high-performance, reliable infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of web3 projects.

By supporting Berachain, Nirvana Labs offers developers in that ecosystem access to our purpose-built web3 cloud infrastructure and managed RPC node services that are optimized to provide high-throughput, low-latency performance while trimming costs by reducing reliance on traditional cloud providers.

To get started building on Berachain today, learn how to use Nirvana’s managed RPC service and spin up a free RPC node here: Nirvana Node Set Up Guide.

About Berachain

Founded in 2021, Berachain is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain most notably known for its unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. Berachain was built using the Cosmos software development kit and is EVM-compatible - meaning the network seamlessly integrates with Ethereum-based applications whilst being engineered for scalability, network security, and sovereignty.

Berachain’s flagship PoL feature builds on top of the more commonly known Proof-of-Stake (PoS) concept by introducing an additional governance token. In essence, this token aligns the incentives of users, validators, and applications through its cyclical distribution and delegation. The resulting effect is an optimization of liquidity provided to and security of the chain. You can read more about PoL here.

Recently, Berachain secured $100M in Series B funding led by investment platform Brevan Howard Digital and Framework Ventures. Berachain is expected to launch their mainnet in 2024.

Berachain’s key features

● Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism

● EVM compatibility

● Multiple tokens: $BERA (network token), $BGT (governance token), and HONEY (stablecoin)

Use Cases for Berachain

● Defragmenting Liquidity: Simple DeFi legos (AMM, Perps, Lend) and pools built into the chain and powered by validators

● Turbocharging Applications: Validators direct network emissions towards decentralized dApps building on Berachain

● Highly Accessible: EVM identical blockchain compatible with all existing ethereum ERCs and opcodes

Benefits of Using Nirvana Labs for Building on Berachain

Nirvana Labs is the world’s first full-stack cloud platform crafted by crypto natives and cloud experts to handle the unique demands of blockchain applications.

Nirvana’s offerings include Nirvana Cloud, the world’s first bare metal cloud purpose-built for web3 companies, which is the backbone for its highly reliable load-balanced RPC nodes and enterprise-grade dedicated nodes.

Building on the Berachain network with Nirvana Labs offers web3 builders several benefits over existing options.

● Optimized Performance: Our infrastructure is optimized for efficient data processing and web3 workloads, ensuring our nodes provide higher throughput and lower latency than competitors’.

● Cost Efficiency: Because Nirvana Cloud is purpose-built to handle web3-specific applications, we reduce the need to overpay for traditional cloud services and help developers lower their operational costs.

● Reliability: Our globally distributed network of hubs and capabilities, such as offering flex nodes that route every API request to the nearest data center location that can provide the lowest latency response, provide developers with reliable and resilient service.

By combining bare metal infrastructure with a web3-centric operating system across more than a dozen data centers globally, Nirvana devours the intensive, dynamic workloads of blockchains while reducing cloud bills by as much as 80% compared to traditional providers.

How to Deploy your First Node on Berachain Network

1. Visit Nirvana Labs' website and click on the "Sign Up" button to enter your details and create a free account. Confirm your account by responding to the email you’ll receive.

2. After logging into your new account, click on “Dashboard” to access your account dashboard. This will take you to an overview page of the RPC nodes you’re running and you can access.

3. Next, click on Create Node to initiate the process of setting up your RPC node. You will then be taken to a page with the supported blockchains by Nirvana Labs.

4. Select the Berachain and specify whether you’re running an RPC node on the mainnet or testnet. We recommend giving your node a unique and identifiable name for easier navigation.

5. Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a free RPC node on Berachain using the Nirvana Labs platform.

Supporting Berachain is a significant step in our mission to provide high-quality, tailored infrastructure for blockchain developers. We look forward to seeing the innovative projects that will be built on Berachain using Nirvana Cloud, and encourage you to share what you’re working on with us and other builders on X.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand and enhance our offerings.
