Unlocking Berachain’s Yield Potential: How to Earn $BERA with Boyco

The highly anticipated Boyco platform is here, unlocking massive opportunities for early adopters in the Berachain ecosystem. For the first time, users can deposit liquidity pre-mainnet and earn rewards from native protocols like Kodiak, Infrared, and Beraborrow. With millions of dollars in incentives and a structured yield farming mechanism, Boyco is set to position Berachain as a top-tier blockchain from day one.

In this guide, we'll break down how Boyco works, its key protocols, and the best strategies to maximize your rewards. We'll also analyze the current metrics, highlight the most promising pools, and explain the risks associated with liquidity locks.

What is Boyco?

Boyco is a pre-mainnet liquidity platform designed to give Berachain applications a head start by securing liquidity before launch. This allows dApps to avoid the traditional capital-building phase and function optimally from day one.

Key Benefits of Boyco:

  • Enables users to deposit liquidity on Ethereum before Berachain's launch.
  • Provides staking rewards in $BERA and native protocol tokens.
  • Offers a 90-day lock period for most pools, ensuring liquidity stability.
  • Multiple yield sources including dApp incentives, protocol fees, and governance rewards.

Boyco is built in collaboration with Royco, Enso, LayerZero, and Stargate, ensuring seamless cross-chain compatibility.

How Boyco Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Choose a liquidity pool (Vault) — Select from pools that offer stablecoins, ETH, BTC, or other assets.
  2. Deposit funds via Ethereum — Liquidity is held until Berachain's mainnet launch.
  3. Receive staking rewards — Earn $BERA, governance tokens, and additional incentives from supported dApps.
  4. Liquidity Migration — Deposits automatically transition to Berachain at mainnet launch.
  5. Unlock and Withdraw — After the 90-day lock, retrieve assets plus rewards.

Boyco Metrics: A Game-Changer for Berachain

As of now, over $2.16 billion is locked in Boyco, showcasing the massive investor interest in Berachain's ecosystem.

Key Statistics:

  • TVL (Total Value Locked): $2.19 billion
  • Active Depositors: Over 153,000 wallets
  • Boyco-Exclusive Liquidity: $53 million locked in just a few hours
  • Projected Mainnet TVL: Estimated to reach $4–5 billion on launch day

Berachain is already among the top DeFi chains by TVL — even before its official launch!

The Best Boyco Pools: Where to Stake and Earn

Each Boyco vault (BOW) is structured to offer high APRs with different risk profiles. Here's a breakdown of the top vaults:

1️⃣ Stablecoin Pools (Low Risk)

  • Honeypot Vault (Honar — Set & Forgetti)
  • Deposit: USDC
  • Rewards: $BERA + $HELLO (Honar's governance token)
  • Hard Cap: $42M
  • Lock Period: 90 days
  • Best for: Low-risk stable yield seekers
  • Veraborrow & Kodiak Stable Vault
  • Deposit: NEET (Stablecoin) + HONEY
  • Rewards: $BERA + $POLLEN (Veraborrow governance token) + Kodiak points
  • Hard Cap: $30M
  • Best for: DeFi-native investors looking for stable yield

2️⃣ ETH & BTC Pools (Medium Risk)

  • Infrared & Kodiak ETH Pool
  • Deposit: ETH
  • Rewards: $BERA + $INFRA (Infrared token) + Kodiak points
  • Best for: ETH holders seeking additional yield without price risk
  • Beraborrow & Kodiak BTC/ETH Pool
  • Deposit: BTC + ETH
  • Rewards: $BERA + $POLLEN + Kodiak points
  • Best for: Investors bullish on BTC & ETH long-term performance

3️⃣ High-Risk Pools (Volatile Pairs)

  • ETH-USDC Uniswap Pool
  • Deposit: ETH + USDC
  • Rewards: $BERA + DEX fees + governance incentives
  • Best for: Traders willing to accept impermanent loss for higher yield

Risks and Considerations

Although Boyco presents an excellent yield farming opportunity, there are risks to consider:

🔴 90-Day Lock Period: Once funds are deposited, they cannot be withdrawn until Berachain mainnet launches and the lock period ends.

🔴 Market Volatility: If crypto markets crash, the rewards may not compensate for potential asset depreciation.

🔴 Impermanent Loss: For ETH/USDC and BTC/ETH pairs, price fluctuations can lead to losses relative to holding assets separately.

🔴 Protocol Risks: Despite thorough vetting, smart contract vulnerabilities could impact funds.

Is Boyco a Good Investment?

Boyco presents a rare opportunity to earn high APRs from Berachain's most promising dApps before mainnet launch. With over $2B in deposits and structured liquidity incentives, it is positioned as one of the most significant yield farming events of 2024. However, the 90-day lock and market risks require careful consideration.

Should you participate? If you are looking for stablecoin yields above 50% APR or want exposure to Berachain-native tokens, Boyco is an attractive option. But if you need liquid assets in the short term, it may be best to wait until mainnet launch.
