How This Partnership Work: Validation Cloud x Turtle Validator Strategy

Our partnership focuses on Berachain’s tri-token economy, powered by Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL). This innovative model enables us to create new flywheels between validators, users, and protocols by aligning value creation across the ecosystem:

• $BERA (Network Token)

  • Powers transactions and facilitates core network operations.

• $BGT (Governance Token)

  • Earned through staking and liquidity provision.

  • Used to direct protocol emissions, enabling holders to shape the ecosystem.

• $HONEY (Liquidity Token)

  • Drives Berachain’s DeFi economy by incentivizing liquidity provision.

Partnership Highlights

Infrastructure Excellence with Validation Cloud

Validation Cloud brings world-class infrastructure expertise to Berachain’s genesis validator, ensuring:

• High performance – Optimized validation operations to maximize rewards.

• Robust security – Industry-leading protections for staked assets.

• Uptime resilience – Reliable, always-online infrastructure.

Community-First Rewards with Turtle Club

Turtle Club’s model ensures:

• BGT incentives are issued to protocols.

Why This Partnership Matters

The Turtle Club x Validation Cloud partnership combines best-in-class infrastructure with community-focused incentives. Together, we will:

• Drive ecosystem growth by incentivizing participation and supporting Berachain’s most promising protocols.

• Create best-in-class, risk-adjusted yields for Turtle Club members by designing bespoke flywheels.

• Secure Berachain’s network while optimizing $BERA and $BGT deployment for long-term value.

Key Phases of the Partnership

Phase 1: $BERA Delegation and Validator Setup

• The Bera Foundation will delegate $BERA tokens to Validation Cloud.

• Validation Cloud will stake the $BERA tokens on its validator node to secure the network and earn $BGT governance rewards.

• These $BGT rewards will flow into Validation Cloud’s treasury to be allocated strategically.

Phase 2: Integration with Turtle Club

Turtle Club will:

• Provide strategic guidance to Validation Cloud to direct $BGT emissions toward the most profitable partner flywheels.

• Integrate Berachain protocols into the Turtle ecosystem, boosting yields for members and creating value for both partners.

• Deploys $BGT into flywheel opportunities, driving even more rewards and bribes back to the DAO.

Phase 4: Community-Driven Staking Growth

Turtle Club:

• Incentivizes members to stake $BERA through Validation Cloud with $TURTLE token rewards, creating a no-risk staking model that attracts more delegators.

• Directs traffic to the Validation Cloud-Turtle.Club validator, increasing its staking volume and strengthening Berachain’s network security.

Validation Cloud:

• Earns additional revenue from staked $BERA through $BGT rewards.
