Orderly Joins Berachain to Boost Liquidity and DeFi Growth

• Orderly integrates with Berachain, enabling DEXs to offer omnichain order books and improved liquidity through its Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) model.
• Berachain’s rapid growth raises questions about sustainability, with concerns over token distribution and governance transparency amid increasing Total Value Locked (TVL).

Orderly has recently joined Berachain as a trading infrastructure provider, giving the ecosystem a significant boost. DeFi apps on Berachain can now provide perpetual trading on over 100 asset pairs and up to 50x leverage thanks to this connection.

This integration is not only a feature enhancement but also a significant step towards increasing the liquidity and competitiveness of platforms inside the Berachain ecosystem. Berachain, a Layer-1 blockchain featuring a Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism, has lately drawn interest for its creative way of connecting validator incentives to liquidity creation.

Berachain’s Soaring TVL: Growth or Temporary Hype?

Berachain’s Total Value Locked (TVL) had skyrocketed to $3.25 billion as of February 24, 2025, surpassing Base and Arbitrum in DeFi dominance, as CNF previously reported. This boom reveals how quickly Berachain has been embraced and expanded. Still, things have not all gone according.

Alleged insider trading speculation and airdrop distribution have drawn questions in the community. This begs the question of whether this quick expansion is really natural or rather a transient result of incentives.

Polaris: The Traffic Controller of DeFi Liquidity

Polaris also contributes as Berachain develops by autonomously controlling Sky ecosystem liquidity. Polaris improves the PoL mechanism of Berachain by maximizing $7.5 billion in USDS.

While Polaris serves as a traffic management system that guarantees vehicles (liquidity money) continue to flow freely without any congestion, Berachain is the highway allowing DeFi transactions to happen faster and more efficiently when compared to the transportation system of a city.

Beyond Liquidity: The Bigger Challenges Ahead

The connection with Orderly allows different DEX systems on Berachain to leverage the omnichain order book. This is a strategic action meant to draw additional traders to the ecosystem, not only a technical one. Orderly’s liquidity is already supported by more than 20 professional market makers, so consumers may enjoy faster execution and smaller spreads.

But the question now is: is this enough to make Berachain a major player in the DeFi space?

One may argue that the platform has great momentum based on the increase in TVL and the arrival of Orderly. Still, a significant test is still token distribution and liquidity stability. Transparency in government and a well-defined approach for handling problems have to be top concerns if Berachain is to persist over time.

Orderly Co-Founder Ran Yi stated, “Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity model represents an evolution in blockchain consensus, directly aligning network security with DeFi liquidity.” He added:

“Integrating Orderly’s omnichain liquidity layer adds the final piece to the puzzle, empowering Berachain projects to rapidly go from zero to one. With endless liquidity and reliable trading infrastructure taken care of, Berachain builders are free to focus on creating awesome apps that users will love.”

At press time, the BERA token is swapped hands at about $8.48, up 12.73% over the last 24 hours and 14.05% over the last 7 days. This increase also driving its market cap past the $900 million mark.
