The PoSL mechanism step by step

Explore the Bedrock Proof of Staking Liquidity cycle from liquid restaking activity to BR incentives, veBR voting and gauge-driven governance allocation.

1. Activity in the liquid restaking ecosystem

Participants interact with supported staking or restaking assets and protocols according to those products’ rules. These activities may make them eligible for incentives under a specific program. Eligibility and rates are not universal across every asset.

2. BR enters the incentive layer

BR serves as a governance and reward asset. Its emissions and distributions can be shaped by program conditions and governance. Receiving BR from one mechanism does not automatically create veBR or grant a right to claim from another program.

3. Stake BR for veBR

A holder can commit BR to vote escrow, creating a veBR position and accepting a lock period. The amount and age of a stake can affect effective voting influence according to the model’s parameters.

4. Use governance to direct incentives

Eligible veBR holders vote on supported gauges during voting phases. Distribution phases follow according to the epoch cycle. The result can influence future incentives, but individual returns depend on the distribution conditions and total participation.

Use the governance dashboard for changing figures and the staking, voting or rewards pages for wallet-specific actions. Historical program details are provided as reference material.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main steps in the PoSL model?

The guide connects ecosystem activity, BR incentives, BR staking for veBR and governance decisions that direct incentives.

Does PoSL remove staking trade-offs?

No. The documentation describes capital-efficiency goals while still requiring users to consider staking, governance and exit conditions.
