# BEX and Proof of Liquidity

> Earn BGT by providing liquidity and staking LP tokens in reward vaults.

Proof of liquidity (PoL) is a mechanism that rewards you for your liquidity contributions to the Berachain ecosystem through native chain rewards, `$BGT`. As the native dApp powering trading liquidity in the Berachain ecosystem, a number of BEX pools will be eligible for `$BGT` rewards.

The process for earning `$BGT` through BEX involves these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Provide liquidity">Deposit liquidity into your chosen BEX pool.</Step>

  <Step title="Stake LP tokens in a reward vault">
    After providing liquidity, you receive LP tokens. Stake these tokens in the pool's staking
    contract.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Whitelisting pools for PoL rewards

If you are a project that uses BEX for your tokens' liquidity, you can apply to have your pool(s) whitelisted for `$BGT` rewards. This process is conducted through Berachain governance, requiring a proposal to be submitted and voted on by `$BGT` holders.
