Available Off-Ramping Pathways
Published 6/20/2026, 12:16:03 PM
To reduce slippage when off-ramping from Berachain, users should focus on utilizing concentrated liquidity DEXs, leveraging trade aggregators, and employing advanced order types like dTWAP to minimize market impact.
Available Off-Ramping Pathways
Off-ramping from Berachain typically requires a two-step process: swapping native assets for liquid tokens (like USDC or BERA) and then moving those assets to a Centralized Exchange (CEX) or bridging to another chain.
| Method | Primary Platforms | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| DEX Swaps | Kodiak Finance, BurrBear, BEX | Converting native assets to USDC or HONEY |
| CEX Direct | Binance, BitMart, Hibt, OKX | Direct BERA-to-fiat or BERA-to-USDT sales |
| Bridges | Stargate, Across, CCTP | Moving USDC to Ethereum, Base, or Solana |
| Aggregators | Ooga Booga, Li.Fi, Jumper | Finding the cheapest cross-chain route |
Factors Influencing Slippage
- Liquidity Concentration: BEX uses full-range AMMs, which can be less capital-efficient for large trades. In contrast, Kodiak Finance utilizes Concentrated Liquidity (CLAMM), providing deeper liquidity within specific price ranges to reduce slippage.
- Asset Pairings: Stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps (e.g., HONEY to USDC) generally experience the lowest slippage on platforms like BurrBear, which uses specialized stable-swap invariants.
- CEX Order Book Depth: For those off-ramping via CEXs, spreads vary significantly. Hibt has been noted for a low 0.04% spread, while Binance (BERA/TRY) and Bybit maintain spreads around 0.06% to 0.08%.
- Network Upgrades: Major network events, such as the PoL Next Mainnet Activation (June 23, 2026) and the Fusaka Upgrade (June 24, 2026), may impact liquidity and volatility during those specific windows.
Strategies to Minimize Slippage
- Use dTWAP Orders: On Kodiak Finance, users can utilize Time-Weighted Average Price (dTWAP) orders. This breaks large sell orders into smaller chunks over a set period, significantly reducing the market impact compared to a single large swap.
- Route via Aggregators: Tools like Ooga Booga or 1inch should be used to route trades. These platforms split orders across multiple DEXs (Kodiak, BEX, Honeypot) to find the path with the highest liquidity and lowest slippage.
- MEV Protection: For large trades, using Honeypot Finance can help protect against "sandwich attacks," where bots front-run trades to artificially inflate slippage.
- Borrowing Instead of Selling: To avoid high slippage on a large position, users can use BEND to borrow HONEY against their assets. The HONEY can then be off-ramped through deeper stablecoin pools, which often have tighter spreads.
- Limit Orders: Utilize dLIMIT orders on Kodiak to ensure trades only execute at a specific price, preventing execution during periods of high volatility or low liquidity.
Note on Network Stability: While the PoL Next Mainnet Activation and Fusaka Upgrade dates are confirmed for June 23–24, 2026, claims regarding specific liquidity withdrawal patterns or optimal trading hours (e.g., 12:00–16:00 UTC) have not been independently verified.
