A Berachain proxy isn't optional if you're running more than a handful of wallets on Artio testnet or the Berachain mainnet. Berachain's Proof-of-Liquidity model attracted hundreds of thousands of farmers, and the team has been vocal about running sybil filtering before any token distribution. If all your wallets share the same residential IP or, worse, a datacenter IP, Nansen and Arkham can cluster them in minutes. This guide covers exactly how to set up mobile 4G proxies for Berachain farming, why IP isolation matters more here than on most L2s, and what a production-grade multi-wallet setup actually looks like. You'll learn:
- Why Berachain's anti-sybil approach is stricter than Arbitrum or zkSync
- How to assign one dedicated proxy per wallet profile in GoLogin or AdsPower
- The difference between mobile, residential, and datacenter proxies for this use case
- How to configure SOCKS5 rotation so your IP changes between wallet sessions
Why Berachain Sybil Detection Is Different
Most L2 airdrops run a basic on-chain filter: minimum transaction count, minimum bridge volume, age of wallet. Berachain added a layer that most farmers underestimated. Because Proof-of-Liquidity ties validator rewards directly to liquidity provision in native dApps like BEX, Bend, and Berps, the protocol has a clean economic signal for who is genuinely participating versus who is just touching the minimum viable transactions. The team partnered with analytics providers to look at both on-chain patterns and off-chain signals.
Off-chain signals include IP address at the time of faucet claims on Artio testnet, browser fingerprint collected by the dApp frontend, and timing patterns between wallet actions. When we farmed Artio across 40 wallet profiles in 2024, wallets that shared even a single faucet claim IP were linked in the analytics dashboard we monitored. That's not speculation. Nansen's wallet clustering tool flags shared IPs as a primary sybil signal, and Berachain's team has publicly referenced using third-party analytics.
The practical takeaway: you need one clean IP per wallet, and that IP needs to look like a real human browsing from a mobile device. Not a VPN. Not a datacenter range. A real 4G carrier IP inside a CGNAT pool.
Key takeaway: Berachain's sybil filter combines on-chain activity quality with off-chain IP and fingerprint signals. Sharing IPs across wallets is the fastest way to get your entire farm excluded.
- Faucet claims on Artio testnet logged IPs at the time of request
- Frontend dApps on Berachain mainnet collect browser fingerprint data
- Timing patterns between wallets acting within seconds of each other are a red flag
- Nansen and Arkham cluster wallets by shared IP as a primary signal
Mobile vs Residential vs Datacenter Proxy for Berachain
There are three proxy types you'll encounter when setting up a farming operation. Understanding why only one of them actually works for Berachain will save you money and wallets.
Datacenter proxies
Fast and cheap. Also immediately detected. Berachain's frontend dApps, like most modern DeFi protocols, use MaxMind and similar IP reputation databases. Datacenter IP ranges from AWS, Hetzner, or DigitalOcean are flagged as non-residential within milliseconds. If you're farming with these, you're already in the high-risk bucket before your wallet sends a single transaction.
Residential proxies
Better than datacenter. These route through real home broadband connections, often sourced from peer-to-peer networks where users opt in (or sometimes don't fully understand they opted in). The problem is pool quality. Shared residential proxy pools are heavily recycled. The same IP that your farming session used was probably used by ten other people this week, including other farmers. Reputation degrades fast.
4G mobile proxies
This is the only category that holds up under serious anti-sybil scrutiny. A real LTE modem with a physical SIM from a carrier like Deutsche Telekom or Vodafone EU sits inside a CGNAT pool that's shared by thousands of legitimate mobile users. From Berachain's perspective, your wallet interaction looks identical to someone checking their DeFi portfolio on their phone during a commute. The IP trust score is maximum. Detection rate against major sybil filters is effectively zero.
For testnet farming specifically, mobile IPs are the only proxies that consistently pass faucet rate limits without triggering captcha loops or IP bans.
Key takeaway: For Berachain, 4G mobile proxies on real carrier SIMs are the only proxy type that clears both IP reputation checks and anti-sybil clustering filters reliably.
How Wallet Clustering Gets You Flagged
Got 30 wallets flagged on a sybil list? Here's why. Wallet clustering doesn't just happen through shared IPs. It happens through a combination of signals that, individually, might not be enough to flag you, but together create a clear fingerprint of coordinated activity.
The most common clustering signals Berachain analysts look for:
- Shared IP at faucet claim: Multiple wallets claimed testnet BERA from the same IP within the same session or even the same day
- Sequential nonce timing: Wallets executing identical transactions within seconds of each other, suggesting scripted automation from a single machine
- Browser fingerprint overlap: The same canvas hash, WebGL renderer, or AudioContext fingerprint appearing across multiple wallet sessions
- Identical gas settings: When 20 wallets all set the same non-default gas price, it's a clear automation signal
- On-chain fund source: All wallets funded from the same CEX withdrawal address or the same bridge transaction
The IP layer and the fingerprint layer are both off-chain signals that you control at the infrastructure level. An anti-detect browser like GoLogin or Multilogin handles fingerprint isolation. A dedicated Berachain proxy per browser profile handles IP isolation. You need both working together.
And don't forget the RPC endpoint. When your MetaMask or Rabby wallet connects to an RPC node to submit transactions, that request includes your real IP unless you're routing it through a proxy at the browser or OS level. A misconfigured setup where you have a proxy in the browser but the wallet extension is hitting the RPC directly is a partial fix that still leaks your real IP to node operators and potentially to analytics tools scraping node logs.
Setting Up Your Berachain Proxy in GoLogin or AdsPower
Here's a production setup that works. We ran this configuration across 40 profiles during Artio testnet farming and it held up through the entire campaign.
What you need
- One 4G mobile proxy port per wallet (CryptoProxy gives you a dedicated port with unlimited bandwidth)
- GoLogin, AdsPower, or Dolphin Anty for browser profile isolation
- MetaMask or Rabby installed inside each profile
- A unique seed phrase per profile, stored offline
Step-by-step configuration in GoLogin
- Create a new browser profile in GoLogin. Set the OS fingerprint to Android or iOS for maximum mobile alignment with your 4G proxy IP.
- In the proxy settings tab, select SOCKS5. Enter your CryptoProxy host, port, username, and password. SOCKS5 is preferred over HTTP because it routes all traffic including WebSocket connections that some DeFi frontends use.
- Click the IP check button inside GoLogin to confirm the proxy is active and showing your assigned mobile IP, not your real IP.
- Open the profile and install MetaMask. Add the Berachain network manually (Chain ID: 80094 for mainnet, or use Chainlist).
- Import your wallet using the seed phrase for this specific profile. Never reuse seed phrases across profiles.
- Before interacting with any Berachain dApp, verify your external IP using our IP checker tool to confirm you're on the mobile IP, not leaking your real address.
- Rotate the proxy IP via API or dashboard before starting a new wallet session.
For AdsPower users, the proxy configuration is in the same location under profile settings. The logic is identical. What matters is that every profile has a unique proxy assignment and you're not sharing ports between profiles.
Key takeaway: One GoLogin or AdsPower profile, one dedicated SOCKS5 proxy port, one MetaMask with its own seed phrase. This is the minimum viable isolation unit for Berachain farming.
IP Rotation Between Wallet Sessions
IP rotation is where a lot of farmers make a critical mistake. They rotate IPs while the same session is active, which can actually create more anomalous signals than using a static IP. The correct approach is to rotate between sessions, not during them.
Here's the workflow that minimizes sybil risk:
- Assign wallet A to profile A. Profile A uses Proxy Port 1 with a static IP for the entire session.
- Complete all actions for wallet A: bridge, swap, liquidity provision on BEX, borrow on Bend.
- Close profile A completely.
- Rotate the IP on Port 1 via API call or CryptoProxy dashboard. This takes 2 seconds on a real 4G modem.
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes before opening profile B on a different port. Don't batch all wallets in immediate sequence.
The timing gap between sessions matters. Analytics tools flag farms where 30 wallets all execute the same sequence within a 2-hour window. Spread your sessions across different time-of-day windows if you're running a large operation. Real users don't all interact with DeFi protocols at the exact same hour.
Auto-rotation is available on CryptoProxy with a configurable interval. For Berachain farming, we recommend manual rotation triggered between sessions rather than time-based auto-rotation. You want predictable IP assignments during active sessions and fresh IPs at session boundaries.
If you're also doing Galxe or Zealy quest farming alongside your Berachain on-chain activity, apply the same isolation rule. The quest platform frontend also logs IPs and links social accounts to wallet addresses. A shared IP between your Twitter account and your farming wallet is a direct link that sybil analysts will find.
Mainnet Farming Strategy with Proof-of-Liquidity
Berachain mainnet launched in February 2025 with Proof-of-Liquidity as its core consensus mechanism. The model is different from standard L2s: validators earn BGT (Berachain Governance Token) by directing liquidity to whitelisted pools. Users who provide liquidity to these pools also earn BGT emissions. BGT isn't transferable but can be burned 1:1 for BERA.
For farmers, this creates a specific activity checklist that signals genuine participation:
- Bridge BERA or approved assets onto the chain using Berachain's native bridge or Stargate
- Provide liquidity to BGT-incentivized pools on BEX (Berachain's native DEX)
- Borrow and repay on Bend (the native lending protocol) to show protocol engagement
- Trade on Berps (perpetuals) for additional activity signals
- Hold and delegate BGT rather than immediately burning it, which signals long-term alignment
Each of these actions needs to come from a different IP per wallet. The on-chain pattern (what you do) needs to match the off-chain signal (where you're connecting from). A single IP submitting 20 transactions across 20 wallets inside a 30-minute window is textbook sybil behavior, regardless of how sophisticated the on-chain activity looks.
Budget-wise, running 10 wallets on Berachain mainnet with proper IP isolation costs roughly $110 per month using CryptoProxy's 30-day plans at $60 each for two ports, splitting sessions across ports with rotation. Scale up to 50 wallets with bulk port pricing. For serious airdrop farming operations, this infrastructure cost is a small fraction of expected token value from a legitimate BERA allocation.
Key takeaway: Mainnet Proof-of-Liquidity rewards genuine, sustained protocol use. Combine quality on-chain activity with strict IP isolation per wallet to maximize both your rewards and your sybil-resistance.
Conclusion
Berachain's combination of Proof-of-Liquidity mechanics and serious anti-sybil filtering makes it one of the more demanding farming targets of 2026. The on-chain activity requirements are meaningful, and the off-chain IP isolation requirements are non-negotiable. Running a clean operation means one dedicated Berachain proxy per wallet profile, SOCKS5 configuration inside an anti-detect browser, IP rotation between sessions, and consistent timing discipline across your wallet set. Cut corners on any of these and you're risking your entire farm on a sybil filter that has already proven it will remove clustered wallets before distribution. The infrastructure cost is real but small relative to what a clean BERA allocation is worth.
