About Infrared
Infrared is a liquid staking protocol built natively on Berachain, serving as a core hub for the ecosystem's Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism. Its primary business revolves around issuing liquid staking tokens: users can stake BERA to receive iBERA, or deposit LP tokens into PoL Vaults to receive iBGT. These tokens remain liquid and can be used across DeFi applications (DEXs, lending markets) while still accruing underlying staking and PoL rewards.
The core competitive advantage lies in its deep integration with Berachain's unique three-token architecture (BERA, BGT, HONEY). Infrared automates the entire PoL workflow—LP provision, BGT reward capture, validator delegation, and yield compounding—into a simplified one-click experience. This abstraction layer significantly lowers the barrier for ordinary users to participate in Berachain's consensus and reward systems.
The market pain point it addresses is the inherent complexity and capital inefficiency of Berachain's PoL design. Without Infrared, users must manually manage validator delegation, track BGT emissions, and juggle between staking for network security and using capital for DeFi opportunities. Infrared solves this by converting illiquid staking positions into freely tradable liquid tokens, effectively resolving the "staker's dilemma."
Regarding recent development (March to September 2026), Infrared has focused on expanding its product suite. The protocol launched native IR staking in early 2026, allowing users to stake IR for sIR and earn protocol revenue. It also introduced a Dutch auction system for BGT emission rights, enabling third-party protocols to bid for reward flows. These features aim to deepen liquidity and create additional utility for the IR token within the Berachain ecosystem.
Positive: On April 11, 2026, TermMaxFi launched a lending market on Berachain supporting sIR as collateral to borrow HONEY, and added Beefy vaults, boosting sIR liquidity and utility, driving IR price rebound (24h range 40.9%).
Negative: On April 17, 27.64 million IR unlocked ($1.01M), creating potential selling pressure. No substantive buyback/burn events occurred in the past six months.
