Infrared’s Liquid Staking and Automated Proof-of-Liquidity Vaults
Summary
The article explains Infrared as a Berachain protocol that automates participation in Proof of Liquidity. Users deposit BERA or eligible liquidity-provider tokens into vaults; the protocol handles staking, validator delegation, reward collection, and compounding. It describes iBERA and iBGT as liquid tokens representing staked BERA or PoL exposure that can also be used across compatible DeFi applications. The text outlines the protocol’s vault, distribution, and staking components, as well as the IR token’s governance and fee-related roles.
The article supplies project-reported details on token allocation, vesting, fees, partnerships, funding, and historical total value locked. It does not independently verify those figures or provide a measured comparison of vault returns, risks, or performance. Liquid tokens and automated strategies still depend on smart contracts, validators, liquidity, and Berachain’s reward system; the document offers limited discussion of those risks.
Key ideas
- Infrared vaults automate deposits, liquidity staking, validator delegation, and reward distribution within Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity system.
- iBERA and iBGT are described as liquid representations that can remain usable in compatible DeFi applications.
- The IR token is assigned governance and protocol fee-related functions.
- Reported allocations, fees, and protocol metrics are project details without independent performance analysis in the document.
