Infrared is the largest liquidity staking protocol on Berachain. The TVL once surged to 1.7 billion USD, and now it stands at 244 million. Today, December 17th, at 8 AM, TGE will take place, with Binance Wallet being the first to issue the IR token. The total supply of the IR token is 1 billion, with 205 million in circulation. The specific allocation ratio has not been fully disclosed by the official, but the airdrop targets are clear: it is for early participants in the points program, those who have pre-deposited assets in Boyco, and active Discord members who are players on the testnet can check their eligibility on the official website. The pre-recharge window has already closed at 5 PM on December 15th. Exchanges like Bitget, KuCoin, and Gate support pre-recharges. Those who did not go through the exchanges can directly claim after the TGE today. At noon on December 17th, Bitget and Gate will open the IR/USDT spot trading pair. The core product of Infrared is to turn Berachain's BGT and BERA tokens into liquidity versions iBGT and iBERA. Users can stake and hold the liquidity tokens to continue playing in DeFi, and they can also share in the fee profits. The protocol will repurchase IR tokens for dividends. The team raised 18.75 million USD in financing, with investments from Binance Labs, YZi Labs, and Hack VC. There are 18 full-time employees from major companies such as Kraken, Manifold, and NASA. The CEO, named Raito, has 44,000 followers on Twitter. The community engagement is decent; the official Twitter announced the airdrop on December 13th with 460,000 views, but the specific interaction numbers are average, possibly because everyone is quietly preparing to claim the tokens. The Robinhood event replay posted in the early morning of December 17th actually garnered 6.17 million views. Berachain itself is an EVM-compatible L1 that binds liquidity and verification nodes together using the PoL consensus mechanism. As a core infrastructure, the value of the IR token will depend on its ability to continuously attract TVL and share profits.
