Infrared provides the infrastructure layer for Berachain's Proof of Liquidity ecosystem. Its product suite includes iBGT and iBERA liquid staking derivatives, the siBGT fee-generating product, sIR auto-compounding staking positions, automated PoL vaults for users and protocols, and validator infrastructure.
Liquid Staking Derivatives: iBGT and iBERA are liquid staking derivatives that let users participate in staking while retaining a liquid representation of their position.
Fee Generation and Auto-Compounding: The IR token system contains two primary sets of vaults, one for users and another for protocols. The user portion focuses on fee generation, directing fees from Infrared's siBGT product back towards stakers. These fees are used to buy back and distribute IR tokens, auto-compounding within each sIR holder's position.
Automated PoL Vaults: Infrared offers automated PoL vaults for users and protocols, alongside validator infrastructure, forming the backbone of the chain's yield and governance economy.
Infrared's value proposition is tied to its role as core infrastructure for Berachain's Proof of Liquidity ecosystem. The project combines liquid staking derivatives, fee-generating vaults, and automated PoL vaults into a single infrastructure layer. Fees from the siBGT product are directed back to stakers, used to buy back and distribute IR, and auto-compound within each sIR holder's position. According to Infrared's official documentation (infrared.finance/docs/tokens), IR is used within the project's vault system in this way.
