Berachain has risen to the 7th position in the total locked value (TVL) ranking of public chain DeFi, surpassing Base, Arbitrum, and Sui, occupying an important position in the DeFi ecosystem. Today, we introduce Infrared, the project ranked first in Berachain TVL.

Infrared Finance is a liquidity staking protocol within the Berachain ecosystem and launched the Infrared Points program on April 23. The points can ultimately be exchanged for Infrared's native token, which will be launched in Q3, with the exact exchange rate to be announced closer to the TGE. According to DeFiLlama, the Infrared protocol is incubated by the Build-a-Bera program of the Berachain Foundation and currently leads the Berachain ecosystem in total locked value (TVL), with assets exceeding $1.5 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of Berachain's overall DeFi TVL.

So far, Infrared has raised a total of $18.75 million through a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT) and has received support from well-known investors such as YZi Labs, Framework Ventures, and NGC Ventures.

Here are the specific participation steps:

Prerequisites

1. Prepare a cryptocurrency wallet:

• Use a wallet that supports the Berachain network (e.g., OKX Wallet).

• Ensure the wallet is connected to the Berachain mainnet.

2. Hold relevant tokens (which can be purchased from exchanges like Binance or swapped on-chain):

• You need $BERA (Berachain native token) or $BGT (Berachain governance token) to stake or provide liquidity.

• Prepare a small amount of $BERA to pay for transaction gas fees (the gas fees on Berachain are very low).

3. Access the Infrared Finance official website:

• Open your browser and go to the Infrared Finance official website -> https://infrared.finance/

Step 1: Connect Wallet and View Points Page

1. Visit the Infrared Finance official website, click the "Connect Wallet" button in the upper right corner, connect your wallet, switch to the Berachain chain, then navigate to the Points page to check if you have any retroactive points (if you participated in designated pools before March 21, 2025, you may have automatically received points).

Step 2: Earn Points by Staking or Providing Liquidity

According to the mechanism, points are automatically accumulated in the following ways, and you can choose the method that suits you:

Option 1: Stake $iBGT or $BERA to Earn $iBERA

1. If you already have $iBGT, you can stake it to earn $iBERA:

• On the iBGT page, find the $iBGT staking option.

• Enter the amount of $iBGT and confirm the transaction.

2. If you hold $BERA, you can stake it to earn $iBERA:

• On the iBERA page, find the $BERA staking option.

• Enter the amount of $BERA and confirm the transaction.

• After staking is complete, you will receive $iBERA, and points will automatically accumulate.

Option 2: Provide Liquidity through the Vault (Replacing Old Pools)

Provide liquidity for major trading pairs on decentralized exchanges like Kodiak and BEX through the vault, as well as stake iBGT and iBERA (Infrared's liquidity staking tokens). The longer users stake or provide liquidity on this protocol, the more points they earn. Users can deposit LP tokens or other qualified assets (such as HONEY-USDC LP from BEX) to earn related rewards.

1. On the Infrared main page, find the Vaults tab and click to enter.

2. Choose a PoL vault (Proof of Liquidity Vault) that supports points, preferably one with a high points multiplier, such as:

• WBERA-iBGT Kodiak LP Vault (1.375x points multiplier)

• WBERA-iBERA Kodiak LP Vault (1.375x points multiplier)

• WBERA-iBERA BEX LP Vault (1.375x points multiplier)

3. Select the target vault to stake, enter the amount of WBERA-iBERA LP tokens you want to stake, confirm the transaction, and pay the gas fee.

4. After staking is complete, you will start earning rewards while automatically accumulating Infrared Points (1.375x multiplier).

5. You can view your portfolio in the portfolio section.

Note: Providing liquidity directly to old pools (such as iBGT/WBERA on Kodiak) no longer earns points; it must be done through Infrared's vault operations. If you provided liquidity to the following pools before March 21, 2025, you may already have retroactive points:

• iBGT/WBERA on Kodiak

• iBERA/WBERA on Kodiak

• iBERA/BERA on BEX (StableSwap)

Step 3: Continuously Monitor Your Points

1. Return to the Infrared main page and click the Points tab.

2. Check your points balance and accumulation rate.

3. Points will automatically grow based on staking time and vault multiplier (e.g., 1.375x) without any additional operations.

Important Notes

• Prioritize high-multiplier vaults: such as WBERA-iBGT Kodiak LP Vault (1.375x) to maximize point earnings.

• Gas fees: Ensure you have enough $BERA in your wallet to pay for transaction fees.

• Risk Warning: Staking and providing liquidity carry market risks (such as impermanent loss) and smart contract risks; please assess reasonably before participating.

Summary

By staking $BGT/$BERA or providing liquidity proof LP to Infrared's PoL vault, you can easily participate in the Infrared Points program and automatically accumulate points. The points program has just begun, and the project is expected to have its TGE around Q3, so stay tuned.
