Infrared Finance (IR)

Infrared Finance is the leading DeFi infrastructure on Berachain, with over $1.6B in TVL, according to DeFiLlama. It aims to enhance user DeFi experience and facilitate the growth of the Berachain ecosystem by offering multiple liquid staking solutions and vaults. This includes:

• $iBGT LST

The most outstanding and innovative feature of Infrared Finance. $iBGT is a liquid staking token of the $BGT governance coin on Berachain, which is by its design untransferrable, thus has no value on the market. 

However, now with the Infrared Finance Berachain protocol approach of liquid staking token $iBGT, backed 1:1 to real $BGT, is fully tradable and allows you to earn an additional yield since $BGT is given to every liquidity provider on the network. As of April 2025, the $iBGT LST possesses over $40M in market capitalization, entering the top 650 among all cryptocurrencies by this metric.

• $iBERA LST

A liquid staking token of the Berachain’s gas token - $BERA. It enables users to earn yield from staking on Berachain while still having access to their funds through LST initially tethered to $BERA in a 1:1 ratio. Similarly to other LSTs, as time progresses and Berachain pays staking rewards, the $iBERA will be growing in value proportionally to the yield Berachain Infrared Finance earned from L1.

• Vaults

A set of optimized smart contracts designed to streamline the DeFi farming experience within the PoL blockchain. It gathers multiple Berachain LPs within a single interface while automatically delegating the LP tokens to Berachain PoL. 

What’s more, Infrared Finance automatically grants liquidity providers an $iBGT token at a 1:1 ratio with BGT, allowing them to utilize those tokens across multiple other DeFi protocols.
