1/ Infrared - The Eldest Son of the Bear Chain

Infrared is a DeFi platform built around the Berachain PoL mechanism, achieving efficient value capture through BGT and BERA liquid staking solutions, node infrastructure, and PoL treasury.

It can be said that Infrared is the current flagship of Bear Chain DeFi:

First, Infrared has a TVL of $840 million, ranking first on Bear Chain;

Second, the total amount raised after Infrared's three rounds of financing reached $18.75 million, with investors including Framework Ventures, YZi Labs, Hack VC, etc. Among them, Framework Ventures, the lead investor for Infrared's Series A, is also a lead investor in Bear Chain, providing strong support;

Third, Infrared is also one of the first projects in the Berachain Foundation's “Build-A-Bera” incubator.

2/ Q3 TGE (Expected)

In April 2025, Infrared will launch a points program. In an interview with The Block, the founder revealed the following information:

First, the points program is expected to last for 3 months;

Second, Infrared plans to complete the TGE in Q3 2025;

Third, there will be airdrops.

The question arises, how much valuation would you give to the flagship of Bear Chain?

3/ Recent Important Update - Infrared v1.5

In June 2025, Infrared will launch the v1.5 upgrade!

Important updates introduced in this upgrade include:

Allowing users to mint iBGT through Berachain's operator function, facilitating users to directly use their earnings to mint $iBGT;

The internal reward auction mechanism of Infrared has been upgraded to an automated keeper system, significantly reducing slippage during the auction process;

By using on-chain data and profit models, dynamically calculating the optimal Boost range for each validator, and automatically allocating tokens to the pools with the highest returns.

In summary: Less user friction, higher returns 👉 more users 👉 faster protocol positive flywheel!

Updates and iterations in the underlying design of the protocol will not bring short-term FOMO and speculation, but are key to whether a platform can operate stably in the long term. I am very optimistic about teams like Infrared that focus on first principles and can continuously deliver iterative products.
