Liquidity Giants in the Berachain Ecosystem: Introduction to Infrared Finance and Points Program Guide

Berachain has recently performed impressively in the public chain DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) rankings, rising to 7th place and surpassing several well-known public chains. In the Berachain ecosystem, Infrared Finance, as the project ranked first in TVL, has attracted widespread attention.

Infrared Finance is a protocol focused on Liquidity staking, which launched a points program on April 23. These points can be redeemed for Infrared's native token in the future, with the specific exchange rate to be announced before the Token Generation Event (TGE). According to data platforms, Infrared currently has locked assets exceeding $1.5 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of Berachain's overall DeFi TVL.

Infrared raised $18.75 million through the Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT), gaining support from several well-known investment institutions.

The following are the specific steps to participate in the Infrared points program:

Preparation Work

1. Prepare a cryptocurrency wallet that supports the Berachain network and ensure it is connected to the Berachain mainnet.

2. Prepare the necessary tokens:

   • $BERA (for staking or providing Liquidity)
   • $BGT (Berachain Governance Token, used for staking)
   • A small amount of $BERA is used to pay transaction fees

3. Visit the Infrared Finance official website.

Step 1: Connect Wallet and Check Points

1. Connect your wallet on the Infrared Finance official website and switch to the Berachain network.
2. Navigate to the Points page and check if there are any backtracked points (for users who participated in the designated pool before March 21, 2025).

Step 2: Earn points by staking or providing Liquidity

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

• Staking $iBGT:

1. Find the staking option on the iBGT page.
2. Enter the $iBGT amount and confirm the transaction.

• Staking $BERA:

1. Find the $BERA staking option on the iBERA page.
2. Enter the $BERA amount and confirm the transaction.

After the staking is completed, you will receive $iBERA, and the points will be automatically accumulated.

Option 2: Provide Liquidity through the Treasury

1. Enter the Vaults tab on the Infrared main page.
2. Choose a PoL vault that supports points, it is recommended to select a vault with a high point multiple, 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 for staking, enter the quantity of LP tokens and confirm the transaction.
4. After the staking is completed, you will start earning rewards and automatically accumulate points.
5. You can view your personal portfolio in portfolio.

Note: Providing Liquidity directly to the old pool no longer earns points; it must be done through the Infrared vault operation.

Step 3: Monitor Points

1. Click on the Points tab on the Infrared main page.
2. Check the points balance and accumulation speed.
3. The points will automatically increase based on the staking duration and the vault multiplier.

Notes

• Prioritize high-multiplication vaults to maximize points收益.
• Make sure there is enough $BERA in the wallet to pay for transaction fees.
• Please assess market risks and smart contract risks before participating.

Summary

By staking $BGT/$BERA or providing Liquidity to Infrared's PoL treasury, users can participate in the Infrared Points program and automatically accumulate points. This program has just launched, and the project is expected to conduct TGE in the third quarter, which is worth keeping an eye on.
