PANews reported on December 23 that Infrared, the liquid staking protocol of Berachain, announced several new features planned for its token IR. The IR Rewards Vault is now live, allowing users to earn PoL rewards on Berachain by staking IR LP tokens. Currently, it supports trading pairs such as USDT0-IR, IR-USDT0, IR-WBERA, and WBERA-IR. The official plan is to launch native IR staking functionality in January 2026, allowing users to stake IR to obtain sIR and earn rewards through protocol revenue. The protocol will provide rewards to long-term holders through a buyback mechanism.
Furthermore, Infrared plans to launch a Dutch auction system in the first quarter of 2026, allowing third-party protocols to bid for BGT emission rights using IR. Winning bids will be locked for one year for future protocol development. Infrared hopes to drive economic activity on the Berachain and increase the demand and value of IR through these mechanisms.
