Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact
How will this pool benefit Berachain and BEX?: iBGT simplifies managing BGT by allowing holders to buy, sell, and use it freely across Berachain, unlike non-transferable BGT. Validators benefit from additional staking and liquidity, increasing their chances of inclusion in the active set and earning rewards.By providing easy-to-use staking solutions with iBERA and additional yield with iBGT, more users are likely to adopt Berachain.
Will it deepen liquidity for a major ecosystem token (e.g., BERA, core stable asset)?: Yes
Does it enable important trading pairs that drive adoption or integrate with other Berachain projects?: Yes
Provide metrics or estimates on liquidity you expect to attract.: Pool will be supporting already existing TVL hence the issuance of the mentioned assets via deep liquidity. Moreover, Infrared Finance will further incentivise the liquidity providers by enabling Infrared Vaults, with potential additional incentives on day 0. Short term(weeks) expectation is 5M+ TVL.
Highlight any known liquidity commitments.: Team has been provisioning 1M USD worth of liquidity
Will this pool feed into any yield aggregators, lending markets, or liquid staking derivatives on Berachain?: As mentioned above the initial commitment comes from the Infrared Finance Team by providing PoL vaults for the mentioned assets on day 0. Furthermore, we have commitments from lending markets.
Are there plans to co-market with another project to bootstrap liquidity?: Kodiak, Beefy (& other autocompounders), Beraborrow
How could this reward vault evolve over time?: Native Infrared Finance protocol boosted incentives on this pool will increase over time. As the number one protocol by TVL on Berachain, Infrared Finance has strong connections & ever evolving plans with the ecosystem partners. Furthermore, iBGT being key assets on the chain, deep liquidity and incentivisation to do so is essential for the future.
