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 & iBERA being key assets on the chain, deep liquidity and incentivisation to do so is essential for the future.

Hi team, at the time of submission, the following concerns were identified:

  • Number of staking token holders is below the minimum threshold (Minimum over 100 Holders)
  • Pool liquidity is below minimum required threshold (Minimum of USD 100,000)
  • Please provide a detailed breakdown of the incentive duration on a weekly or monthly basis.

Please note that the following feedback doesn’t represent the opinions of the BGT Foundation. It is contextual feedback from the Bera ecosystem team with respect to publicly stated guidelines.

With the following changes implemented, this application should be a better candidate for a Reward Vault.

Thanks for the feedback we’ll make sure both the liquidity and user requirements are fully met beforehand and reply with an update as the requirements are met.

  • Please provide a detailed breakdown of the incentive duration on a weekly or monthly basis.

To kick things off we’re planning to allocate $10K notional in daily bribes (in iBERA, iBGT, or a mix of both) over a minimum period of 3 month. We’ll plan to adjust based on the growth and traction of the pool.

Hello,

update addressing the concerns mentioned(at the time of the comment):

  • Pool TVL: 112.1k USD
  • Number of holders: 104
