Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact

How will this pool benefit Berachain and BEX?: iBERA allows users to stake BERA tokens in Infrared vaults while retaining liquidity through liquid staking. This increases the total BERA staked in the network, securing the chain while allowing users to continue participating in DeFi activities with their iBERA.

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

Update
We’d like to amend the incentive/bribe token from wBERA to iBGT.

This change aligns better with Infrared’s incentive design, as iBGT is the native reward token for our vaults and is purpose-built for driving gauge incentives.

Updated Incentive Token Whitelist: iBGT
