Infrared Finance's December 24, 2025, announcements—live Rewards Vault, January native staking with buybacks, and Q1 Dutch auctions—bolster $IR utility and Berachain activity through PoL rewards and revenue sharing.

The Berachain liquid staking protocol Infrared has announced its roadmap for 2026, launching the IR rewards vault and supporting the USDT0-IR and IR-WBERA trading pair staking. In January next year, native IR staking will be introduced, allowing users to stake IR in exchange for sIR and earn returns through protocol revenue buybacks. A Dutch auction system will be launched in Q1, enabling third-party protocols to use IR to bid for BGT emission rights.

Infrared Finance, a leading liquidity staking protocol based on Berachain, is about to reach a key milestone. Its native token IR has confirmed to have an exclusive TGE (Token Generation Event) on December 17, 2025, through Binance Wallet. The project aims to solve the complexity of Berachain's unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism with innovative iBGT and iBERA solutions, enabling users to "stake without locking." Previously, Infrared has raised a total of $18.75 million, with investors including Framework Ventures, Binance Labs, and other institutions, demonstrating strong market expectations for its role as a core infrastructure in the Berachain ecosystem.
