Infrared Finance serves as the foundational infrastructure for Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity (PoL) ecosystem. It provides liquid staking, validator services, and automated PoL vaults that support the chain’s yield and governance systems.

The protocol addresses key inefficiencies in PoL by generating liquidity for non-transferable tokens ($BGT and $BERA), streamlining yield aggregation, and enhancing validator efficiency. This allows users and protocols to obtain liquidity, governance rights, and yield with a single click, thereby improving capital efficiency and fostering ecosystem expansion.

To date, the platform has secured over $500M in Total Value Locked (TVL), reaching a peak of $1.7B, while serving more than 400K users and generating $118M in annualized gross revenue. Its backers include Framework Ventures, Binance Labs, Dao5, YZi Labs, and Hack VC.

Led by founders and engineers with DeFi experience from Berachain, Redacted, Manifold Finance, EY, Houlihan Lokey, Apple, and NASA, Infrared is positioned as a Tier-1 project in the infrastructure and yield aggregation sectors.
