Infrared (IRED): Berachain’s PoL-Enabled Liquid Staking Protocol
Infrared is a Layer 1 blockchain operating as a liquid staking protocol atop the Berachain network. Essentially, Infrared is designed to complement Berachain's Proof of Liquidity consensus mechanism by allowing sovereign protocols, chains, and applications to deploy and utilize liquid staking infrastructure on the greater Berachain network. To enable this serviceability, Infrared allows its users to deposit two individual liquid staking tokens called iBGT and iBERA (which are pegged 1:1 to Berachain’s BGT and BERA assets) into Infrared liquidity pools. Like Berachain, Infrared’s use of Proof of Liquidity allows the network and its connected protocols to make use of a synergistic flywheel effect that allows all network participants to benefit from one another. For these reasons and others, Infrared holds a strong position as an aggregator for staking and governance atop the Berachain network. If its current trajectory is any indication, Infrared is well on its way to becoming a foundational liquid staking platform within the all-encompassing Berachain ecosystem.

Berachain (BERA): Unboxing Berachain’s Newly-Released V2 Protocol
After Berachain’s V1 incentivized testnet campaign experienced performance bottlenecks because of the massive inflow of users utilizing the platform’s various DeFi primitives, it became clear that a change was needed. The main issue was that the increased traffic meant that the chain’s mempool struggled to keep up with the growing demand for blockspace. This issue was directly related to the Polaris Virtual Machine’s inability to keep up with the volume of transactions on the network because of execution and consensus challenges. As a solution to Polaris’ inefficiencies, the team introduce Berachain V2 constituting a modular EVM development toolkit called BeaconKit that would allow developers to build any type of EVM L1 or L2 by separating consensus and execution via the introduction of single-slot (instant) finality that was much faster than its predecessor.
