Introducing IR
The Infrared token (IR) is live
The Infrared token (IR) is now live. Onchain airdrop claims are available on the Infrared website, and the token is trading on multiple centralized exchanges.
You can start the claim process here.
This announcement covers what the IR token is, where to claim your airdrop, where the token is tradable, and what’s coming next.
What is the IR token?
The IR token is the native token of the Infrared protocol. It is designed to provide the community with governance rights, distribute protocol revenue, and support the long-term growth, and expansion, of Infrared.
The token has several core functions that will be rolled out in the coming weeks. Users will be able to stake IR to receive sIR, which grants voting power on protocol decisions and a share of protocol fees.
A portion of protocol fees will flow to the Red Fund, which buys back IR tokens to fund community initiatives and incentives.
These mechanisms, along with others, will progressively rolled out in the near future.
Tokenomics
We have designed the IR tokenomics to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Infrared protocol.
The total supply of IR is 1,000,000,000, with the following allocation:
The ecosystem and treasury allocation has a 20% unlock at TGE with a linear vest over 24 months.
The core contributors, investors, and the Bera Foundation have a one-year cliff before a 10% unlock, followed by a 24-month linear vest.
Build-a-Bera have committed to holding their allocation indefinitely.
The airdrop is fully liquid at TGE.
Claiming your airdrop
Onchain airdrop claims are now live on the Infrared website. Users who participated in the centralized exchange (CEX) pre-deposits through Bitget, Gate, or KuCoin should check their exchange accounts, where their IR tokens have been deposited.
Users who did not participate in the CEX pre-deposits can claim their tokens directly on the Infrared website.
All airdrop claims will permanently close on January 1, 2026, at 00:00 UTC. Any tokens not claimed by this deadline cannot be recovered.
Trading and what's next
The IR token is now available for trading on several exchanges including Binance, Bitmart, Huobi (HTX), MEXC, Ourbit, and Biconomy.
If you're trading on Berachain, IR is live on Kodiak and Charm:
In the coming weeks, we will be rolling out additional features, including staking, which will allow sIR holders to earn a share of protocol fees and participate in governance.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build out the future of Infrared.
