sIR
Key properties summary
Token: sIR Underlying asset: IR Standard: ERC4626 Yield type: Auto-compounding (share price) Withdrawal delay: Fixed (default 7 days) Rebasing: No
Overview
sIR is Infrared’s staking receipt token for IR.
When users stake IR into the Infrared staking contract, they receive sIR, which represents their proportional ownership of the staking vault. sIR accrues value over time as protocol revenue is converted into IR and added to the vault.
sIR is implemented via StakedIR, an ERC4626 based vault with a fixed withdrawal delay.
sIR is not a rebasing token. Yield accrues through share price appreciation, not balance changes.
How sIR works
Staking IR
- Users deposit IR into the StakedIR vault
- The vault mints sIR at the current share price
- sIR represents a claim on a proportional share of the vault
On-chain action
deposit(IR_amount, receiver)Yield & rewards
Protocol revenue is converted into IR by Infrared
- Converted IR is added to the vault’s total assets
- No new sIR is minted
- Yield increases the IR-per-sIR share price
This means:
Your sIR balance stays the same, but each sIR becomes redeemable for more IR over time.
Unstaking & withdrawals
Infrared uses a delayed withdrawal model to ensure predictable settlement and protocol safety. User requests withdrawal sIR is burned immediately
A withdrawal ticket is created containing:
- Fixed IR amount
- Unlock timestamp (seven days cooldown)
- Receiver address
Once unlocked, IR becomes claimable
This model ensures:
- Clear expectations on liquidity
- No surprise slashing or variable delays
- On-chain reservation of funds
Why sIR wxists
sIR aligns long-term IR holders with protocol health by:
- Rewarding participation via protocol revenue
- Providing transparent, non-inflationary yield mechanics
- Avoiding complex per-user reward accounting
