As reported by TechFlow, on December 14, 2025, Berachain's liquid staking protocol Infrared announced details of its IR token airdrop. The airdrop targets early community members, participants in the Boyco pre-deposit campaign, and users who engaged in community activities. Users can pre-claim the airdrop via centralized exchange pre-deposit processes, which ran from December 13, 12:00 UTC to December 15, 17:00 UTC. Users must initiate the process on the Infrared website by selecting an exchange and submitting their user ID. The IR token serves three main functions: staking to earn sIR for governance voting rights, yield sharing through a buyback mechanism where a portion of protocol fees flows into the 'Red Fund' for IR token buybacks, and token issuance to optimize protocol efficiency and revenue. Key dates include the IR token launch on December 17, 8:00 UTC, and the permanent closure of all claims on January 12, 2026, 00:00 UTC. Non-exchange claims will open on the token genesis event day. Previously, Infrared, the first liquid staking protocol in the Berachain ecosystem, completed a $14 million Series A funding round led by Framework Ventures.
