Recently, @InfraredFinance has released a lot of progress, but two of them are of great significance to holders and the future direction of Bearchain, and I recommend that you pay attention to them These two are the update of the Infrared ecosystem page and the upgrade of v1.5 version, and I will explain them in detail for you next 1️⃣ Ecological layout: the future of strong alliances Infrared has launched a new ecosystem page ( This ecology basically covers all the ecological head projects of Berachain, covering the Defi ecological track from lending and Dex, which shows how good Infrared's resources are For the long-term positive feedback of this ecological cooperation on ecological projects including Berachain and Infrared, you can observe how to use this ecological relationship to maximize the benefits of the project and users in the future 2️⃣V1.5 algorithm upgrade: double improvement of efficiency and revenue The launch of Infrared v1.5 is a milestone in its technological advancement, with a focus on optimizing efficiency and user experience 1. The core optimization functions of version 1.5 this time 1) Support delegation through minting operators, enabling users to mint iBGT from non-staked deposits such as Bullish v2 and other vaults 2) The auction process is now executed entirely through an automated internal gatekeeper system to minimize slippage on incentive tokens associated with iBGT rewards 2. Why is it necessary to innovate this algorithm? There are two main reasons for this Reduced returns due to inflation: On Berachain, BGT can be obtained by staking BERA tokens, but as the amount of staking increases, the rewards gradually decrease, resulting in potential earnings being wasted Each validator has an optimal yield point: Each validator has a peak yield point, and Infrared's algorithm is designed to adjust the yield of all stakers to this optimal position 3. Algorithm workflow: 1) Data collection: Collect on-chain data, reward vault status, and Berachain-related information from all validators 2) Yield calculation: Determine the best BGT position for each validator through off-chain calculations to maximize Infrared's earnings 3) Reward distribution: Adjust the "Cutting Board" reward vault data according to the goal, and accurately map it for each Infrared validator 4) On-chain execution: Optimize data is pushed to the chain through smart contracts, updating validator settings and reward distribution The algorithm reviews each validator individually, whether internal or external, to ensure that the benefits (such as gross revenue and bribery income) are optimal. At the same time, it maximizes iBGT output while avoiding diminishing returns on the emission curve 4. How the income is distributed and the data situation Infrared algorithmically optimizes the distribution of BGT rewards, cutting the share of inefficient validators and redistributing resources to the best performing validators. This mechanism ensures that each BGT is used efficiently, increasing the overall revenue of the protocol. Before the launch of PoL, the focus is on maximizing the iBGT staking ratio; After launch, it turns to accepting high bribes and top validators Since the introduction of external validator support in v1.4, the decentralization and efficiency of the system have been significantly improved. The data shows that bribery fees have increased by 27%, capturing 68% of potential incentives, and the annualized yield (APY) of iBGT staking has stabilized at more than 200%. This performance undoubtedly provides objective rewards for users 🤔 Personal reflection The iteration of the v1.5 version of the algorithm effectively drives the "flywheel effect": The more effective the BGT distribution, the higher ➡️ the annualized rate of return of the protocol Higher APR attracts more users ➡️ More users bring more liquidity ➡️ More liquidity is deposited in the incentive ➡️ vault The incentive vault will release more iBGT This positive flywheel not only reduces wasted revenue, but also provides new partners with the opportunity to allocate BGT to achieve optimal performance I look forward to the algorithm continuing to iterate according to the actual situation, and the APY is more than 200%, which is really fragrant
