Q: What do I receive after staking IR?

After depositing IR into the sIR vault, users receive sIR; it is a receipt for a share of that vault, rather than an additional IR reward. Holders participate in the corresponding governance arrangements through sIR and have pro rata redemption rights to the IR in the vault. Accordingly, the key change after staking is that IR that could originally be transferred directly is locked in the vault, while users hold sIR representing vault shares. sIR and IR should not be confused; the former's value depends on its corresponding vault share, and users must exchange it back for IR through the redemption process when exiting.

Q: How does sIR accumulate value?

sIR accumulates value through its share price, rather than through a continuous issuance of additional sIR to holders' wallets. Protocol revenue is converted into IR and enters the sIR vault; because no additional sIR is minted for this revenue, the amount of vault IR corresponding to each sIR can increase. The redemption value per sIR can be understood as “IR held by the vault ÷ issued sIR shares.” When vault IR increases and the number of shares does not increase in tandem because of that revenue, this ratio rises; this is not equivalent to guaranteed returns, and actual value still depends on vault assets and protocol operations.

Q: How long does unstaking take?

Unstaking sIR has a fixed seven-day waiting period. When a user initiates a withdrawal, the system burns sIR and creates a withdrawal receipt that records a fixed amount of IR and an unlock time; the user can claim the IR with that receipt only after the seven days have elapsed. The waiting period separates “submitting an exit” from “being able to receive IR” into two stages: after submission, the user no longer holds the corresponding sIR share, but cannot claim that IR before maturity. Therefore, users should incorporate these seven days into their timing when planning to use or transfer IR.

Q: How are IR issuance and unlocks arranged?

IR has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, but the total does not equal the amount freely usable or tradable at any given time. Ecosystem and treasury allocations unlock 20% at launch, with the remainder unlocking linearly over 24 months. Allocations for core contributors, investors, and the Bera Foundation first undergo a one-year lock-up period, after which 10% unlocks, and the remainder then unlocks linearly over 24 months. The lock-up period determines when these categories first become available, while subsequent linear unlocking gradually releases the remaining supply over time; the specific circulating amount is also affected by factors such as whether tokens actually enter the market.

Why Did Infrared (IR) Rise in the Last 24 Hours?

IR’s order-book snapshot showed a top-five-level bid-to-ask depth ratio of 0.13, with ask depth about 7.8 times bid depth, indicating a concentration of sell orders in that snapshot; a single book snapshot does not reveal trader intent. During the candlestick interval ending at 16:00 UTC on 2026-11-09, about 2.228 million tokens were traded, worth roughly $4,800 at the time. This limited trading size means relatively small trades could produce noticeable fluctuations. Technical signals were mixed: the 4-hour and daily RSI readings were oversold, while the 1-hour moving averages were bearish and ADX was 38.61. The combined signal was neutral and does not confirm either a rebound or continued decline.
