How to buy Infrared (IR) safely

Infrared (IR) is an infrastructure layer for Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity (PoL) ecosystem. It operates on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) and Bera Chain. The project provides liquid staking, validator infrastructure, and automated PoL vaults to manage yield and governance.

Where can you buy IR?

IR is available on several centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms. You can find IR/USDT pairs on BitMart, HTX, CRMClick, WEEX, MEXC, Hibt, KuCoin, Bitget, Binance Alpha, Gate, KCEX, Ourbit, Toobit, Biconomy.com, Cofinex, and Blynex.

For those using Euros, Kraken offers an IR/EUR pair. Decentralized options include PancakeSwap Infinity CLAMM and Kodiak v3.

Step-by-step buying checklist

First, confirm the correct token contract. IR exists on both the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) and Bera Chain. Using the wrong address or network can lead to a total loss of funds.

Second, check the KYC requirements of your chosen exchange. Some platforms require identity verification before you can trade.

Third, verify if your country is supported. For example, MEXC and WEEX have specific banned country lists.

Finally, ensure you have a compatible wallet for the network you are using.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading fees vary by platform. MEXC and WEEX list 0% trading fees for IR. BitMart has a fee of 0.25%.

Liquidity is available across the listed market pairs. You should check the order book for your specific trade size to avoid slippage.

Deposit and withdrawal support for IR is not verified for these routes.

Before buying: route and token risks

The primary risk is contract confusion. Always verify the contract address through the official website or the official explorer. Sending tokens to an unverified address is a common mistake.

Another risk is the lack of verified withdrawal support. You may be able to buy the token on an exchange but find you cannot move it to a private wallet.

Lastly, be aware that exchange features and account access change based on your region.
