[{"type":"text","content":"Validator participation expected to provide exposure to protocol-defined staking incentives and network-level yield dynamicsRedeployment of existing BERA holdings structured to align with protocol decentralization and custody standards BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 26, 2026 / Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (\"Greenlane\" or the \"Company\") (Nasdaq:GNLN), a company with a Berachain-focused digital asset treasury, today announced that it has partnered with Infrared Finance (\"Infrared\") to deploy up to 30 million units of BERA into validator infrastructure on the Berachain network1.Under the partnership, Infrared will operate validators on Berachain on behalf of Greenlane in accordance with Berachain's protocol rules, decentralization requirements, and validator participation framework.
