pSTAKE Announcements

Happy New Year from PSTAKE

As we step into the new year, we’re energized by what lies ahead deeper research, smarter modular systems, and AI-native primitives built for real adoption.

Thank you to our community, builders, and partners for shaping this journey with us.

The next chapter of onchain intelligence is just getting started.

Here’s to a year of innovation, coordination, and meaningful progress

— PSTAKE

🎄 Season’s Greetings from the pSTAKE Team 🎄

As the year comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our community, partners, and builders for your continued support and belief in pSTAKE.

This year marked an important chapter in our journey, evolving beyond staking into AI-native research labs designed for real-world adoption.

None of this progress would be possible without your trust, feedback, and collaboration.

May this festive season bring you peace, joy, and renewed energy for the year ahead.

We look forward to building, researching, and innovating together as we shape the future of onchain intelligence and decentralized finance.

🎁 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at pSTAKE!

‼️ Final Notice: Liquid Staking Deprecation

This is the last announcement regarding pSTAKE’s legacy liquid staking products.

pSTAKE began by advancing BTCFi.
But the data revealed something bigger.

From financial primitives → intelligent systems.
From staking mechanics → AI research.

Today, pSTAKE has evolved into an AI Research & Development Lab, researching on models that see, listen, and understand.

🚀 We’re LIVE!

Join us right now for our deep-dive AMA with Gatsby & the pSTAKE team.

We’re unpacking our new direction, research focus, and what this evolution means for the community happening live as we speak.

stkBNB Deprecation – Final Reminder

pSTAKE continues winding down its legacy liquid staking products. This update focuses on stkBNB, which still holds some liquidity across DeFi. 👇

• PancakeSwap (V2, V3 & StableSwap)
• Wombat Exchange
• Thena (Algebra & Bribe)
• Venus
• Dibis, DSG, Compound, V-Treasury

If you hold LP tokens or stkBNB assets on these platforms, please withdraw and redeem before the deadline.

⏳ Deadline: 31 Dec 2025
After this date:
