[PRESS RELEASE – Singapore, Singapore, April 2nd, 2025]
StaFi has announced the next phase of its development strategy with the launch of Revamp Wave 2, introducing “Staking AI Finance” as part of the protocol’s ongoing evolution from liquid staking infrastructure to AI-integrated services.
Transition to Staking AI Finance
This phase represents a strategic expansion of StaFi’s service offerings, moving from its initial focus on Staking Finance to the incorporation of artificial intelligence into its liquid staking architecture. This development aims to bolster AI-native applications within the staking ecosystem.
Protocol Background and Achievements
Since its inception, StaFi has concentrated on addressing liquidity challenges within proof-of-stake (PoS) networks using liquid staking tokens (LSTs). To date, the protocol has successfully introduced multiple LSTs, including rETH, rMATIC, rBNB, and rATOM, all designed to provide staking utility while maintaining liquidity.
Key performance highlights include:
- Peaking at approximately $34 million in staked ETH via the rETH product.
- Managing 554 validators through its validator matching system.
- Achieving a total value locked (TVL) of $100 million across the ecosystem.
StaFi 2.0 and LSaaS
The StaFi 2.0 upgrade introduced Liquid Staking as a Service (LSaaS), a framework enabling developers to create custom LSTs and Liquid Re-staking Tokens (LRTs). This infrastructure provides tools across various blockchain ecosystems, including:
- ETH LSD Stack
- EVM-based networks (SEI, BNB)
- LRT platforms (EigenLayer, Karak)
- BTC-based LSD (Babylon)
- Cosmos and Solana ecosystems
Ecosystem Collaborations
In a bid to enhance interoperability and development capabilities, StaFi has formed partnerships with:
- Chainlink for CCIP integration.
- Everclear for cross-chain interoperability.
- zkMe for zero-knowledge proof applications.
- Vouch for vPLS deployment on the ETH LSD stack.
These collaborations are aimed at extending StaFi’s role in creating cross-functional tools for staking infrastructure.
AI Integration Initiatives
As a part of its transition to Staking AI Finance, StaFi is developing several AI-focused applications, including:
- Staking Code Agent: A tool designed to generate blockchain code using natural language based on StaFi’s existing LSaaS architecture.
- Staking Assistant Agent: A language-based interface that facilitates yield optimization and staking execution through conversational input.
Both tools leverage large language models (LLMs) to reduce technical barriers for developers and end-users, thus supporting broader adoption of staking technologies.
Outlook
StaFi’s strategic direction underscores a growing trend towards integrating AI capabilities within blockchain protocols. Further developments concerning the deployment of StaFi’s AI agents are anticipated in the upcoming weeks.
About StaFi Protocol
StaFi is a protocol offering Liquid Staking as a Service (LSaaS) for PoS networks, enabling the creation of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) and Liquid Re-staking Tokens (LRTs) across ecosystems that include Ethereum, EVM-compatible chains, Bitcoin, Cosmos, and Solana. The protocol issues rTokens (e.g., rETH, rBNB) to provide staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity.
