"BTCS & Figment Team Up to Revolutionize Staking with 'Staker Protection Plan'"

BTCS Inc., a leading blockchain infrastructure and technology company, has announced a strategic partnership with Figment Inc., a prominent blockchain infrastructure provider, to launch its Staker Protection Plan. This innovative solution aims to enhance transaction inclusion and state preservation, addressing critical pain points for traders and end-users who demand greater certainty for their high-value and time-sensitive transactions.

The partnership, which underscores BTCS and Figment's shared commitment to advancing the blockchain ecosystem, will see WonderFi Technologies Inc., a top digital asset company, join as Figment's first customer in the pilot program. Stakers on the WonderFi-owned Bitbuy and Coinsquare platforms will be the first to benefit from the program, with the pilot program anticipated to go live on mainnet in March 2025 in connection with Ethereum's Pectra update.

The Staker Protection Plan program is designed to deliver key benefits, including:

• Providing end-users with greater confidence that their transactions will be included in a particular block.
• Addressing complexities and heightened risks of high-value transactions in cross-chain and cross-venue operations, ensuring timely and predictable trading outcomes.
• Optimizing staking rewards rate (SRR) for stakers through improved compliance and performance.

Stakers interested in participating in this solution, which is designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements and benefit from increased SRR, can contact Figment's customer success team. End-users seeking information about transaction execution and enhanced features can reach out to the BTCS team for more information.

Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS, stated: "By partnering with Figment and integrating WonderFi as the first participant, we are laying a strong foundation for staker empowerment and ecosystem growth. This partnership exemplifies our dedication to delivering solutions that foster revenue growth and operational excellence."

Lorien Gabel, CEO of Figment, added: "At Figment, we are committed to driving innovation in blockchain infrastructure to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem and increase adoption. Our partnership with BTCS on this innovative solution demonstrates our dedication to addressing critical challenges in staking operations. By providing solutions that ensure fairness and enhance transaction inclusion, we are fostering a more reliable and fair network for all participants."
