Intellistake activates wallet, validator for FET staking

Ms. Alice Cherrington reports INTELLISTAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORP. ACTIVATES SECURE WALLET AND VALIDATOR INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT BLOCKCHAIN-BASED REVENUE OPERATIONS Intellistake Technologies Corp.'s institutional-grade self-custody wallet and validator infrastructure are now live. This milestone reflects Intellistake's transition into blockchain-based operations, with the largest infrastructure components now in place -- strengthening the foundation across its core business pillars. Key highlights: Secure wallet infrastructure live: Powered by Fireblocks through a partnership with Singularity Venture Hub, enabling institutional-grade self custody of digital assets. Validator node operational on Fetch.ai: Part of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), one of the largest AI digital asset ecosystems, with a combined market cap of approximately $1.66-billion (U.S.) and daily trading volume of $133-million (U.S.). Positioned to stake and support delegation: With infrastructure live, Intellistake is now ready to stake digital assets and support third-party delegation on the Fetch.ai network, where validators currently receive approx 6- to 8-per-cent APR (annual percentage returns) (current 6.83 per cent). The company anticipates earning an 8-per-cent service commission on yield generated through external staking activity. Institutional-ready infrastructure established: Enables Intellistake to offer institutional clients access to digital assets via secure, self-custodial wallets -- without requiring them to manage complex technical systems. "With our infrastructure now live, we've taken the first key step toward securely participating in blockchain networks," said Jason Dussault, chief executive officer of Intellistake. "We've established the operational capabilities to support validator activity, digital asset management and future growth in decentralized technologies." Intellistake's self-custody infrastructure was developed in collaboration with Singularity Venture Hub (SVH), leveraging Fireblocks -- a trusted institutional platform used by leading digital asset managers. The system incorporates advanced security features such as multiparty computation (MPC) and SGX-secured transfer environments, allowing Intellistake to store and manage digital assets in a fully segregated, non-custodial environment. This ensures that Intellistake and its enterprise partners retain full ownership and control over their digital assets at all times, with institutional-grade protection. "This is a critical foundation for any serious digital asset venture," said Alessandro Spano, chief operating officer of Singularity Venture Hub. "By launching both MPC-based self-custody infrastructure and becoming a node validator, Intellistake has addressed two of the most essential components of digital asset readiness. These systems are key to enabling secure asset control, protocol-level participation and future integration with institutional digital asset strategies." In addition to its wallet system, Intellistake has launched its validator node on the Fetch.ai (FET) network. Validator nodes help power decentralized networks by verifying and processing activity on the blockchain. In return for this work, network protocols issue staking yield -- a process where the operator is compensated for maintaining essential digital infrastructure. Fetch.ai is a blockchain-based artificial intelligence platform and a core asset of the ASI Alliance. With a market capitalization of approximately $1.66-billion (U.S.) and daily trading volume of $133-million (U.S.) -- making it one of only eight AI tokens globally to surpass the $1-billion (U.S.) mark and ranking in the top five for daily trading volume among AI-focused digital assets. With this validator node now operational, Intellistake is positioned to: Support its own digital asset operations by staking FET; Allow external FET token holders to delegate FET to its node; Facilitate blockchain network participation for enterprise clients. Staking yield is determined by the network and distributed to participants that contribute infrastructure. Fetch.ai validators currently receive approximately 6- to 8-per-cent annual yield; at this time, the estimated annual percentage returns is currently 6.83 per cent. However, APR depends on network activity and protocol conditions and are not guaranteed. When third party FET holders connect their tokens to Intellistake's node, the company anticipates earning a service commission of 8 per cent on the yield generated. Intellistake with its partners also has the infrastructure in place to support enterprise clients entering the blockchain ecosystem. The company can onboard institutions by facilitating secure, self-custodial wallets and connecting them to compliant blockchain infrastructure -- without requiring them to manage complex digital systems. These resources will provide institutions and partners with greater transparency into Intellistake's infrastructure and its role within decentralized AI networks. With its wallet and validator infrastructure fully operational, Intellistake is now equipped to support digital asset participation securely and at scale. A follow-up announcement will confirm the company's initial token acquisitions and validator-related activities as it moves forward with on-chain operations. Starting at 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025, third party FET token holders will be able to visit the company's website and delegate their FET tokens to the Intellistake validator. About Intellistake Technologies Corp. Intellistake has very recently completed the change of business transaction and is presently at an early stage of development. It has not yet acquired any digital assets, nor has it commenced validator and staking operations. It has also not yet developed any AI technology solutions. With the change of business completed it will now commence the execution of the business plan described in the listing statement dated June 30, 2025, and filed with the Canadian Securities Exchange and on SEDAR+. It is important to note that as with any investment there are risks including that digital assets remain an emerging assets class with government regulation still under development, there has been significant volatility in digital assets and their value can decline rapidly, historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future performance and global digital asset demand may not continue to increase due to global financial conditions and other factors. Intellistake is a start-up that does not have the same access to capital as other larger more established companies. We seek Safe Harbor.
