PIVOT & UNSTAKING FAQ 🧵 1. WHY PIVOT? Before the pivot, the VaderAI ecosystem was closely linked to Genesis and often viewed by the market as a proxy for its success. When Genesis adoption was strong, VaderAI benefited from the positive momentum. When growth slowed, VaderAI was impacted as well. During this period, we were also building DeFAI technology to automate Genesis Points management, combined with an ACP multi-agent due diligence orchestration. The goal was to make participation in Genesis smarter, unbiased and more efficient through automation and collaborative AI agents. Genesis attracted strong projects and great teams, but because fundraising was not part of its scope, some teams naturally opted for other launchpads where they could raise capital. This dynamic gradually harmed growth for Genesis. Since VaderAI already had exposure to Genesis through a 5% Virgen Points allocation via a strategic partnership with Virtuals, doubling down further would have concentrated risk. We believed the prudent choice was to reset and refocus resources toward areas with broader long-term potential.

1/ We are excited to announce our pivot to Robotics. VaderAI is now Vader.

🚨🚨🚨 MAJOR UPDATE ON VADERAI 🚨🚨🚨 The project is undergoing a major pivot, moving away from Genesis related DeFAI product development. 1/ Given the uncertainty that comes with any pivot, all staked $VADER tokens (staked on vaderai(dot)ai)) are unlocked and sent back to their corresponding holders so they don’t feel locked into the new direction. Check your wallets. 2/ Staking on vaderai(dot)ai is terminated — holders will no longer be able to stake-lock $VADER for long-term. Staking $VADER will only be available on virtuals(dot)io with a 14-day cooldown period. 3/ Vader Yapping is terminated. Yappers who locked their $VADER tokens for 12 months received their tokens back. 4/ The next 14 days — Virgen Points and token airdrops will be distributed based on yesterday’s snapshot of stakers & yappers. Post-day 14 — 5% of Virgen Points will be shared among $VADER stakers staking on virtuals(dot)io for a temporary period. The remaining committed airdrops will be reserved for future community incentives. 5/ Virgen Caps are ready for distribution but there are only 400 of them. If you had >40k staked $VADER for a minimum of 90-day commitment period in the last 3 months, you would be eligible for the cap. Delivery fees will need to be covered by the recipient. A link will be shared in the upcoming days to collect wallet, physical address and recipient full name information for delivery. Since there are only 400 caps, submissions will be evaluated on a FCFS basis. The form will be open to submissions for 60 days from the day link is shared. Shipping to some countries may not be possible due to logistical complexities and there might be issues at the customs with certain countries. Alternatively, if you are eligible and plan to be in Seoul at KBW, you could collect the caps in-person from a Virtuals/Vader event.
