Intchains Group (ICG) Announces Official Commercial Launch of Goldshell’s Stake Business, Completing Web3 Infrastructure Ecosystem Layout

Intchains Group Limited (NASDAQ: ICG, hereinafter referred to as “ICG” or the “Group”), a Nasdaq-listed company, announced today that the blockchain staking business of Goldshell, its core brand, has completed full-process compliance preparation and technical deployment, and officially launched commercial operations for global users as of today. 

Investors can inquire about relevant service information through Goldshell’s dedicated Stake business platform. This milestone marks the Group’s strategic breakthrough in the blockchain infrastructure service sector, injecting new impetus into overall business growth and further improving the Group’s “Mining Machine – Asset – Service” Web3 ecological closed loop.

Strategic Acquisition: A Solid Foundation for Accelerating Goldshell’s Staking Business

ICG’s recent completion of a pivotal strategic acquisition has laid the groundwork for the rapid launch and scalable operation of Goldshell’s Staking business. The move saw ICG successfully acquire the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) technology platform operated by DxPool for USD 1.3 million—an investment that has directly fueled Goldshell’s expansion into the Staking sector.

As a mature infrastructure validated through long-term market testing, the acquired PoS platform brings substantial value: it features a fully developed technical architecture, standardized operational protocols, and a steady global customer base. These strengths equip Goldshell with “plug-and-play” core capabilities, eliminating traditional entry barriers and enabling immediate market penetration.

Post-acquisition, the platform has undergone in-depth integration with Goldshell’s existing business ecosystem. Now operating as an independent core business segment, it serves the global market under a refreshed brand identity—turning the strategic acquisition into a tangible driver of Goldshell’s Staking business growth.

Having undergone long-term market validation, this platform features a complete technical architecture, standardized operation system and stable customer base, providing three core values for Goldshell’s efficient entry into the staking track:

• Technical Readiness: Eliminating the need for ground-up construction, directly acquiring a battle-tested technical system covering node operation, revenue calculation and security monitoring;
• Customer Accumulation: Inheriting the institutional and individual customer resources of the original platform, reducing market expansion costs;
• Compliance Assurance: The platform has completed basic compliance filings in multiple jurisdictions, providing support for the global launch of services.

After the completion of the acquisition, this PoS platform has been integrated into an independent business segment under Goldshell and incorporated into the Group’s overall business matrix for management under a unified brand image.

Initially Covering Four Major Public Chains, Technical System Ensures Asset Security and Stable Returns

To meet the asset allocation needs of different types of investors, Goldshell’s Stake business covers staking services for four major mainstream blockchain networks at its launch, including Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), Manta (MANTA) and Conflux (CFX). Leveraging the core technical assets accumulated by the acquired platform, Goldshell has built an end-to-end service capability, specifically including:

• End-to-End Service System: Covering front-end user interaction, back-end technical support and API interface services, adapting to the differentiated operational needs of individual and institutional customers;
• Standardized Operation Framework: Establishing full-process operation mechanisms such as real-time monitoring of node health, automatic revenue calculation and distribution, and risk early warning;
• High-Level Security Assurance: Adopting distributed cloud architecture and encrypted database storage to ensure the security of users’ staked assets and the stability of returns.

The launch of this business enables the Group to provide cost-effective and highly reliable professional staking services to global users, further expanding the Group’s customer service scope.

Improving Ecological Closed Loop to Enhance Comprehensive Competitiveness, Group’s ETH Holdings Staking Plan Implemented

As a key extension of the Group’s blockchain ecosystem layout, Goldshell’s Stake business forms a high synergy effect with existing businesses, filling the gap in the Group’s blockchain infrastructure service sector. Currently, ICG has built a complete business matrix covering: 1) R&D and supply of altcoin mining machines; 2) Strategic holding of digital assets such as Ethereum; 3) Web3 innovative application development; 4) Blockchain staking services, forming an ecological closed loop of “Mining Machine – Asset – Service”.

Notably, the Group has formulated a staking strategy for its Ethereum holdings and plans to conduct staking business in batches through the Goldshell Stake platform and partner channels. As of the date of this announcement, the Group has completed the staking of 1,000 Ethereum tokens, accounting for 11.3% of the Group’s total Ethereum holdings. This initiative is not only an important measure for the Group to implement its digital asset appreciation strategy, but also accumulates valuable practical experience for the operation of the Stake platform, which will effectively enhance the professionalism and reliability of the platform’s services.

Uphold a Long-Term Strategy to Create Sustainable Value for Shareholders

Mr. Ding Qiang, Chairman and CEO of ICG, stated: “The official commercial launch of Goldshell’s Stake business is fully aligned with the Group’s core strategic direction of expanding next-generation blockchain infrastructure. This business layout has three strategic significances: First, it enhances the Group’s technical service capabilities, enabling us to participate more deeply in the construction and development of decentralized networks; second, it improves the operational efficiency of the Group’s digital assets through business synergy to achieve asset appreciation; third, it will create long-term and stable investment returns for shareholders through precise capital allocation and rigorous risk management, promoting the Group’s sustainable growth.”

A Goldshell representative added: “The Stake business is an important milestone for Goldshell in deeply cultivating the blockchain industry, and also a key carrier for transforming the Group’s technical strength into service capabilities. Relying on mature technical platforms and operational experience, we have gained the ability to provide high-quality services to global users. In the future, we will adopt an open attitude to cooperate with industry partners to jointly promote the large-scale application of blockchain infrastructure.”

Future Plan: Expanding Service Scope and Deepening International Market Layout

Looking ahead, Goldshell will take the Stake business as its core focus and continue to advance two strategic directions: First, deepen technological R&D and gradually expand support for staking services on more mainstream and potential blockchain networks; second, innovate scenario integration, explore the integration of staking services with scenarios such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and digital asset management, and enrich service connotations.

Leveraging ICG’s global resource layout and brand influence, Goldshell plans to gradually expand its Stake business to key markets such as North America, Europe and Southeast Asia, striving to build itself into a world-leading blockchain staking service brand and contribute sustained revenue growth momentum to the Group.
