Silver Spring, Maryland--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2025) - BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ: BTCS) ("BTCS" or the "Company"), a leader in blockchain infrastructure and technology, is pleased to announce its partnership with Figment Inc. ("Figment"), one of the world's foremost blockchain infrastructure providers, for the launch of its Staker Protection Plan. This solution is designed to enhance transaction inclusion and state preservation, addressing a critical pain point for traders and end-users who demand greater certainty for their high-value and time-sensitive transactions. WonderFi Technologies Inc. (TSX: WNDR) (OTCQB: WONDF) ("WonderFi"), a top digital asset company, will join as Figments first customer in the pilot program.

Partnership and Pilot Program Highlights: This collaboration underscores BTCS and Figment's shared commitment to advancing the blockchain ecosystem by addressing critical challenges in wider adoption. With WonderFi's participation, stakers on the WonderFi-owned Bitbuy and Coinsquare platforms will be the first to enjoy the benefits of the program. The pilot program is 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.
