Astrid Intelligence PLC
("Astrid" or the "Company")
Launch of Astrid Vault
Astrid Intelligence PLC (AQSE: ASTR) is pleased to announce the launch of
Astrid Vault, a new on-chain platform designed with the aim of improving
liquidity and stability across the Bittensor AI network.
What Problem Does Astrid Vault Solve?
Within decentralised AI networks, each subnet has its own token. When holders
of these tokens want to exit positions, selling into open markets can create
short-term price pressure and volatility.
Astrid Vault has been developed to potentially serve as an alternative
mechanism for long-term participation, which could help mitigate this
short-term disruption.
How Astrid Vault Works
Holders of any subnet tokens can choose to deposit their tokens into Astrid
Vault for a long-term lock-up period.
The deposited tokens remain locked for an extended duration, helping to reduce
immediate selling pressure and support more orderly market conditions across
subnets.
In return, they receive a discounted amount of Astrid's Subnet 127 tokens,
subject to pre-defined, algorithmic parameters which the user can choose to
sell or keep.
All allocations are governed transparently by on-chain rules.

Why This Matters for Astrid
The Company believes that the Astrid Vault may strengthen the Company's role
as a liquidity coordination and infrastructure provider within the Bittensor
ecosystem.
By facilitating structured and long-term token commitments the Company:
● Deepens its integration within multiple subnets;
● Improves network stability support through reduced short-term
volatility;
● expands its operational footprint across the ecosystem; and
● attracts and locks up more subnet tokens than it emits.
The Board believes that practical infrastructure solutions which improve
coordination and stability will likely become increasingly important as
decentralised AI networks continue to grow.
Further updates, including adoption metrics, will be provided in due course.
