A Strategic Update for the $STUFF Ecosystem
On July 3, 2026 (Epoch 641), we will begin sunsetting the $STUFF Stake Pool.
When we launched the pool, it played an important role in helping grow and reward the community. Today, @book_io and @stuff_io are entering a new phase, and we believe the strongest path forward is to focus $STUFF on utility, demand, and ecosystem growth rather than token emissions.
As a result, we have made the decision to discontinue bonus $STUFF rewards through staking.
If you currently delegate ADA to the $STUFF Stake Pool, please be sure to redelegate to another stake pool before July 3rd.
Any unclaimed rewards will remain available through the normal claim process. We encourage all delegators to visit https://t.co/ir4iK7jUh9 and claim any outstanding rewards within the next 60 days.
Most importantly, this is not a step backward. It is a step forward.
Our focus is now on building real utility and real demand for $STUFF through products, commerce, and platform growth. We are moving aggressively toward bringing more than 12 million print books to @book_io, creating one of the largest book marketplaces in the world. As those sales grow, a portion of net sales will be allocated toward purchasing $STUFF.
We believe the future value of $STUFF should be driven by adoption, customer activity, and ecosystem growth. That is exactly where we are headed.
To help make this transition as smooth as possible, we will be publishing a detailed FAQ and stake pool wind-down guide at https://t.co/RSwXNUwZCx in the coming days.
Thank you to every delegator who supported the pool and helped us build the foundation for what comes next.
The mission remains the same. The vision is bigger than ever.
Own Your $STUFF!
SAP just embedded Claude agents across its entire enterprise platform. SAP is everywhere in North Texas. Manufacturing. Energy. Healthcare. Logistics. DFW builders who understand enterprise ops + agentic AI are about to be in very short supply. That's the lane https://t.co/KvFyPE2yEk is watching. What are you building?
North Texas already has 19,000 AI professionals (more than Austin) and $1.1B+ in startup investment. Now production-scale GPU compute is landing here too. The excuse that you need to be in SF to build serious AI is getting weaker by the month.
JPMorgan's biggest campus outside NYC is in Plano. TXSE is being built in Dallas. Today Dimon says they're hiring AI specialists, not bankers.
North Texas is where AI meets the next wave of US finance.

Google just shipped Gemini Spark: a personal AI agent running 24/7 on your behalf. Token volume across Google's APIs: 3.2 quadrillion per month. This is not a demo. For DFW builders, the question is no longer "will agents arrive?" It's "are you building for the world they create?"
.@nvidia reports $78B in expected revenue. They're also building AI manufacturing infrastructure in Texas. The AI wave isn't somewhere else. It's here. North Texas builders: we're in the right place. // https://t.co/ptXMSnkoj8
