Join our growing community

Cebu is currently thriving as a hub for blockchain development, attracting numerous talented developers from across the Philippines and making it a fertile ground for innovative projects like Stakk.

While Stakk is still in the throes of development, it has already marked its territory within the DeFi space by introducing a platform on the Solana blockchain. This platform is designed to revolutionize staking by offering single-asset staking opportunities enhanced by an AI-driven system for risk management and asset allocation. Its mission is to democratize the staking process, making it accessible and rewarding for all by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.

That said, we had the unique opportunity to discuss this developing project with Raynon Rejie Maglinte, Stakk’s Business Development Manager, and its Co-Founder Adrian Alquizar, during the recent Cebu Blockchain Conference 2025 in Cebu City, Philippines. This groundbreaking event is Cebu City’s first-ever crypto and blockchain conference in partnership with Web3 Cebu and WAV3.

What Is Stakk?

Stakk is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform on the Solana blockchain that offers single-asset staking opportunities with an AI-powered system for risk and asset allocation. The project aims to simplify and enhance the staking experience for users by providing a platform that maximizes rewards, all by just staking one asset.

“Stakk is basically a single-asset staking platform that uses AI to leverage benefits from airdrops down to participating in governance,” Adrian Alquizar, Co-Founder of Stakk, told UseTheBitcoin during the Cebu Blockchain Conference 2025.

Leveraging AI In Stakk’s Platform For Smarter Solutions

Alquizar explains that their platform leverages AI to enhance user interactions with DeFi protocols on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the AI is designed to analyze data across these protocols, identifying yield opportunities and platforms where users can engage in airdrop farming:

“Our AI in Stakk analyzes data across different DeFi protocols in Solana, such as yield opportunities and platforms that offer airdrop farming. It also scans all the governance in the Solana ecosystem you can participate in. Secondly, the AI also automates transactions and creates assets across the DeFi protocols, and all the users need to do is stake and claim their rewards.”

Moreover, the AI automates the more complex and time-consuming tasks involved in DeFi, such as transactions and asset creation across different protocols. According to Alquizar, users only need to stake their assets and claim their rewards.

The AI takes care of the rest, executing transactions and managing assets to maximize efficiency and reduce the barriers to entry for less tech-savvy users or those who wish to minimize their interaction with the technical aspects of DeFi.

Currently In Development: What’s Next For Stakk?

Stakk has recently achieved significant milestones, including closing partnerships and winning a recent hackathon, securing a $3,000 grant for the project.

Looking forward, Maglinte mentions that Stakk is transitioning from an awareness phase to a more active engagement phase. This year, they are set to launch a waitlist program, which will allow people to sign up and participate in Stakk’s upcoming initiatives.

Furthermore, Stakk is set to kick off its marketing efforts this year, indicating a shift towards promoting its platform more aggressively to increase visibility and adoption among potential users in the DeFi and Solana communities:

“This year, we will have the upcoming waitlist program where everyone can participate and join our upcoming initiatives for Stakk. Last year, in 2024, we were just in the awareness phase, but now we will move forward with our marketing program this year for 2025.”
