Jackson Mega Upgrade

Introduction

Jackson.io is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of its "Mega Upgrade." with the release of V2 of our Beta version. This milestone release transcends simple feature enhancements—it's a holistic evolution aimed at propelling the growth of decentralized GameFi and accelerating the transition of Web2 users into the Web3 ecosystem.

Since our launch in April, Jackson.io has been committed to building a secure, transparent, and efficient on-chain entertainment ecosystem. We believe that GameFi can only evolve from a niche market to mainstream adoption when infrastructure, content ecosystems, and user experiences advance together. The "Mega Upgrade" embodies this philosophy, delivering real, tangible advancements.

Through Beta 2.0, Jackson.io will achieve breakthroughs in five key areas: staking mechanisms, sports entertainment, original games, brand building, and AI technology. These enhancements will offer users a smoother on-chain experience and lower barriers to entry into Web3. Our mission is to enable more Web2 users to participate naturally and embrace the values and possibilities of decentralization.

The Beta 2.0 "Mega Upgrade" marks the start of Jackson.io's next phase. In the sections below, we detail the five core pillars of this transformative release.

Pillar 1: JacksonLP 2.0 – Launching a Next-Generation Staking System

As the first highlight of the Beta 2.0 "Mega Upgrade," Jackson.io will officially debut the all-new JacksonLP 2.0 staking system on August 10, 2025. This upgrade introduces a “Fixed-Term Staking with Tradable Yield Certificate” model, offering users enhanced capital efficiency and flexibility, with support for USDC and SUI assets.

System Migration Timeline

• Starting August 10: The new system goes live, allowing users to unstake from the existing JacksonLP V1, which will be sunsetted.

• By End of August: Full transition from the old to the new system, with all staking functions migrating to JacksonLP 2.0.

We recommend that users, based on their financial planning, unstake from the old system and restake in the new one during this period to ensure seamless continuity of rewards.

Key Features of JacksonLP 2.0

• 90-Day Fixed Staking Period: Users receive tradable yield certificates that can be exchanged on secondary markets, combining rewards with liquidity.

• Automated Reward Distribution: Platform revenues are automatically airdropped weekly to stakers' wallets, requiring no additional actions.

• Tradable Certificates: Certificates provide flexibility by enabling free circulation on secondary markets.

• Hot and Cold Fund Separation: Idle funds are staked in the official Sui insurance pool, with 100% of the interest returned to certificate holders.

Pillar 2: Sports Section Launch – Compliant Sports and Esports Entertainment

In the "Mega Upgrade," Jackson.io will introduce its Sportsbook section by integrating with Betby, a leading sportsbook solutions provider. Betby operates under multiple licenses, including the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2B/621/2018) and the Anjouan Gaming License issued by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority in the Union of the Comoros, ensuring a secure, transparent, and regulated on-chain sports entertainment experience.

These licenses enable Jackson.io to legally offer sports and esports activities, including football, basketball, racing, and esports events. This initiative ensures fairness, fund security, and a regulated environment for users to enjoy on-chain entertainment with confidence.

The Sports section's launch evolves Jackson.io from a single GameFi protocol into a comprehensive entertainment platform integrating decentralized finance, compliant sports entertainment, and on-chain gaming. By leveraging familiar sports scenarios, we aim to reduce entry barriers for Web2 users and encourage broader participation in decentralized ecosystems.

Pillar 3: Expanding Jackson Original Games – Deepening the Content Ecosystem

Jackson.io will further enrich its content ecosystem by releasing more Jackson Original games, all regulated under the Anjouan iGaming License to deliver safe, fair, and compliant on-chain gaming experiences.

These games will fully incorporate the Sharkz theme, leveraging unique characters and world-building to strengthen Jackson.io's brand identity. Through consistent visual and narrative design, we aim to create immersive entertainment that positions Sharkz as a central symbol in on-chain entertainment culture.

All original games are designed with fairness, playability, and innovative economic models at their core, integrating seamlessly with Jackson.io's existing staking system and Sports section. This forms a complete, sustainable on-chain entertainment ecosystem but a not just a product expansion, but a strategic advancement in compliance, branding, and content, offering users a blend of fun and security in Web3 gaming.

Pillar 4: Sharkz Brand Revamp – Building a Web3 Brand Culture

The fourth pillar of the "Mega Upgrade" focuses on elevating the Sharkz brand, using this signature character to create a clear, recognizable visual identity for the entire ecosystem. Sharkz, our brand mascot, is designed to help users intuitively understand the platform and ease their first steps into Web3.

To make the brand more tangible, we will launch Sharkz streetwear and physical merchandise, allowing users to engage with the Jackson.io ecosystem beyond the digital realm and into everyday life.

The Sharkz brand also ties into our collection of 9,999 Sharkz NFTs, which are not mere collectibles but emblems of community belonging and participation. We envision Sharkz NFTs as enduring elements that link and grow our community, rather than short-term speculative assets.

Pillar 5: Sharkz AI App – Intelligent Interactions on the Horizon

AI is rapidly transforming daily life, becoming an essential tool across applications and services. For Jackson.io, AI represents not just a technology, but a vast opportunity in our future roadmap.

We plan to launch the Sharkz AI App in Q4 2025, an application that integrates mature language models from leading enterprises with our Sharkz brand character. Rather than pioneering new AI tech, our focus is on blending proven solutions with brand culture to create practical, community-oriented interactions.

In the Sharkz AI App, "Jackz" will act as users' personal assistant, enabling conversations for game info, event updates, and even asset management. This enhances ecosystem stickiness and fun. Our goal is to transform AI into a daily bridge between the brand and users, evolving Jackson.io from a GameFi platform into an intelligent, companion-like entertainment ecosystem.

Advancing to the Next Stage

The Beta 2.0 "Mega Upgrade" represents a pivotal milestone for Jackson.io. Through the innovative JacksonLP 2.0 staking system, license-backed sports entertainment, expanded original games, ongoing Sharkz brand development, and the forthcoming Sharkz AI App, we are laying a robust foundation for sustained growth.

As Beta 2.0 rolls out, Jackson.io will continue to pragmatically advance the GameFi ecosystem, facilitating a seamless transition for users from Web2 to Web3.
