Intchains advances AI transformation and increases ETH staking, with over 8,000 ETH staked.

Mars Finance reports that on April 17, NASDAQ-listed company Intchains Group Limited announced its latest business developments, revealing its Ethereum (ETH) staking scale and AI-driven operational transformation plan. The company stated that as of April 16, it had staked a total of 8,040 ETH, including 1,000 ETH completed through the FalconX platform and 7,040 ETH deployed on its own Goldshell Stake platform; additionally, third parties have staked 1,363 ETH on the platform. The company claims that this multi-platform strategy maximizes returns and diversifies risks.
Strategically, Intchains is advancing an AI-enabled operational model transformation, focusing on chip and product development, market sales, and overall business operations, reconstructing processes and improving decision-making efficiency through automation and intelligent tools.
In terms of cost control, the company has reduced its staff size by approximately 20% early in 2026 and plans to further cut it to a total of about 35%, expected to save around 20 million RMB annually in labor costs. This adjustment mainly results from organizational streamlining and replacing repetitive manual processes with technology. The management stated that they will focus on core mining machine technology and Ethereum asset strategies, combined with AI to enhance R&D and operational efficiency, and plan to launch a new generation of mining machines in the second half of 2026 (subject to market conditions).
