P2P.org Appoints Betsabe Botaitis as Chief Financial Officer

<h2 id="at-a-glance"><strong>At a Glance:&nbsp;</strong></h2><ul><li>P2P.org founder Konstantin Lomashuk returns as CEO to lead the company's evolution from validator operations to full-stack yield infrastructure</li><li>Konstantin Zaitcev joins as Co-CEO to drive execution and operational performance</li><li>The leadership shift reflects P2P.org's strategic focus on building institutional-grade yield infrastructure beyond standalone staking</li><li>Alex Esin transitions to an advisory role after driving 15x client growth and establishing P2P.org as the #1 provider in restaking</li></ul><p>P2P.org is entering a new chapter. After years building one of the world's most trusted staking operations — $10+ billion in assets, #1 rankings on Solana and Ethereum by APR, zero slashing incidents — the company is now focused on a larger challenge: building the yield infrastructure the industry will run on for decades.</p><p>Founder Konstantin Lomashuk has assumed the role of CEO at a moment when institutional clients and platforms need more than validators. They need secure, scalable systems that can deliver yield across assets while operating within real-world regulatory constraints. P2P.org is positioning itself to deliver exactly that.</p><h2 id="why-this-matters-for-institutional-yield"><strong>Why This Matters for Institutional Yield</strong></h2><p>The institutional staking market has matured considerably. Treasury managers understand staking's value proposition. Custodians have built integration capabilities. Asset managers are allocating to staking strategies at scale.</p><p>But the next phase requires different infrastructure. Institutions need:</p><ul><li><strong>Multi-asset yield capabilities</strong> that extend beyond native staking</li><li><strong>Compliance-first architecture</strong> designed for evolving regulatory frameworks</li><li><strong>Scalable operations</strong> that can handle institutional volume without compromising security</li><li><strong>Seamless integration</strong> with existing custody and reporting systems</li></ul><p>P2P.org's validator operations established the foundation. The company's perfect track record — 99.9% uptime across 40+ networks with zero slashing incidents — demonstrates the operational rigor institutions require. The leadership shift signals P2P.org's commitment to building on that foundation.</p><h2 id="from-validators-to-yield-infrastructure"><strong>From Validators to Yield Infrastructure</strong></h2><p>Lomashuk brings a track record of building infrastructure before markets fully form. He founded P2P.org and Cyber.Fund, a long-term investment firm focused on blockchain infrastructure and protocol development. He was an early backer in Ethereum and Solana, and co-founded Lido, the world's largest liquid staking protocol.</p><p>That experience shapes his view of what comes next.</p><p>"The industry is hungry for more than validators," said Lomashuk. "It needs a real yield engine. This is a chance to go from zero to one at the infrastructure layer — not by starting over, but by building what has never existed at industry scale. We're taking the trust we've earned and using it to build the ultimate institutional yield engine the industry will run on for decades."</p><p>As CEO, Lomashuk will lead long-term strategy, security standards, and the development of new yield products across digital asset classes. The focus extends beyond staking to encompass the full spectrum of yield generation opportunities institutions are exploring.</p><h2 id="vision-and-execution-the-co-ceo-structure"><strong>Vision and Execution: The Co-CEO Structure</strong></h2><p>To maintain execution discipline while pursuing category-defining innovation, P2P.org has introduced a Co-CEO structure. Konstantin Zaitcev, former co-founder and CEO of dRPC.org, joins as Co-CEO alongside Lomashuk.</p><p>The division of responsibilities is explicit:</p><ul><li><strong>Lomashuk</strong> leads vision, strategy, and category direction</li><li><strong>Zaitcev</strong> owns delivery, execution, and operational performance</li></ul><p>Zaitcev brings experience building and scaling infrastructure businesses. He'll oversee day-to-day operations as P2P.org expands its product footprint across assets, networks, and use cases.</p><p>This structure enables P2P.org to pursue ambitious product development while maintaining the operational excellence institutional clients require. Vision without execution creates vaporware. Execution without vision creates commoditization. The Co-CEO model addresses both imperatives.</p><h2 id="building-on-a-strong-foundation"><strong>Building on a Strong Foundation</strong></h2><p>The leadership transition builds on the tenure of Alex Esin, who led P2P.org through exponential growth over the past three years. Under Esin's leadership, P2P.org achieved:</p><ul><li><strong>15x client growth</strong> across institutional and retail segments</li><li><strong>Massive Ethereum adoption</strong> establishing P2P.org as a dominant validator</li><li><strong>Critical regulatory licenses</strong> enabling compliant operations in key markets</li><li><strong>#1 market position</strong> in restaking infrastructure</li></ul><p>"We've achieved exactly what we set out to do — building a dominant, high-performance machine that leads the market," said Esin. "The foundation is rock-solid, and I can't think of a better setup than having Konstantin return to drive the next wave of innovation."</p><p>Esin will continue supporting P2P.org in an advisory role, ensuring continuity as the company expands its mandate.</p><h2 id="what-full-stack-yield-infrastructure-means"><strong>What Full-Stack Yield Infrastructure Means</strong></h2><p>The industry is evolving beyond standalone staking. Platforms and institutions now need systems that can:</p><ul><li><strong>Aggregate yield opportunities</strong> across multiple protocols and asset types</li><li><strong>Manage risk</strong> through diversification and real-time monitoring</li><li><strong>Automate operations</strong> while maintaining institutional control and oversight</li><li><strong>Provide transparency</strong> with comprehensive reporting and audit trails</li><li><strong>Scale reliably</strong> without compromising security or performance</li></ul><p>P2P.org's validator operations demonstrated the company's ability to deliver on security, uptime, and performance. The move toward full-stack yield infrastructure applies that same rigor to a broader set of capabilities.</p><p>This isn't incremental improvement. It's category creation — building the infrastructure layer that will support institutional yield generation as digital asset adoption accelerates.</p><h2 id="the-path-forward"><strong>The Path Forward</strong></h2><p>With founder leadership in place and execution ownership clearly defined, P2P.org is focused on building yield infrastructure designed not just for today's market conditions, but for the next generation of digital asset finance.</p><p>The company's track record provides the foundation. The leadership structure enables both vision and execution. The market opportunity is clear — institutions need yield infrastructure that combines the security and compliance they require with the innovation digital assets enable.</p><p>P2P.org is building to meet that need.</p>

Its methodical, peer-reviewed approach has helped it build a network that prioritizes decentralization, scalability, and long-term adoption. Unlike projects that chase short-term hype, Cardano has consistently focused on building infrastructure that can stand the test of time.</p><p>At the heart of Cardano’s design is staking. By delegating ADA to validators, holders play an active role in securing the network, processing transactions, and sustaining decentralization. It’s one of the most community-centric models in blockchain — the foundation of governance and alignment across the Cardano ecosystem.</p><h2 id="why-staking-matters-now"><strong>Why Staking Matters Now</strong></h2><p>Staking has become one of the most critical mechanisms for ensuring trust and accountability in proof-of-stake networks. It aligns validators and token holders, strengthens network security, and allows participants to support the networks they believe in directly.</p><p>For ADA holders, staking represents not just participation, but contribution in Cardano’s long-term vision. Yet for many, the process has often been fragmented — requiring multiple apps, unfamiliar interfaces, or trust in validators they don’t fully know.</p><p>This is the problem the Tangem–P2P.org integration solves.</p><h2 id="tangem-hardware-simplicity-meets-staking-power"><strong>Tangem: Hardware Simplicity Meets Staking Power</strong></h2><p>Tangem has long been recognized for making self-custody straightforward.

Cardano adoption is expanding across DeFi, governance, and enterprise applications. As more ADA enters staking, the ecosystem needs solutions that combine accessibility with reliability.</p><p>The Tangem–P2P.org collaboration strengthens Cardano by:</p><ul><li><strong>Lowering barriers to staking:</strong> Secure, hardware-level delegation in a few taps.</li><li><strong>Boosting decentralization:</strong> Broadening the base of participants strengthens the validator set.</li><li><strong>Bridging retail and institutional staking:</strong> Bringing consumer hardware wallets and enterprise-grade infra into alignment.</li></ul><h2 id="beyond-tangem-a-blueprint-for-wallets-custodians-everywhere"><strong>Beyond Tangem: A Blueprint for Wallets &amp; Custodians Everywhere</strong></h2><p>This is also a model for how wallets, exchanges, and custody providers can add staking to their own platforms.</p><p>The integration shows that partners can:</p><ul><li><strong>Easily embed staking via P2P.org’s API or validator endpoints.</strong></li><li><strong>Offer multi-chain staking</strong> (Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, and more) without building infrastructure themselves.</li><li><strong>Rely on established validators</strong> with extensive experience securing large-scale staking networks..</li></ul><p>Tangem sets the standard. It demonstrates how a user-first wallet can integrate staking quickly, securely, and at scale — setting a precedent for the wider industry.</p><h2 id="a-future-of-inclusive-staking"><strong>A Future of Inclusive Staking</strong></h2><p>The future of staking will be defined by accessibility and trust. Users need tools that are intuitive and secure, while networks and institutions need validators that are reliable and professional.</p><p>Tangem and P2P.org are showing how these two requirements can come together. For ADA holders, the result is a seamless way to stake directly from their wallet. For the industry, it’s evidence that staking can be integrated into any product without sacrificing user experience or operational standards.</p><p>With Tangem, P2P.org has delivered more than just a new staking flow — it has shown the path forward for wallets and custodians everywhere.</p><p>Together, we are setting the stage for a staking ecosystem that is inclusive, reliable, and ready to scale.</p><p><strong>Disclaimer: </strong>Staking rewards are not guaranteed and may vary. They depend on blockchain protocol changes, validator performance, and network-specific rules outside of P2P.org’s control. Participation in staking carries risks, including protocol issues, slashing, and technical failures. Users should conduct their own research, seek professional advice where necessary, and ensure they fully understand the risks before participating.</p>
