It’s that time again where we share the most recent updates of our flagship hedge fund partnership with Infinite Point Capital (IPC). Over the past few months, our team has worked closely with IPC to fine-tune their signal infrastructure. The shared goal has been to maximise performance and build long-term value for their business and $EAI stakers.

This month has been different, and far more exciting. It has been a pivotal period that allowed us to see the partnership through a new lens and realise that the scale and potential of this collaboration is far greater than we first imagined.

Towards the end of April, some of the Eagle AI Labs team headed over to New York City, to meet with the team at IPC and the team of Fintech Global Center (FGC). FGC are our partner company and work with Eagle AI Labs to create the neural network AI models. The trip was eye-opening to say the least, the team realised that although neural network AI was invaluable, it offered but a piece to a more complex puzzle.

Jack Rockell (CEO), Darren Bishop (COO), and Lee Steer (Head of Sales) embarked on their journey to NYC. With their combined experience across traditional markets and digital assets markets, the trio were able to offer advanced insight into how to navigate this space effectively.

While working on the models with IPC, Jack noticed that their trading strategy relied heavily on the model alone, alongside traditional technical analysis. As a firm still relatively new to crypto, they hadn’t yet grasped that this market is largely psychological, with many other forces at play. This led to a new sense of conviction. The team saw clear room for improvement, and knew they could bridge the gap. That moment became the catalyst for a new initiative, Project CLAW.

Project CLAW

Project CLAW is the next step in our mission to build the ultimate one stop shop for traders. A single platform that brings together everything needed to make confident, informed decisions.

Our neural network AI models already deliver impressive accuracy and provide an unbiased second opinion on where the market may be heading. But as powerful as these models are, we have always been clear with our community that no single tool has ever been enough. Markets are complex, fast moving, and deeply psychological. Relying on just one input has always left traders exposed.

That is why our recent work with professional traders has been so important. Together, we created educational videos to show how the AI signal can be combined with other key data points such as sentiment, macro events, and liquidity. This helped many users improve their results, but it also highlighted a gap.

There has never been a single platform that brings it all together in one place.

That is what CLAW is here to change.

To truly empower traders, we need to remove the noise and deliver everything in one place. The Eagle AI Labs terminal will bring together: multiple AI models, whale activity, market sentiment, ETF flows, liquidity data, pre-trade signals, execution tools, and post-trade analysis. All of it within a single, unified dashboard.

AI models remain a core part of what we offer, but they are just one piece. With CLAW, we are building the full picture.

A Vision to Scale: A Team to Deliver

As digital assets move further into the mainstream and institutions begin to realise that they can no longer afford to ignore this disruptive technology, a clear gap is emerging that must be filled.

In April, James from the Eagle AI Labs team attended TOKEN2049 and noticed a recurring theme throughout. Expectedly, AI was amongst the major hot topics that dominated conversations. But taking a close second place was the bridging of TradFi and DeFi, and the large corporations entering the space. By their own admission, many of these institutions are still new to the space and trying to understand how to navigate it practically. It was a consistent narrative throughout the event, and one that only reinforced what the Eagle AI Labs team has anticipated and noticed for some time.

With both the tools and the team to cater directly and intimately to institutional players, Eagle AI Labs is positioned differently. We understand what they want, what they need, and how they operate. Our team speaks their language, and our products are built to provide clarity in a complex space.

Darren Bishop spent years striking deals with major institutions during his time at LSEG. Lee Steer brings deep experience from his tenure at Reuters. Martin Costa adds further weight, having worked with firms like First Abu Dhabi Bank and BlackRock. This is not just a team that knows how to work with institutional clients. This is a team that has been the decision makers inside them.

Fintech Global Center: The Beast Awakens

An instrumental aspect of the Eagle AI Labs team and our success lies within the genius minds and deep experience at Fintech Global Center (FGC). Ashok Mittal (CEO of FGC) has worked with Darren on multiple revolutionary projects over the years and has a proven ability to create and commercialise game-changing technologies.

Earlier in his career, Ashok was a founder of a library of applications and algorithms that came under the name “The Beast Apps”. These tools were designed to help traders anticipate future movements across a range of asset classes, with particular success in the interest rate swap markets. The Beast Apps were used during Ashok’s time at Tullett Prebon, contributing to the firm’s reputation as a major brokerage force on Wall Street. Institutions across the industry leveraged the platform to gain an edge powered by the technology Ashok had built.

The platform enabled real-time data, forward-looking analytics, and trade execution in one unified system, a vision that closely mirrors the foundation of CLAW.

Nowadays AI works in the place of the mathematical algorithms that were once produced. Ashok maintained the rights to The Beast Apps and formed his own company, FGC. With an unrelenting passion in this industry, he now utilises AI to find similarly disruptive solutions for traders. By partnering with Eagle AI Labs, he aims to fulfil his mission to be the number one provider to institutions on Wall Street once again, but this time for digital assets.

The Shift to Chapter Two.

Throughout the Eagle AI Labs community we have been speaking of a shift, a change from one era to the next, in the world of Eagle legacy. This noticeable shift occurred coincidentally at the same time that the project had just turned one year old. The team’s trip to NYC was the catalyst for CLAW, and CLAW is the catalyst for a much more momentous mission.

Before this trip, we had foreseen the partnership with IPC to be the pinnacle of what we can achieve — no mean feat, a joint venture with a fully regulated U.S. based crypto hedge fund is certainly a grand achievement. However, by noticing the strong need from institutions to understand digital assets better, and first-hand experience with their strategies, we realised we can build something far more valuable.

Chapter Two is all about creating a product designed for scale, something so essential that traders, both retail and institutional, won’t want to operate without it. By solving a real, persistent need, we unlock the potential to aim far higher. The vision is simple: build a terminal that becomes indispensable to traders, price it fairly and competitively, and grow the TradeRewards pot exponentially.

With Tom Sargent now leading the charge in marketing, our vision won’t just be seen; it will be impossible to ignore. Tom brings proven firepower in getting standout products in front of the right eyes, and we are armed with a powerful launch strategy that will put our terminal on the map from day one.

What Does This Mean for Epoch 2 Rewards?

This epoch, the Eagle AI Labs team were faced with a dilemma:

Do we use large amounts of capital to make epoch 2 rewards exciting and maintain a vision for a mediocre outcome?

Or do we double down, reinvest in CLAW, shift to Chapter Two and change the world of finance forever by delivering something never before seen, and desperately needed?

If you have been with Eagle AI Labs for a while, you will know that the team are going to settle for nothing but the best. Breaking the mould takes meaningful time, but the outcomes out live us all.

As such, the rewards for TradeRewards Epoch 2 are as follows:

$51,445 USDC + $300,000 (USD value) in $EAI Tokens

Claimable on the 31st of May 2025 at 10:00:00am UTC.

To protect the decentralisation and value of $EAI Tokens for the entire ecosystem and community, $EAI Tokens will be tapering down each epoch until they are no longer used.

This is to reward long-term support and patience to the vibrant $EAI community, whilst simultaneously protecting the ecosystem’s best interests.

The USDC portion of the TradeRewards rewards pool will fluctuate alongside real business operations, with the ultimate goal to see vast and exponential growth, with our newly aligned missions.

The total rewards for this epoch are as follows:

Why These Figures?

In the last epoch, we worked closely with Brad to analyse where the IPC partnership is headed and what realistic results we could expect in the short, medium, and long term. Based on that analysis, we front-loaded the first epoch’s rewards to align with our forecasts.

Since then, in what has been an extremely action-packed month, the team identified major opportunities to improve our tools and accelerate progress. In doing so, we also uncovered ways to monetise these solutions, with the potential to grow future reward pools significantly.

With this realisation, IPC have taken a step back to fine-tune their approach. They are currently focused on raising additional capital, strengthening their regulatory standing, and refining their trading strategy before deploying larger volumes. This measured approach ensures they are positioned for long-term performance and sustainability.

That said, continuing to distribute large amounts of $EAI is not sustainable and doesn’t align with long-term goals. We now have a clear and transparent taper-off strategy to phase out $EAI rewards, while still recognising and rewarding loyalty and patience. The USDC portion represents a fair, revenue-based distribution that reflects actual business performance.

We’ve also taken a strategic decision to focus more tightly on our core strength: delivering AI-powered models and tools for digital asset traders. By narrowing in on this niche, we can serve the right users more effectively, drive stronger adoption, and ultimately generate greater revenue for the entire ecosystem.

Final Thoughts

Eagle AI Labs was built for scale from day one. Our team brings together a rare convergence of Web3-native traders, entrepreneurial visionaries, TradFi veterans, and elite developers. We identified a clear gap in the market, one we know we are uniquely positioned to fill, and we have boldly repositioned to create something truly disruptive and urgently needed.

Sitting at the intersection of TradFi and DeFi brings inevitable differences in expectation. In crypto, people often look for instant impact, rapid changes, and big numbers. In TradFi, game-changing moves are built in silence and backed by immense capital. Eagle AI Labs stands in the middle, agile enough to move fast, strong enough to think long term, and committed to empowering every user with real, actionable information.

What we’re building is more than a tool. It is the first true digital assets terminal. It will redefine how traders operate across all levels, and those with the foresight to see what’s coming will be the ones who benefit most.

We’re grateful to every one of you for being part of this journey. Your feedback, loyalty, and belief mean everything. This update isn’t just a look at where we are. It is a window into how far we’re about to go.

Chapter Two begins now. The best is yet to come.
