Research Brief
Research Brief · 17 May 2026
Through research on the following hot topics: PocketFi is ending $SWITCH mining and moving to staking, with a major focus on Proof of Humanity verification to filter out bots. A collaboration between Hamster Kombat and Mission Pawsible is teased, alongside a 100-year staking option and a volunteer fund. The community is being pushed to surrender tokens or lose them.
My take: This is a classic play to create scarcity and reward loyal users after a mining phase. The 100-year stake is a gimmick, but it builds hype. The anti-bot measures feel aggressive but necessary for credibility.
I predict PocketFi will launch a new era with staking rewards and partnerships, likely boosting $SWITCH value short-term. Public sentiment is mixed—excitement for the future but anxiety over missed verification windows and token burns.
