Ark Invest Teams Up With SOL Strategies While WeWake Crypto Presale Grows

• Ark Invest shifts Solana staking to SOL Strategies, strengthening institutional validator operations via BitGo custody.
• WeWake launches a crypto presale to fund a walletless, gasless Layer 2 network with ERC-4337 smart wallets and Paymaster tech.
• WeWake releases a whitepaper detailing SDK tools and a roadmap for Testnet in Q1 2026 and Mainnet by Q2 2026.

Ark Invest has partnered with blockchain validator operator SOL Strategies to manage its Solana staking infrastructure. SOL Strategies will now operate Solana validators for the Ark Digital Assets Revolutions Fund. At the same time, WeWake has released its whitepaper and launched a crypto presale to fund a gasless and walletless Layer 2 blockchain. The WeWake crypto presale is attracting developers and users who want simplified blockchain onboarding. 

Ark Invest Appoints SOL Strategies to Operate Solana Validators

Ark Invest has officially chosen SOL Strategies to manage its Solana validator operations. The asset manager will use SOL Strategies’ infrastructure for the Ark Digital Assets Revolutions Fund. This move shifts validator responsibilities from internal operations to an external blockchain service provider.

The fund includes multiple cryptocurrencies and seeks to generate returns through staking and long-term holding. SOL Strategies runs five validators across the Solana network and manages over 3.5 million SOL. Ark Invest’s validator activity will now be integrated with BitGo’s custody services to ensure compliance and operational safety.

SOL Strategies has secured this partnership despite reporting a $3.5 million net loss in Q2 2025. The firm attributes its growth to rising third-party delegations and improved validator performance. Over 5,700 wallets currently delegate to its network, which now includes Ark’s Solana holdings.

This validator transition allows Ark Invest to focus on staking returns and network support while using enterprise-grade infrastructure. It also reflects a broader move by institutional firms to seek staking income from proof-of-stake blockchains.

WeWake Crypto Presale Supports Walletless Blockchain Access

WeWake has launched its crypto presale to support the development of a walletless and gasless Layer 2 network. The WeWake platform eliminates common onboarding barriers by using smart wallets and social logins such as Google and Telegram.

The crypto presale aims to fund zk-rollup development, ERC-4337 smart wallet integration, and the Paymaster system. These tools enable users to access Web3 without needing seed phrases, browser extensions, or ETH for gas. The WeWake whitepaper has now been released, outlining how users and developers can benefit from zero-friction onboarding.

Developers can use the SDK to build dApps with wallet abstraction, allowing broader user access. The WAKE token, currently available through the crypto presale, will be used for staking, governance, and rewards within the network.

WeWake plans to launch its public testnet in Q1 2026. The mainnet is scheduled for Q2 2026, following testing of the Paymaster API and wallet login system. Early token buyers will receive priority access to platform features and staking programs.

Developer and User Growth Expected Through WeWake SDK

The WeWake platform is built with zk-rollup technology and is designed to onboard both users and developers without friction. With support for NFT minting, DeFi usage, and social app integration, the infrastructure supports multiple use cases.

Through its SDK, developers can onboard users with one-click login without requiring browser wallets or private key management. Features such as the built-in Paymaster allow apps to sponsor gas fees directly, simplifying the user journey.

Telegram-based dApps, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi platforms are among the first targets for WeWake’s SDK integration. The crypto presale is helping fund ecosystem grants and liquidity provisioning for these early partners.

The WAKE token supports governance, activity-based rewards, and gas fee sponsorships. According to the WeWake roadmap, the network will integrate with modular data availability layers such as Celestia or EigenDA to improve scaling by Q2 2026.
