Our team has been diligently working to align our external presence with our evolving strategy. As part of this effort, the Reef website now features updated copy that clearly articulates our new focus. From a promotional perspective, the marketing department has been consistently publishing content to share this refreshed narrative with our community. We also reached out to major data aggregators regarding these strategic shifts; submissions were sent to CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, and the updates on CoinGecko are already finalized.
On the operational front, we have communicated with 7 centralized exchanges (CEXs), notifying them that they have until the end of the quarter to transition to REEF on the Reef chain. Furthermore, our operations division successfully concluded a comprehensive research campaign focused on identifying the most suitable DeFi protocols to onboard to the Reef Chain.
Meanwhile, the Developer Relations (DevRel) team is driving several fresh initiatives. They are currently engaged in developing technical marketing assets, creating new tutorials, and revising the official Reef documentation to reflect current standards.
Most individuals enter the cryptocurrency space seeking the benefits the technology offers, rather than to navigate complicated systems. Reef is specifically engineered to eliminate those barriers and place the true potential of crypto directly within reach.
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our second burn event of 2026.
During this process, we permanently removed 60.7 million REEF from the Ethereum network. You can verify the transaction through this link: https://t.co/yLJRq0VmM3
Simultaneously, 4.47 million REEF were burnt on the BNB Smart Chain, confirmed here: https://t.co/QDPWMH3uJf
As of 9 February 2026, these efforts have resulted in the burning of 38.15% of the total REEF supply on Ethereum and 64.16% of all REEF on BNB Chain.
Our development unit has received a new assignment to implement analytics features within ReefSwap. Simultaneously, the marketing department has finished a comprehensive industry assessment to validate our messaging and positioning strategies concerning tokenized equities.
Following the launch of the 2026 roadmap, we have resumed the evolution of the Reef visual identity. This initiative includes the creation of fresh graphics designed to drive the brand forward. On the business side, we have completed research to identify the most suitable VCs to contact regarding a potential equity offering.
In other news, the website https://t.co/gguktnr1BA has been updated with revised copy that emphasizes the new positioning of Reef. We also reached out to all our partner CEXs to request updates to their company descriptions and blurbs about Reef, and several platforms have already completed these updates.

An exciting evolution is underway at Reef. To align with our strategic vision for 2026, we have overhauled our website to spotlight our primary mission of transitioning Real World Assets on-chain. We are currently developing the foundational infrastructure to enable a future of tokenized everything, including assets ranging from commodities and real estate to securities. We invite you to explore our new platform at https://reef.io/
It is not necessary for every network to introduce a novel philosophy. In many instances, the primary need is simply to lower the barriers that stand in the way. This focus on minimizing obstacles is the precise reason for the existence of Reef.
We are pleased to announce the completion of our first token burn for the year 2026. In this latest operation, we successfully removed 35.8M REEF from circulation on Ethereum, alongside a reduction of 9M REEF on the BNB Smart Chain.
You can verify the proof of burn through the transaction details provided below:
Following this event, updated statistics as of 4 February 2026 indicate that 37.47% of the total REEF supply on Ethereum and 64.12% of the supply on BNB Chain have now been burnt.

We launched our yearly activities by holding our first AMA, during which we reviewed our milestones from 2025 and shared insights into our trajectory for 2026.
Work on Deep Current continues through the combined efforts of Antier Solutions and our internal developers. Please see the dedicated section below for specific details on this project.
Our recently hired Developer Relations staff and Social Media Manager have successfully integrated into their roles and are actively creating new materials.
For internal testing purposes, we have released version 1.0.7 of the Reef Chain Wallet. This update incorporates a significant restructuring of the code to enhance stability and address several minor security vulnerabilities we identified.
We are currently refreshing our marketing strategy, which includes revising website text, refining our core messaging, and redefining our target audience. You will begin seeing these adjustments roll out over the coming week.
Additionally, we are assessing prospective partners that fit our technology stack, specifically prioritizing those that support the objectives outlined in the Reef 2026 roadmap.
Deep Current Development Status
We have encountered a technical issue with the most recent Polkadot SDK release involving the 1:1 mapping of REEF amounts up to 18 decimal places. To address this, we have provided the Polkadot Foundation with access to our code repository so they can replicate and repair the error. While we wait for a resolution from Polkadot, we are consulting with Antier regarding potential temporary solutions. As soon as this issue is rectified, Deep Current will immediately advance to the testnet phase.
The value of low fees extends beyond simple financial savings to fundamentally shifting user habits. When the cost of a click is kept affordable, individuals are far more likely to genuinely engage with applications. https://reef.io/

Following extensive internal discussions regarding the current L1 landscape and the future of our ecosystem, our team has identified a major opportunity for Reef to define the next era of blockchain technology.
We are ready to move beyond the label of being âjust another L1.â
Reef is evolving into a tokenized equity platform centered on the real ownership of real world assets (RWAs). We are prioritizing assets such as real estate, sports clubs, agriculture, and private credit, ensuring they are accessible to regular people.
