Development Update 019/09/2025
Zed again. Limit Orders went live only yesterday: a milestone upgrade that shifted PineappleDEX from “Lite” into a fully-fledged DEX. With Limit Orders now in the hands of the community, we’re already building out the next wave of functionality that pushes Pineapple ahead of both DEX and CEX competitors. From Stop Loss & DCA to cross-chain swaps, advanced charting, Spectre AI integration, and even RWA assets via ZIGChain - the next wave is already in motion.
Let’s dive in.
LIMIT ORDERS: WHAT’S NEXT?
Community testing is already proving the power of precision trading on Pineapple, and we’re moving quickly on the next set of features to extend Limit Orders:
- ETH / WETH Pairs: Smooth chart switching and re-enabled support.
- BASE & BSC Limit Orders: Expanding coverage beyond Ethereum mainnet.
- Guided ETH Swap Flow: WETH conversion built in with a user-friendly popup.
- Stop Loss & DCA Orders: Risk management and position building tools traders expect.
- Shareable Trades: Publish and showcase your setups to the community.
- Guides & Tooltips: Continuous education baked directly into the product.
CHARTING UPGRADES
The charting layer is being upgraded with new tools and more flexibility:
- Active order lines displayed on your chart.
- Advanced chart tools, allowing traders to plot Fibonacci levels and more.
- Scalable full-screen chart/trade list (DEX Screener style), with mobile slide-out swap section.
- Expanded desktop charting area for serious traders.
- Chart memory to save your setups.
- Price & fill notifications, sent via app or email.
PLATFORM EVOLUTION
Beyond Limit Orders and charts, development continues across the entire ecosystem:
- Spectre AI transaction list with real-time table & chart updates.
- RWA assets coming to PineappleDEX via ZIGChain.
- More chains, cross-chain swaps, and routing improvements.
- Sliced Insights: sharper analytics for token pages.
- A custom “New to Crypto” onboarding solution, designed to guide first-time traders from fiat to their first swap with minimal friction.
THE MISSION CONTINUES
Work continues in parallel on JuicedBot V2, which will play a key role in onboarding and volume growth across Telegram communities. And of course, the first Pineapple Express launch announcement is about to drop - so keep your eyes peeled and your PAPPLE staked.
See you next week, with even more to unlock.
--------------------
Development Update 05/09/2025
Hey everyone, Zed here, back again with another big one. It’s been just two weeks since we shipped our last major upgrade: bringing social logins, fiat on-ramp, MEV protection, and much more to the DEX. Now, we’re preparing to ship our biggest upgrade to date: limit orders. But the launch of limit orders means much more than just a new feature - it marks the end of Pineapple DEX Lite, and kickstarts our rollout of our fully fledged DeFi ecosystem.
LIMIT ORDERS
Limit orders are already live in community testing, and after a few refinements based on user feedback, we’ll be ready to deploy these imminently as the first unlock of JuicedMode.
Pineapple DEX limit orders bring CEX-style precision into DeFi - traders can set exact buy or sell prices, add expiry dates to control execution windows, or use percentage trails to protect downside and capture upside. Most DEXs only offer percentage-based orders through third-party contracts, which can be clunky and unreliable. Pineapple’s are built directly into the DEX in a way that mirrors the interface of a centralised exchange, combining price-based and percentage logic in one interface.
This creates new opportunities for Pineapple DEX users: set entries without babysitting charts, place exits with clear timeframes, and manage risk using tools normally only found on centralised platforms.
NEW UTILITY UNLOCKS
$PAPPLE stakers already enjoy great perks, including 15% APY, exclusive access to new launches, and more. But next week we’re rolling out something special: a private Discord server for Inner Circle and Penthouse Elite tier members. This space will give our closest supporters direct lines to the team and early access to what we’re building.
Members will receive:
- First access test new features
- Direct access to the C-suite team
- Special perks tied to events and collaborations
- Early alpha drops before anyone else
If you’re serious about being first in line for new features or want closer involvement with Pineapple, this is the group you’ll want to be part of. Unlike our larger Telegram community, this will be a tighter-knit hub where conversations flow directly between the team and our most committed stakers. This is just the start of the broader utility we’re building for the token - with much more to be announced in the coming weeks to make PAPPLE spendable at 38 million retailers.
FURTHER UPDATES
Alongside the big-ticket items, our devs have been rolling out smaller, but impactful, improvements designed to improve the experience and prepare for upcoming launches:
- Compact mobile UI refinements ahead of Juiced Mode, ensuring seamless usability across devices
- Performance optimisations for faster loading times and quotes, keeping Pineapple competitive with the very best exchanges
- General UI polish, adding subtle tweaks to improve the overall user experience
These updates may seem incremental on their own, but together they sharpen the Pineapple experience and set the stage for what’s next.
THE MISSION CONTINUES
Our debut Pineapple Express launch is still locked for September. With materials finalised and partners fully aligned, all that remains is the countdown. We’re keeping the specifics under wraps for now, but make no mistake, this isn’t just another date on the roadmap. It’s the launch that marks Pineapple stepping into the next phase of the vision we’ve been building toward since day one.
COMMUNITY UPDATES
We’re changing things up for the next Development AMA. Instead of our usual live stream format, we’ll be bringing the AMA directly to our Telegram chat, giving everyone, including those who can’t join live, the opportunity to get their questions answered via text.
📅 Monday, 4 pm UTC
📍 Telegram
Ask your questions in response to this post. During the time of the AMA, we’ll reply accordingly and open up for live questions too. See you next week, with even more to unlock.
--------------------
Development Update 29/8/2025
Zed here. Last week was one of the biggest updates to PineappleDEX so far, as we rolled out version 1.5 with upgrades that make onboarding smoother, trading safer, and the platform more global than ever before:
- Seamless login via social accounts
- Fiat onramp
- MEV protection toggle
- Multi-currency selection
- Better asset discovery.
While the past few weeks have been about laying foundations, this one’s about unlocking them. From smarter trading, to exclusive access, to next-level utility, Pineapple keeps moving closer to the vision of onboarding the next wave of users into DeFi.
What we’re building is not just about shipping dev updates, it’s about expanding an ecosystem that connects millions of people across the globe. Whether it’s limit orders that match the CEX experience, staking tiers that turn access into influence, $PAPPLE evolving into a real-world currency, or a launchpad that brings new projects to life - every step is designed to bring Pineapple out of the DeFi niche and into the mainstream.
Here’s what’s coming up:
Limit Orders
We’ve finalized limit orders and we’ve done it the right way. Instead of the clunky setups you’re used to on DEXes, Pineapple’s system mirrors the precision and format of centralized exchanges. That means real control based on price levels, with seamless execution. BETA testers will be the first to try it next week before wider roll out.
Exclusive Access
If you’re in the higher staking tiers, your moment is almost here. Exclusive access to Pineapple HQ is about to go live:
- First rights to test new features
- Direct access to the C-suite team
- Exclusive perks with events and more
- Early alpha drops before anyone else
This level of access is reserved strictly for the Inner Circle and Penthouse Elite. You can stake $PAPPLE here to lock in your tier.
PAPPLE Utility
Staking $PAPPLE already provides holders with up to 15% APY and unlocks access to new token launches - but this utility is only the beginning of what the token is designed to achieve.
Behind the scenes, a major integration is being prepared that will take $PAPPLE far beyond the boundaries of Web3 and into the real world, opening the door to over 38 million retailers worldwide. What this means is that $PAPPLE is evolving from a token with strong in-ecosystem utility into one with genuine real-world adoption - a bridge between the digital economy we are building and the everyday transactions that define people’s lives.
Pineapple Express
Our very first Pineapple Express launch is locked in for September, and with the materials finalized and our partners fully aligned, the only thing left to do is count down the days until we can finally bring it to the community. We won’t spoil the details just yet, but what you should know is that this isn’t simply another drop on the calendar, it’s the moment we’ve been shaping everything around, the launch that signals Pineapple stepping into the next phase of what we came here to build.
From the upgrades of DEX v1.5 to the milestones this week and the September launch of Pineapple Express, the Pineapple machine is accelerating. This is the future we’ve been shaping - one that delivers more power, more adoption, and more reasons to be here early.
See you next week, with even more to unlock.
--------------------
Development Update 22/8/2025
This isn’t a dev update. It’s a DEX Update.
Zed again, back with something a bit different to our usual dev update. This week, we’re not just telling you what’s coming: we’re showing you what’s live - right now.
From the features you can see like MEV protection, social logins, and a fiat onramp that make onboarding seamless, to the infrastructure upgrades you can’t see like back-end refactoring and a multi-chain adapter, PineappleDEX has been evolving on every front.
Some updates are about making PineappleDEX more accessible. Others are about security, profitability, and usability. And beneath it all, the backend work unlocks something crucial: the ability to deliver these improvements, and future ones, faster than ever. The first wave is already live.
Let’s jump in.
Seamless login via social accounts
A crucial step in making DeFi accessible is letting people enter with the tools they already use. That’s why social login is now live: new users can onboard to PineappleDEX using pre-existing social accounts, with no seed phrases or complex setup required.
This isn’t just a feature, it’s the foundation of our onboarding strategy at upcoming events like Polaris, where Pineapple is the official exchange sponsor. It allows us to introduce thousands of new people to DeFi without the usual friction - and without losing them at the very first step.
Fiat onramp now live
Social login on its own isn’t enough. People also need a simple way to fund their account and start trading immediately. That’s where the fiat onramp comes in.
Now, newcomers can deposit directly with their local currency and buy crypto inside PineappleDEX. Combined with social login, this creates a truly seamless entry point: no prior crypto knowledge required.
This is how mainstream adoption happens - by stripping away unnecessary barriers and making DeFi usable for everyone, not just the already initiated.
MEV protection toggle
Every trader deserves to have their transactions executed at the price they signed up for. But on-chain trading is vulnerable to MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) - bots that reorder, insert, or manipulate transactions to extract profit. The most common examples are front-running and sandwich attacks, where your trade is detected in the mempool and exploited before it confirms.
The new MEV protection toggle shields users from this on PineappleDEX. When enabled, your transactions are routed privately to prevent exposure in the mempool, ensuring that what you see is what you get. That means trades settle at your intended price - not one manipulated by external actors.
Multi-currency selection
If Pineapple is going to power the next wave of adoption, it needs to be global. Our new multi-currency view lets users choose the denomination that makes sense for them - whether that’s USD, EUR, GBP, YEN, WON, INR, or more rolling out soon.
This upgrade is part of our broader push into new regions, including APAC, where Pineapple has already been active at events like CoinFest. As we prepare for upcoming developments and integrations, building local accessibility is key to making PineappleDEX a truly international platform.
Better asset discovery
Finding and managing tokens should feel intuitive. With our improved asset discovery, you can now search and track your favorite tokens in one place, with clearer labeling around which assets are team-trusted and verified.
This means less guesswork, more confidence, and a simpler experience for both new and experienced traders who want everything they need in one dashboard.
Improved UX across the DEX
Trading on Pineapple should feel clear, reliable, and seamless - no matter your experience level. Our latest UX improvements guarantee fresh quotes every block and smoother flows across asset management and trade execution.
For newcomers, this means a clearer interface that makes sense from the first click. For seasoned traders, it’s a faster, more consistent environment to execute strategies at scale, and for the best price.
What’s next?
All of these updates were made possible by a massive backend refactor - one that enables us to ship faster and iterate more quickly from here on out. And the next big feature on deck is a long-awaited one: Limit Orders. As we’ve shared in earlier updates, this unlocks the ability to set exact prices, control execution, and use more advanced trading strategies. It’s a core piece of making PineappleDEX the place to trade - whether you’re a casual user or a power trader.
But that’s just one part of the bigger roadmap. The Spectre AI integration is moving quickly, with intelligent trading signals and market data coming soon to token pages. JuicedMode is well underway, with advanced trading features like limit orders forming its foundation. JuicedBot V2 is in active rebuild, gearing up for a wide-scale rollout across Telegram communities. The first Pineapple Express launch is ready to go, with final timing tied to market conditions. And beyond that, stealth development is progressing on a new product layer designed to attract larger trades and high-net-worth users into the ecosystem. Add to that our ongoing regional push - from CoinFest Asia to new APAC market initiatives - and the path forward is clear: more integrations, more utility, and more users flowing into Pineapple at scale.
Test out our latest updates to see the difference for yourself.
--------------------
Development Update 8/8/2025
Zed here. If July was about delivery, August is about acceleration. From AI integrations to infrastructure upgrades to stealth product builds, the Pineapple machine is moving fast. Here’s what’s new this week.
JuicedMode: Phase One.
Phase One of our multi-phase JuicedMode rollout is officially underway, and we’re kicking it off with Spectre AI. In case you missed it, we’re working with the Spectre team to embed their proprietary research modules and data widgets directly into token pages across Pineapple DEX.
Coming soon, users will be able to explore any trending token or new launch and see:
- AI-generated market sentiment
- Gas fee analytics
- Fear & Greed indexes
- Influencer activity visualisations
- Other intelligent trading signals
It’s all about smarter trades, right where users need them: no third-party dashboards, no tab switching. Just context-aware data, directly in the DEX interface. Work is progressing rapidly to bring this to market.
DEX Upgrades and Infrastructure.
Development has begun on our new dual-layer limit orders system. This approach gives traders more control, automation, and optionality - making Pineapple DEX far more powerful for experienced users:
- Price-based orders let users define exact price points for buy/sell execution (ideal for sniping or securing precise entry/exit).
- Percentage-based orders auto-trigger when a token’s price moves by a set percentage from a reference price (great for trailing gains or managing downside).
Meanwhile, significant architecture refactoring is in full swing and on track for completion this week. These changes lay the groundwork for deeper routing, better performance, and more rapid iteration across the board.
Pineapple Express is Close.
Our first Pineapple Express launch is coming soon. Final materials are being prepped, and timing is everything. This token brings utility that’s rarely seen in the space, and the team behind it is both doxxed and well-experienced. It’s important we get this into the hands of our community ASAP, but also that we wait for optimal market conditions to maximize impact. Stay close. Launch day isn’t far off.
New Product in Stealth Mode.
Alongside ongoing DEX upgrades, the team has quietly started development on a brand-new product layer within Pineapple - one that opens up an entirely new use case and audience. We’re keeping details close for now, but this marks step one in a larger plan to onboard high-net-worth individuals and whales into the Pineapple ecosystem. This feature is designed to support larger, more complex trades, with an emphasis on privacy, trustless settlement, and zero slippage - all within a secure and scalable on-chain environment.It’s built for power users, and it’s the first step in a broader product suite designed to bring serious volume and capital into Pineapple. More soon.
Scale, Decentralized.
Behind the scenes, we’re rethinking how growth happens. Our current sales and growth model is being restructured to become more decentralized - empowering the community to help scale Pineapple through clear incentives and transparent contributions. We’ll share more soon, but the shift is already in motion.
And in Case You Missed It…
Other items mentioned in previous updates are progressing well in development: from email and social login options to simplify onboarding for newcomers, to the ongoing JuicedBot V2 rebuild, which now has a dedicated team focused on scaling across Telegram communities. The Pineapple team continues to grow, too: with two new hires this week alone - giving us even more firepower to move fast and ship big.
More coming. Faster delivery. Bigger plays. See you next week.
--------------------
Development Update 1/8/2025
Zed here, back again with the good stuff. July was huge, with staking, Pineapple DEX Lite, and Pineapple Express all being released. But if you thought that was something? Strap in - August is about to change the game. Let’s get into it.
JuicedBot
JuicedBot is getting a serious upgrade, now with its own dedicated dev team behind it. Work is already underway to overhaul the system, improve performance, and gear it up for a wide-scale rollout across thousands of Telegram groups. The goal: get JuicedBot into the hands of every active crypto community, with each one feeding real volume and new users back to Pineapple DEX. It’s a major step toward growing reach, usage, and greater rewards for PAPPLE stakers.
Pineapple Express
Our first Pineapple Express launch is ready to be announced - final launch materials are being wrapped up now and will be released very soon. And this one’s going to make an impact. It’s a highly skilled, experienced, and fully doxxed team with a revolutionary project that scales well beyond the crypto echo chambers. You won’t have seen token utility like this before - not in this format, and not this early. It’s a huge win for Pineapple to be launching a project of this scale and backing, and it’s a strong signal of what’s to come. Expect details to drop shortly.
Pineapple DEX
A few big changes are underway across the DEX:
- New wallet options are being implemented to make onboarding easier for crypto newcomers. Users will soon be able to connect using a social or email login, with a secure, non-custodial wallet created behind the scenes. It’s a major step toward making DeFi more accessible - and it lays the foundation for a huge real-world partnership announcement coming soon.
- JuicedMode is progressing well, and it’s being rolled out in stages. First up: limit orders, which will allow users to set custom buy/sell prices for more efficient trading - ideal for more experienced traders who want more control over execution.
- TokenSlice is also on the way - a new trading view that’ll include AI-generated charts, gas usage data, KOL activity bubbles, and sentiment indicators like fear & greed. It’s designed to help users make smarter, faster trading decisions directly from the swap interface.
Backend & Infra
Under the hood, we’ve made some big improvements:
- Multi-chain adapter work is underway. Once complete, it’ll allow us to add new chains much faster.
- AppKit has been upgraded for more flexibility across the frontend.
- Router infra is being improved to support better performance and deeper routing logic moving forward.
What’s Next
July was strong, but it’s just the beginning. Coming next, you’ll see:
- A real-world sponsorship with hundreds of millions of viewers annually.
- Multiple new partnerships across the web3 ecosystem.
- Continued DEX upgrades - including more seamless onboarding, JuicedMode, and TokenSlice.
- And the first official Pineapple Express launch: a high-utility token that sets the tone for the rest.
The Pineapple team has now grown to 23 full-time contributors across product, engineering, marketing, and partnerships: a huge step forward as we scale development, accelerate launches, and expand across ecosystems. More team members, more fire power to deliver.
We’ve got a month ahead. See you next week.

See you back here next week.
--------------------
Development Update 18/7/2025
Pineapple to the world: this wasn’t a quiet rollout. Pineapple’s launch reached millions: across social platforms, public spaces, ad campaigns, and partner channels:
- $PAPPLE has trended multiple times on CoinGecko, DEX Screener, Gecko Terminal, LunarCrush, and other social platforms, racking up millions of impressions. We’ve dominated your timelines - and now that we’re live, that momentum is only going to grow.
- Pineapple was live in Times Square - one of the world’s most iconic advertising spaces, seen by nearly half a million people daily. Just a taste of what the Pineapple marketing machine is capable of.
- In recent weeks, we’ve sponsored major athletes and sporting events like Polaris with global reach - putting Pineapple front and center on jerseys, social feeds, and stadium screens with over 50 million impressions. But we think you’re not even ready for what’s about to drop next.
- And of course, the crypto community has shown up too: with countless respected voices and trusted opinion leaders backing the future of $PAPPLE. And if you know Pineapple, you know there’s plenty more of these in the pipeline.
The common thread? Millions of eyeballs. Millions of impressions. Millions of people. Because Pineapple isn’t just building for web3 - we’re building for the masses.
Let’s jump into what we’ve been up to since launch:
Pineapple DEX Lite improvements: users now get better token prices, smoother UI, improved security, and key bugs have been fixed: including session errors and ETH transaction issues.
- Total changes: 46 files affected, with 796 additions and 353 deletions, across:
- Authentication consolidation: centralized auth files and logic for easier management and enhanced security.
- 0x API integration for specialty route support: delivering better quotes and improved token access when Pineapple Router isn’t optimal.
- Cere integration boost: improved tracking configs and events to better monitor user swaps and engagement.
- API standardization: uniform security updates across all API endpoints to ensure backend reliability.
- Frontend enhancements: refined UI components for seamless Cere support and smoother interactions.
- Bug fixes (reported via Pineapple Bug Bounty):
- Resolved the 100% ETH selling bug, ensuring accurate transaction processing.
- Fixed the multi-session bug to prevent session conflicts when multiple tabs are open.
Backend updates: the core infrastructure is stable, scalable, and production-ready. This means the platform can handle more users and collect better data without performance issues.
- Terraform setup is live and deployed on GCP for scalable ops.
- Custom indexer is fully implemented and now actively collecting data.
- Authentication systems are fully functional and battle-tested.
JuicedBot: JuicedBot is stable and expanding to V2. More developers and sales hires mean faster development and wider adoption - bringing more users and volume to Pineapple DEX.
- Team expansion: New developers being onboarded to expand development of JuicedBot V2, and the sales team is expanding significantly to scale adoption.
- Stability: JuicedBot stabilized with no recent issues.
The next product launch: a new product is launching less than two weeks after DEX Lite. It’s built to increase user activity, drive volume, and strengthen $PAPPLE’s value in the ecosystem.
- Significant work has been underway to prepare our next product launch on Monday. We won’t share any more details until then, but we’ll be unlocking a brand new solution designed to bring in new users, boost volume, generate revenue, and unlock even more rewards for $PAPPLE stakers. It’s a major step forward for $PAPPLE utility: opening new ways to earn, engage, and grow within the Pineapple ecosystem. If you know, you know - and if you don’t, you’re about to find out.
And after that? We’re laser-focused on the following: more web3 partnerships, brand sponsorships, DEX features, and product utility are coming- each aimed at growing usage and pushing more rewards back to $PAPPLE holders.
- New partnerships and integrations in the web3 space. These integrations are focused on one thing: driving more volume and revenue across the ecosystem. That translates directly to higher ecosystem revenue - and higher staking rewards for $PAPPLE holders. The more usage we drive, the more value flows back to stakers. It’s as simple as that.
- New partnerships and sponsorships in the real world. These are aimed at bringing new eyes to Pineapple en masse: some from industries you would expect, and some you wouldn’t.
- New utility: each new product launch will unlock new utility for holders and stakers. We’ll be
- New features on Pineapple DEX, such as:
- Token Slice: displaying advanced token audits and other key metrics to help you make more informed trades
- AI integration: AI agent observes your trading habits and optimizes your portfolio according to your risk-profile for increased ROI
- Multi-chain bridge: as well as supporting multi-chain bridging between the major chains, Pineapple has first-to-market agreements in place with several emerging chains
- Juiced Mode: advanced trading options such as limit orders, visible order books, and much more
Everything we’re building - product launches, platform upgrades, new features, backend infra, JuicedBot, partnerships - is about scaling the Pineapple ecosystem to benefit everyone in it. More users, more volume, more partnerships: all of it feeds back into $PAPPLE. More activity means more rewards for stakers, more utility for holders, and a better experience on-chain. Monday’s launch is the next step, and we’re still just getting started.
See you back here next week.
