From Bitcoin ETFs to $TRUMP, the mainstream is finally paying attention. The first point of entry is typically easy-to-use CEXs, but these contradict the decentralized ethos this industry was built on. Most don’t have much choice though, as DeFi is still too fragmented for mainstream adoption. Token projects juggle launchpads, DEXs, bots, and dashboards in order to launch, grow, and retain users: slowing growth and splitting communities. Traders bounce between tools to discover, trade, stake, learn, and engage: causing drop-off, friction, and fatigue. But mass adoption of DeFi won’t come from another overly complicated tool for degens - it needs an experience that’s powerful, unified, and easy enough for the next billion users.
That’s Pineapple: the first end-to-end DeFi ecosystem that’s planning to unify the entire on-chain journey. Projects can be built from the ground up with end-to-end infrastructure: incubation, liquidity, staking, social and on chain-engagement, and more. Traders get early access to high-potential tokens, low-fee trading, incentivized learning, reward activation, and automated strategies - all in one simple to use platform. Each tool in our stack is powerful on its own, but together, they’re transforming the fragmented experience into one seamless, powerful ecosystem: one where projects grow, users thrive, and the barriers to DeFi entry are finally broken.
One token and four core products sit at the heart of Pineapple:
$PAPPLE isn’t just a token.
It’s the key to the entire Pineapple ecosystem. It powers access, boosts rewards, and deepens participation across everything we’re building. Our staking model is different by design:
- It’s non-inflationary: rewards come from ecosystem revenue, not from minting new tokens
- It’s sustainable: built for long-term value, not short-term pumps
- And it does more than just earn you yield - it earns you status, access, and airdrops
Our non-inflationary staking model doesn’t just earn you yield (up to 15% APY). When you stake, you enter the Pineapple VIP system: a point-based model that reflects both your contribution and commitment. The more you stake, and the longer you lock it up, the more points you earn and the higher your tier.
These points determine your access tier, with each level unlocking deeper perks across the platform, including priority access to Pineapple Express token launches and guaranteed allocations, to exclusive airdrops, VIP-only rewards, and future protocol-level perks. And with even more utility coming soon, $PAPPLE holders will continue to gain from every new layer Pineapple launches. Test it out now using our staking calculator.
Pineapple DEX isn’t just a DEX.
It’s a multichain aggregator with the lowest fees, smart routing, staking, and so much more to come. This starts with Pineapple DEX Lite, a lean version of our upcoming full-stack DEX:
- No platform fees whatsoever: Uniswap and others take a cut, Pineapple doesn’t.
- Instant chain switching: flip between Ethereum, Base & BNB in one click. More coming very soon.
- Custom, state-of-the-art aggregator and router: own smart contracts that find the best trading path, supporting multiple hops.
- Efficient auto-slippage calculation: Pineapple simulates your trade in real time to find the exact slippage needed - reducing failed transactions and saving you on gas costs.
- Real simulations for the lowest gas prices: Pineapple automatically detects the minimum gas fee needed - no guesswork, no surprises.
- Manual priority-fee boost: Pineapple lets you crank up the priority fee if you need speed - Uniswap doesn’t give you that control.
- Responsive & animated UI: on both desktop and mobile, everything moves smoothly, no matter your device.
- Built-in user safety guards, such as:
- Slippage cap: Pineapple caps slippage at 20%, reducing user-error outcomes.
- Token-list filtering: while you can trade any token, we only show tokens from CoinGecko’s top 100 and our own vetted lists by default - no unvetted tokens will appear unless you deliberately import them yourself.
Both DEX Lite and the full release have been engineered to offer lower fees, faster execution, and multi-chain compatibility, while also integrating slippage control and gas optimisation to minimise user costs. The future is multichain, and so is Pineapple: expansion plans include over 20 chains upon full release, alongside real-time charting, limit orders, advanced audit-based token insights, AI portfolio rebalancing, and other sophisticated tools you won’t find on your average DEX.
Coming next:
- 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
Pineapple Express isn’t just a launchpad.
It’s an end-to-end, community-powered incubation platform for launching web3 tokens: designed to support both the teams building them and the communities backing them.
It gives founders the tools and support to scale, accelerate, and sustain our token with confidence - including incubation, token creation, whitelist systems, go-to-market execution, and community growth tools. No high fees, no fragmented workflows: just one platform to launch and grow, from idea to long-term adoption. And it gives users fair, transparent access to early-stage token launches - not through buy-ins or insider deals, but by staking, burning, or other on-chain activity. Participation earns access, rewards, airdrops, and long-term benefits that continue well beyond launch day.
JuicedBot isn’t just a Telegram bot.
It’s a full-stack community engine that turns engagement into on-chain volume. It tracks live buys and staking events and pipes them directly into project chats - creating instant social proof, FOMO, and momentum. Users don’t just talk: they click, buy, stake, and repeat.
Projects can launch quests, games, and loyalty campaigns inside our own Telegram, with activity directly tied to Pineapple DEX. Every trade JuicedBot generates routes through the DEX, creating consistent trading volume and a new revenue stream via affiliate-style commissions.
It also surfaces trending tokens, boosts discoverability, and will soon support ad placements - creating monetization opportunities for projects and Pineapple. A free version offers core functionality, while the premium version unlocks ad-free use, advanced gamification, and shared revenue from trading activity. JuicedBot isn’t just growing communities - it’s powering growth across the entire Pineapple ecosystem.
Pineapple Academy isn’t just an educational hub.
It’s a learn-to-earn gateway designed to onboard and empower the next wave of DeFi users. With AI-guided onboarding, gamified content, and rewards tied to on-chain actions, the Academy helps users move from curious to confident - and from first click to long-term holder.
By connecting education directly to the rest of the ecosystem via staking, trading, questing, and beyond, Pineapple Academy turns passive learners into active participants, and ensures every new user is set up for success in DeFi.
This isn’t a promise of what’s coming - every part of the Pineapple ecosystem mentioned above is already live and public today. From our multichain DEX to VIP staking, from upcoming token launches to JuicedBot-powered engagement, it’s real, working, and already driving value. But what you see now isn’t the final form by any means.
In a space that moves fast, iteration isn’t optional - it’s essential. Rather than building in a vacuum, we’re launching in sequence. This rollout strategy allows us to stay agile, respond to real usage, and build a product that actually meets the needs of the people using it - not just the people designing it. We’re still building, expanding, and refining - with new products, new features, new launches, and new chains on the way.
