Reading Time: < 1 minute
Gainr.ai today announced the acquisition of JanusDeFi, a research-led institutional DeFi infrastructure company specialising in AI-powered stablecoin engineering and tokenomics design. The move brings the JanusDeFi team, led by Dr Stylianos Kampakis, one of the earliest academic researchers in tokenomics, into the Gainr ecosystem as part of its expanding decentralised finance architecture.
The acquisition strengthens Gainr’s technical and research capabilities, integrates JanusDeFi’s AI-driven Stablecoin Factory into the Gainr Protocol, and supports the Gainr token pre-sale in early 2026.
Theo Koumis, Founder and CEO of Gainr.ai, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Dr Kampakis and the JanusDeFi team into Gainr. Their expertise in institutional tokenomics and AI-based stablecoin systems perfectly complements our mission to create a smarter, more transparent, and data-led financial ecosystem. This acquisition accelerates our ability to deliver innovative, compliant, and sustainable solutions for decentralised finance.”
Dr Stylianos Kampakis, CEO of JanusDeFi, added: “Joining Gainr allows us to scale our vision faster and with greater impact. We’ve spent years researching how AI can optimise financial systems, from stablecoin mechanisms to governance modelling. Within the Gainr ecosystem, those ideas can now move from lab to market. It’s a natural alignment of innovation, trust, and long-term purpose.”
Dr Kampakis is a PhD graduate from University College London, MSc from the University of Edinburgh, and advisor to the London Business School’s Data Science Department and will continue to lead on AI tokenomics strategy and institutional integration within Gainr’s expanded R&D division.
This acquisition advances Gainr’s roadmap to build a fully integrated decentralised ecosystem of combining AI, DeFi, and real-world asset infrastructure to deliver scalable, data-driven stability solutions.
