Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Figment Staking Services Agreement
On May 4, 2026, 21Shares Polkadot ETF (the “Trust”) entered into a staking services agreement with Figment Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Figment” and such agreement, the “Figment Agreement”), pursuant to which Figment will engage in staking in a manner reasonably intended to generate rewards and provide reports to the Trust showing the calculation of any rewards payable by the Polkadot Network to the Trust in connection with staking by Figment (the “Services”). The term of the Figment Agreement commenced on May 4, 2026 and continues in effect until terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Trust may stake and/or unstake DOT at any time in its sole discretion, subject to, respectively, bonding and unbonding periods imposed by the Polkadot Network. During any such bonding or unbonding period, DOT and rewards may be unavailable to the Trust and subject to other restrictions imposed by the Polkadot Network. Accordingly, to the extent such restrictions are imposed by the Polkadot Network, Figment shall not be obligated to perform the Services with respect such DOT. Figment may, in its sole discretion, discontinue operating validator nodes for the Polkadot Network at any time upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trust.
The Figment Agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice to the other party at any time and for any reason whatsoever. Each of Figment and the Trust must indemnify the other party and its affiliates and their respective representatives from all damages, excluding slashing penalties (other than those arising from or attributable to Figment’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct) and missed rewards incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any actual or threatened third-party claim arising from or in connection with (i) the indemnifying party’s breach of the Figment Agreement or (ii) where the indemnifying party is the Trust, any breach of any provision owing to the Trust’s clients and/or otherwise involving a client of the Trust, that is made in connection with the Figment Agreement, and is not materially attributable to, or grounded in any act or omission by, Figment. Except for a party’s indemnification obligations as described above, neither party’s aggregate liability for damages to the other party or any other person will exceed the service fees collected by Figment under the Figment Agreement during the six months prior to the initial event giving rise to the damages (the “Global Cap”). For slashing penalties, Figment’s aggregate liability is limited to the service fees collected by Figment under the Figment Agreement during the six months prior to the initial slashing penalty (the “Slashing Cap”). The Slashing Cap and Global Cap will not apply to any slashing penalties arising from or attributable to Figment’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. For missed rewards, Figment’s aggregate liability is limited to the service fees collected by Figment under the Figment Agreement during the three months prior to the initial missed rewards event (the “Missed Rewards Cap”). The Slashing Cap and the Missed Rewards Cap are included in, and not in addition to, the Global Cap, and the Global Cap, Slashing Cap, and Missed Rewards Cap are each cumulative for the duration of the term of the Figment Agreement and not per event.
The Trust’s sponsor, custodians and third party staking services providers, including Figment, are expected to receive 26.5% of the staking rewards, with the remainder being retained by the Trust.
The foregoing description is a summary, and does not purport to be a complete description, of the Figment Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Figment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
