Introduction
Institutional-grade staking at Blockdaemon
Blockdaemon provides institutional-grade staking infrastructure and APIs that make earning PoS rewards simple, secure, and reliable. The staking stack enables custodians, exchanges, asset managers, and fintechs to access compliant, scalable staking at scale without running any validators or nodes.
What you can build
With Blockdaemon’s staking products, you can:
- Stake assets like Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Polygon, NEAR, Cardano and more through standardized APIs instead of custom per‑chain integrations.
- Delegate to Blockdaemon validators while keeping full control of keys and withdrawal addresses via non‑custodial workflows.
- Track current and historical staking rewards, balances, and positions for your customers using dedicated reporting APIs.
- Integrate staking into your own apps, custody platforms, or back‑office systems using APIs, SDKs, and supported partners such as Fireblocks.
Example staking performance
Blockdaemon’s ETH staking has delivered a consistent rewards premium versus the CESR benchmark over twelve months.
Key components
- Blockdaemon validators: Professionally operated validators across 50+ proof‑of‑stake networks, delivering 99.9% protocol uptime, a consistent rewards premium versus network averages, and a strong track record of zero slashing events over rolling 12‑month periods.
- Staking API: A unified API to create, modify, and manage staking positions across supported proof‑of‑stake networks, abstracting away protocol‑specific complexity.
- Staking Reporting API: Endpoints to retrieve on‑demand stake and rewards data for addresses, validators, and plans, supporting financial reporting and reconciliations.
- Earn Stack: A non‑custodial, institution‑focused platform that unifies staking across many protocols with DeFi access, regulatory‑aware architecture, and slashing protection.
