Welcome to the October edition of the Blockdaemon Bulletin.
The market has grown fast with Ethereum’s move to Proof-of-Stake and clearer rules in the U.S. The Institutional Staking Landscape report covers institutional staking trends, regulatory updates, and competitive dynamics. Institutions want clear, reliable rewards with real controls. This report shows the models, the tools, and the trade-offs. The full report is available from Blockworks Research.
Not all validators are equal. Our latest blog outlines four key factors for institutional staking: fees, performance, security, and ethos. Learn how Blockdaemon applies these on Aptos with 99.99% performance and 0% commission. Read the Blog.
We’ve partnered with Aave Labs to expand secure, institutional access to DeFi lending markets. This collaboration strengthens our Earn Stack, enabling seamless movement of staking rewards and idle balances into Aave’s trusted lending protocols. Find Out More.
Blockdaemon expands ETH staking through Lido’s Curated Module with Obol Distributed Validators, which enhances security, resilience, and decentralization for institutions. Discover the Integration.
Alexandre Karlov, Blockdaemon's Director, Cryptography and Security Engineering, explains how MPC transaction governance and validation scales out the single point of trust in his latest blog.
