The challenge

Running validators at scale is a full-time job

Validators never switch off, and mistakes are costly. Missed attestations mean missed rewards, and errors can lead to slashing penalties.

Operations never stop

Provisioning, client upgrades, monitoring and incident response continue for the life of every validator, and multiply with every network you add. That takes specialist expertise and always-on attention.

Keys and slashing are high-stakes

Validator keys control the stake, and signing errors can trigger slashing. Keys need to be kept apart from the nodes that do the validating, with controls that prevent mistakes.

Reporting needs its own infrastructure

Tracking rewards, uptime and compliance-ready records across many validators and networks takes purpose-built data pipelines, so finance and audit teams get consistent numbers.

Providers are hard to assess

Risk and compliance teams need a consistent way to judge a staking provider across slashing prevention, key management, validator diversity, operational security and business continuity.

How Blockdaemon solves it

Operated. Secured. Reported.

Institutional-grade validator operations, secure key handling and audit-ready reporting, delivered on the Blockdaemon Institutional 360 Platform.

Validators

Full validator lifecycle managed by Blockdaemon across eligible proof-of-stake networks, including ETH, SOL and others, with 24/7 monitoring. On Ethereum, validators run on Distributed Validator Technology. White-label available.

Secure remote signing

Validator keys are held in a dedicated remote signing service, apart from the validator nodes.

Staking APIs & App

Programmatic access to staking across leading protocols through one API, or a ready-to-use app to manage positions and rewards directly.

Staking reporting

Reward distributions, historical rates, tax classifications and audit-ready exports in one consistent format, so finance teams get the data without manual work.

Compliance

Verified by independent assessors

Institutional due diligence needs evidence. Our staking operations are independently assessed, so your risk and compliance teams can rely on documented assurance.
