Staked

Staked is a leading non-custodial staking infrastructure provider for institutional cryptocurrency investors, founded in 2018 and acquired by Kraken in December 2021. The company operates highly available, secure, and cost-effective block production nodes for decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols on behalf of institutional clients including exchanges, custodians, investment funds, and wallets.

Core Products/Services

Staked's primary offering is institutional-grade, non-custodial staking-as-a-service, supporting 45+ live PoS assets including Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche, Tron, Polygon, Tezos, and many more. The platform enables clients to earn optimal staking rewards while retaining full control of their keys and funds. Staked also provides a Developer API suite that allows exchanges, custodians, wallets, and dapps to power their own staking offerings programmatically, including a node provisioning API and a reporting API providing block-level metadata going back to genesis.

Key Strengths

Staked's technical infrastructure was designed from the ground up for active network participation. The company uses Kubernetes to distribute workloads across five cloud providers with automated failover, and has implemented proprietary double-signing prevention software. No Staked customer has ever lost funds due to slashing. The platform delivers institutional-grade, multi-asset, block-level reporting with complete transaction records. Staked's laser focus on yield optimization, particularly for Ethereum, allows it to consistently outperform competitors on execution layer rewards. The team has a proven track record from companies such as IAC/InterActiveCorp, Vimeo, and Y-Combinator-backed ventures.

Notable Clients/Projects

Staked serves leading exchanges, custodians, investment funds, and wallets. Over $10 billion in assets have been staked through the platform across 35+ networks. The infrastructure has been audited and diligenced by security and devops teams at leading protocols, exchanges, and custodians. Kraken's acquisition in 2021 further validates Staked's position as a best-in-class institutional staking provider.

Why Choose Staked

Staked offers a fully non-custodial model, meaning clients retain control of their private keys at all times—either via self-custody or through a third-party custodian. Its broad asset support (45+ PoS networks), combined with optimized yield generation, simplified multi-asset reporting, and 24/7 client support via email, chat, or phone, makes it a comprehensive staking partner for institutional crypto investors. The platform also provides turnkey staking-as-a-service for exchanges and custodians looking to offer staking products to their own customers without building infrastructure from scratch.
