Stakin

Stakin is an institutional-grade Web3 infrastructure operator and non-custodial staking service provider, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. Now operating as part of The Tie Inc. following an acquisition, Stakin brings together a globally distributed team of blockchain engineers, DevOps specialists, and institutional sales professionals to deliver enterprise-ready staking and node infrastructure across 40+ Proof-of-Stake networks.

With over $1.5 billion in assets under delegation and more than 53,000 stakers, Stakin has established itself as one of the most trusted validator operators in the Web3 ecosystem. The company holds an AAA rating from Staking Rewards and is ISO 27001-aligned, providing institutional clients with the security guarantees and compliance documentation they require.

Core Products and Services

Stakin's primary offering is non-custodial staking across more than 40 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polygon, Polkadot, Sui, Aptos, Celestia, Monad, Bitcoin, and many more. Users retain full ownership and control of their assets at all times, with Stakin operating the validator infrastructure on their behalf.

For institutional clients — asset managers, family offices, exchanges, custodians, venture capital and hedge funds, and network foundations — Stakin provides a dedicated suite of enterprise services:

• Dedicated Nodes: Custom-deployed validator nodes tailored to specific client requirements including location, compliance, and performance objectives. Includes 24/7 monitoring, SLA agreements, and slashing protection insurance.
• Whitelabel Services: Fully managed branded validator nodes that allow clients to launch their own staking product under their own brand, with custom APIs and reporting.
• ChainOps-as-a-Service: Full-stack infrastructure management for clients launching their own blockchain, rollup, or dedicated network — covering sequencer hosting, validator bootstrapping, protocol upgrades, and governance support.
• IBC Relayers: Cross-chain connectivity services for the Cosmos ecosystem, relaying transactions across 26 chains and 124 chain pairs.
• Public RPCs: Free public RPC, REST, and gRPC endpoints for developers across networks including Axelar, Celestia, Cosmos, Osmosis, Sei, and Stride.
• Tracking Dashboard: A free non-custodial portfolio dashboard at dashboard.stakin.com for tracking staked assets, generating reports, and analysing staking performance.
• Custom API Services: Dedicated API endpoints for data, accounting, and staking purposes, built to integrate with client back-end requirements.

Key Strengths

Stakin operates a geographically distributed global infrastructure across 10+ bare metal and cloud providers, with sentry nodes, HSMs, backup nodes, and 24/7 live monitoring delivering 99.9%+ uptime. The company offers contractual SLA agreements and slashing protection insurance backed by its own company treasury and third-party insurance partnerships.

Beyond validation, Stakin actively participates in decentralised governance and DAO voting across supported networks, operates Chainlink Oracle infrastructure, and contributes cross-chain bridge infrastructure for projects such as deBridge.
