Institutional Staking & Collateralized Yield

Ceffu's institutional yield solutions enable institutions to generate returns on digital assets held in cold storage through native proof-of-stake delegation, Ethereum liquid staking, and collateralized trading - all without sacrificing custody security.

Native Staking from Cold Storage

Ceffu's native staking mechanism allows institutions to delegate digital assets directly to blockchain validators participating in proof-of-stake consensus, all while assets remain secured in Ceffu's Qualified Wallet cold storage. This maintains cold storage security while enabling staking participation.

The platform provides direct gateway access to node validators on supported networks. Institutions can stake assets without intermediaries, maintaining full transparency of validator selection and performance.

Supported Networks and Assets

Ceffu currently supports native staking on Solana (SOL), Injective (INJ), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), and A Protocol (VAULTA). Each network has different validator sets, reward rates, and unbonding periods. Institutions retain complete autonomy over validator strategy with flexibility to select specific validators based on performance history, commission structure, and geographic distribution.

Ethereum Liquid Staking

For Ethereum, Ceffu offers liquid staking through integration with Binance Earn. Institutions stake ETH and receive WBETH (Wrapped Beacon ETH) or stETH liquid staking tokens in return. These tokens represent the staked ETH position plus accumulated rewards and can be used as collateral, traded, or deployed in DeFi protocols while the underlying ETH continues earning staking rewards.

MirrorRSV: Collateralized Trading from Cold Storage

MirrorRSV enables institutions to access Binance margin and futures trading using their cold storage assets as collateral, without moving those assets out of custody. Institutions pledge assets held in Ceffu's Qualified Wallet cold storage as collateral and receive representative tokens that can only be used in Binance Portfolio Margin accounts for trading purposes.

The original collateral assets never leave Ceffu's segregated cold storage wallets, remaining visible on-chain at their dedicated custody addresses for full transparency and verification. This unlocks 100% capital efficiency - long-term holdings and tokenized real-world assets can generate trading capital without being sold or moved.

Real-World Asset Support

MirrorRSV's support for tokenized RWAs as collateral is a key differentiator, currently supporting BUIDL (BlackRock's tokenized money market fund), USYC (Hashnote's yield-bearing stablecoin backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries), and cUSDO (Ondo Finance's tokenized note secured by short-term U.S. Treasuries). This enables institutions to use low-volatility, yield-bearing tokenized securities as trading collateral, combining TradFi yield with crypto trading capital efficiency.

Security Through MPC

All yield operations leverage Ceffu's multi-party computation technology. Assets remain in MPC-secured cold storage throughout the staking and collateralization lifecycle. This contrasts with solutions requiring assets to be moved to less secure hot wallets for yield participation.

Use Cases

Institutional yield solutions serve clients with long-term PoS token holdings seeking yield, treasury operations optimizing idle asset returns, institutions with permanent cold storage positions wanting trading capital, RWA holders seeking yield enhancement, and regulated entities requiring segregated custody while accessing yield opportunities.
