Staking Facilities

What Staking Facilities does

Staking Facilities is a Munich, Germany-based non-custodial staking infrastructure provider founded in 2017 that operates validator nodes across eight proof-of-stake blockchain networks: Solana (its primary focus), Ethereum, Aptos, Celestia, Chainlink, DoubleZero, Monad, and Sui. The company secures over $1B in staked assets using a vertically integrated stack that it owns outright, from bare-metal servers to a private fiber network spanning more than 8,000 kilometers, engineered for sub-millisecond latency and high-throughput consensus participation. Its commercial offering also includes custom block building and MEV optimization with guaranteed block inclusion and lightspeed execution for institutional and trading counterparties.

The firm monetizes through commission fees calculated as a percentage of gross staking rewards on supported networks; fee percentages are listed on the website and disclosed during the staking process via integrated wallet software, and all fees include statutory VAT. Distribution is hybrid: a direct enterprise sales motion with same-day partner response and 24/7 coverage for critical infrastructure is combined with self-serve non-custodial delegation flows accessed through wallet integrations, enabling the firm to serve institutions, traders, and protocols from a single infrastructure base. The legal entity is Staking Facilities Services GmbH & Co. KG, represented by its general partner Staking Facilities Verwaltungs GmbH under Managing Director Wolfgang Albrecht.

Staking Facilities describes itself as independent and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investors, VC backers, or parent entity, and emphasizes value-aligned partnerships in which it stakes and holds the tokens of the protocols it validates while participating in active governance. A 20+ person specialist team supports both validator operations and bespoke infrastructure engineering, and the company maintains marketing and developer-relations presence via its website, Twitter/X, Telegram, LinkedIn, and Medium blog.
