Stakin

What Stakin does

Stakin is a non-custodial blockchain infrastructure provider for Proof-of-Stake networks, founded approximately in 2017–2018 and originally incorporated in Tallinn, Estonia. The company operates validator infrastructure across more than 40 blockchain networks (expanding to 81 for staking plus 2 restaking networks and 9 Web3 infrastructure projects) including Ethereum, Cosmos, Solana, Sui, Monad, Sei, and Bitcoin, and holds an AAA rating from Staking Rewards as well as ISO 27001 certification. As of January 2025, Stakin operates as part of The Tie Inc.'s Infrastructure Solutions division following an acquisition, with the New York office at 555 Madison Avenue serving as the combined headquarters.

The company's product portfolio centers on a self-serve non-custodial staking platform and a free tracking dashboard, augmented by enterprise modules including dedicated nodes, whitelabel validator services, ChainOps-as-a-Service for chain/rollup operations, slashing protection with contractual insurance, and custom API integrations. Underlying technology includes Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) implemented with Obol Labs and SSV Network, utilizing Shamir's Secret Sharing, Threshold Signature Schemes, Distributed Key Generation, and Multiparty Computation to reduce single-point-of-failure risk. Infrastructure spans geographically distributed servers with sentry nodes, HSMs, backup nodes, and 24/7 monitoring to deliver 99.9%+ uptime.

Stakin serves two primary customer segments: individual token holders (53,000 stakers) accessing staking rewards via the self-serve platform, and institutional crypto players including asset managers, company treasuries, exchanges, VCs, hedge funds, wallets, custodians, and liquid staking services requiring enterprise SLAs and dedicated infrastructure. Revenue is generated primarily through commission fees on staking rewards (e.g., 5% on the SEI network) supplemented by enterprise subscription contracts. Distribution combines product-led growth on stakin.com, an AAA-rated listing on Staking Rewards, direct enterprise sales, custodian channel partnerships (Anchorage, BitGo, Fireblocks), and whitelabel deployments for protocols and foundations.
