Introduction 

Colossus Digital has joined forces with Simply Staking to provide institutions with secure, policy-driven staking directly from their existing custody solutions, ensuring the entire signing process remains within custody. By integrating Simply Staking’s advanced, non-custodial infrastructure, into the Institutional Hub, institutions gain a streamlined, custody-agnostic route to on-chain yield that prioritizes reliability, transparency, and scalability.  Simply Staking manages over $1 billion in delegated assets across more than 30 networks, delivering robust validator performance, slashing protection, and enterprise-level support. Their infrastructure is engineered for high availability, security, and operational efficiency, making them a trusted partner for institutional staking solutions. 

About Colossus Digital 

Colossus Digital is a technical provider connecting custody and staking for institutions. Through the Institutional Hub, banks, asset managers, funds, foundations, exchanges, and other financial institutions can stake 20+ PoS assets to a validator of choice directly from their preferred custodian (e.g., Fireblocks, Ledger Enterprise, Dfns). 
The mission is simple: bridge the gap between asset holders and yield providers for the institutional market.

What this collaboration means 

Custody-native staking operationalized for institutions: 

• Execute under your controls: Crafting, approvals, and signing remain inside your custodian, inheriting MPC/HSM, whitelists, approvals, and velocity limits. 

• Validator excellence, by design: Access Simply Staking’s multi-network validator footprint with geographic redundancy, SLO/SLA-driven operations, and support for dedicated or white-label setups. 

• Standardized multi-chain workflows: One UI/API to stake, restake, redelegate, and manage rewards across supported networks—reducing operational risk and inconsistencies. 

• Compliance & evidence: Role-based access, tenant isolation, and exportable reports for internal audit and regulators. 

• Time-to-yield: Activate multiple networks and scale participation without bespoke builds. 

• Unlock capital in custody: Turn held PoS balances into on-custody yield without moving assets or diluting governance.
