Introduction 

Colossus Digital is partnering with Stakin to deliver compliant, policy-controlled staking directly from institutional custody providers, keeping the entire signing process in custody. By combining the Institutional Hub with Stakin’s non-custodial, institutional-grade staking and multi-network infrastructure, institutions gain a custody-agnostic path to on-chain yield—with reliability, auditability, and scale. Stakin secures $1.5bn+ assets under delegation across 40+ networks for 53,000+ stakers, and is ISO/IEC 27001:2022–certified (Bureau Veritas), with 99.5%+ uptime, slashing protection/insurance, and enterprise services. 

About Colossus Digital 

Colossus Digital is a technical provider connecting custody and yield providers 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 custody and staking for the institutional market. 

About Stakin 

Stakin is a leading Web3 infrastructure provider and non-custodial staking service trusted by institutions and individual token holders. Stakin operates highly available validator nodes (99.5%+ uptime) across 40+ Proof-of-Stake networks including Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Aptos, and many more. 

In addition to staking, Stakin offers slashing guarantees, whitelabel and dedicated nodes, custom APIs, and integrations with top custodians. Stakin also operates decentralized infrastructure, including oracles, IBC relayers, and bridge nodes. 

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 Stakin’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.
