Blockdaemon Launches ‘Earn Stack’ to Power Institutional-Grade Staking and DeFi Access
As institutional crypto adoption accelerates, so does the demand for compliant, scalable, and secure infrastructure. Enter Blockdaemon’s new Earn Stack—a turnkey solution combining top-tier staking services with deep DeFi access, built specifically for institutions navigating today’s complex regulatory and technical landscape.
Announced today, the Blockdaemon Earn Stack integrates staking across 50+ blockchain protocols with access to a growing number of DeFi pools, liquidity bridges, and lending protocols—all delivered in a non-custodial, regulation-aware framework.
At a time when the SEC is sharpening its focus on staking models—particularly non-custodial ones—Blockdaemon’s stack addresses both performance and compliance in one go.
“Crypto-native institutions and protocol developers demand infrastructure that offers regulatory clarity, full asset control, and operational flexibility,” said Konstantin Richter, CEO and Founder of Blockdaemon. “The Earn Stack delivers exactly that—along with top-tier rewards, slashing protection, and seamless DeFi integration.”
What’s Inside the Earn Stack?
Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack isn’t just another staking wrapper—it’s a full suite built for serious operators. Here’s what institutions get:
🔹 Non-Custodial Staking
- Secure, slashing-protected staking across leading proof-of-stake networks (e.g., Ethereum, Solana).
- Fast deployment via Blockdaemon’s node infrastructure.
- Intent-based, standardized access through a Staking API—no complex node setup needed.
🔹 Institutional DeFi Access
- Via DeFi Connect, Earn Stack APIs aggregate liquidity and pricing data across DExs, AMMs, and cross-chain bridges.
- Institutions can lend, borrow, or swap assets across protocols—all through one interface.
🔹 No-Code and Developer-First Tools
- Embeddable Widget: Add staking and DeFi to any platform with a customizable no-code widget. Perfect for wallets, fintechs, and custodians looking to move fast.
- Unified SDK + Low-Latency APIs: For platforms that want control over UI/UX, the Earn Stack SDK simplifies integrations, backed by real-time data feeds.
- Staking Reporting API: High-fidelity, epoch-level data for institutional-grade accounting and performance tracking—critical for managing validator fleets.
Compliance Baked In
One of Earn Stack’s key differentiators is its regulatory readiness. In a post-SEC-guidance world, institutions need clear-cut models. Blockdaemon’s approach—non-custodial, infrastructure-only, and standards-driven—lets clients avoid entanglements without sacrificing functionality.
Certifications like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 also bolster the platform’s credentials with compliance officers and risk managers who need to tick all the boxes.
Who This Is For
The Earn Stack is built to serve a wide ecosystem of players, including:
- Wallet providers looking to offer in-app staking or DeFi access
- Custodians seeking to expand client services without taking on custody risk
- Fintechs launching yield features or DeFi integrations
- Exchanges and asset managers seeking real-time, integrated staking and reporting
In March 2025, Blockdaemon acquired expand.network, a DeFi API provider—laying the foundation for this product rollout and signaling a clear push into full-stack digital asset infrastructure.
A One-Stop Earn Engine
The pitch is clear: instead of cobbling together staking platforms, bridge integrations, and DeFi APIs, Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack puts everything in one compliant, developer-friendly package.
In an environment where institutions can’t afford risk, speed, or vendor sprawl, this launch could solidify Blockdaemon’s position as the go-to back-end for serious crypto infrastructure.
As competition grows across staking platforms and DeFi access layers—from Coinbase Cloud to Figment—Blockdaemon is doubling down on composability, performance, and trust.
