What institutional staking buyers should verify
Review supported networks, validator uptime, slashing-protection approach, custody integrations, reporting, API coverage, validator geographic distribution, insurance posture and governance participation before shortlisting.
Custody workflow
Institutions often need non-custodial or custody-integrated staking rather than retail staking flows.
Reporting and controls
Finance teams need reward reporting, audit trails, tax exports and operational transparency.
