The Problem

Institutions want 7-8% yields from Solana staking, but they can't access it.

🏦

No Institutional Custody

Fiduciaries are required to use licensed custodians. Most staking solutions don't integrate with Fireblocks, BitGo, or other institutional-grade custody providers.

📋

Compliance Gap

No KYC/AML frameworks, no SOC2 audits, no proper reporting. Institutional compliance teams reject crypto without these standards.

🛡️

Reputational Risk

"Who runs this validator?" Anonymous operators are unacceptable for institutions managing endowments and pension funds.

📊

No Insurance

Slashing events, smart contract risks, operational failures — institutions need coverage that doesn't exist in current solutions.

02

Annual fee on AUM from institutional clients
Plus $50-100K setup fee per client
Validator Commission
0.19%
50% share of validator commission
(5% of ~7.5% staking rewards)
Combined: 0.59% = $5.9M per $1B staked annually
