Everstake, a leading staking provider trusted by institutional and retail participants worldwide, has partnered with Utila, the institutional infrastructure platform for digital asset operations. The collaboration aims to make staking more accessible, efficient, and secure for institutional players, with the first phase focused on Solana staking.
Unlocking Institutional Access to Staking
Staking lies at the core of many blockchain ecosystems, empowering their security, decentralization, and long-term sustainability. That said, for institutional participants, entering this space has often been constrained by technical hurdles, security risks, and a lack of cohesive, enterprise-grade tools.
Utila addresses this by integrating staking into the same console already used by institutions and enterprises to manage and scale their digital asset operations. With MPC wallets, policy controls, and APIs, Utila makes it seamless for institutions to embed staking within their current workflows.. Utila’s infrastructure is trusted by over 200 firms processing more than $15+ billion in monthly transactions.
Thanks to this collaboration, Everstake’s validator infrastructure is now seamlessly embedded within Utila’s platform. This integration enables Utila’s clients, including asset managers, fintech firms, and stablecoin issuers, to stake Solana (with additional networks to follow) directly within their familiar operational workflows, eliminating the need to switch between systems.
Why This Partnership Matters
The partnership between Everstake and Utila closes a crucial gap in the institutional adoption of proof-of-stake networks such as Solana and Ethereum. While staking strengthens these ecosystems and provides valuable incentives, institutional players have historically faced significant obstacles ranging from operational complexity and security risks to difficulties connecting with treasury infrastructure.
By merging Everstake’s proven expertise in validator operations with Utila’s enterprise-level platform, these barriers are effectively removed. Institutions can now access staking through the same trusted environment they already rely on for custody, treasury management, and tokenization.
A Strong Foundation for Institutional Staking
This collaboration reflects a broader movement toward institutional-grade staking infrastructure. Together, Everstake and Utila are expanding access to secure, compliant staking solutions for organizations managing billions in digital assets, thus bringing decentralized network participation closer to the standards of traditional finance.
“Staking is becoming a core digital-asset operation for forward-thinking institutions,” said Bohdan Opryshko, Co-Founder and COO of Everstake. “Together with Utila, we’re aligning decentralized yield generation with the same operational discipline and compliance standards that institutions already apply to custody and settlement — turning staking into a natural extension of existing infrastructure.”
“Institutions are asking how to make their balance sheet productive without adding complexity. By integrating Everstake into Link, we’ve turned native yield into part of the existing treasury workflow—same console, same controls, no engineer overhead. One governed process now unlocks staking across multiple networks, making yield generation for institutions as streamlined and scalable as settlements or payouts,” says Bentzi Rabi, Co-Founder and CEO of Utila.
Conclusion
With Solana staking already live and other networks on the horizon, the partnership between Everstake and Utila is set to streamline access, enhance security, and expand opportunities for institutions seeking exposure to staking.
As the staking ecosystem continues to mature, collaborations like this will play a key role in scaling adoption.
