Institutional staking just got a lot more intuitive. Everstake has partnered with io.finnet to bring non-custodial staking to Ethereum and Solana, as well as more directly through the MPC wallet infrastructure already used by funds and enterprises.
For institutions managing digital assets at scale, staking has long been an operational headache: separate interfaces, fragmented custody, unclear risk models. This integration solves that.
Why This Partnership Matters
Institutional staking shouldn’t require a workaround.
With this partnership, staking becomes a built-in feature of storing and managing digital assets with no additional platforms, asset transfers, or new security risks. It’s everything institutions need: simplicity, scalability, and complete control over their assets.
What is io.finnet?
Io.finnet is a digital asset platform built for institutions, not individuals, not hobbyists. At its core is a multi-party computation (MPC) wallet that allows firms to manage assets securely and without third-party custody. On top of that, io.finnet layers fiat settlement, Web3 access, a dApp store, real-time security logs, and now—native staking.
With over 1,500 institutional clients across North America, Europe, and Asia, io.finnet has quietly become one of the most trusted MPC platforms for funds, trading firms, and fintechs managing large digital asset portfolios.
How the Integration Works
Starting today, clients of io.finnet can stake ETH and SOL directly from their existing MPC wallet workflows or via API. Everstake provides the validator infrastructure under the hood—secure, high-performing, and battle-tested across 85+ networks.
There will be no new dashboards or custody changes. Instead, native staking support will be baked into the operational stack institutions already trust. Support for additional proof-of-stake assets is coming soon, with over 15 tokens in the pipeline.
Why Everstake?
Because performance, trust, and reliability matter.
With over 1,000,000 users and validator nodes across the most valuable PoS networks, Everstake is one of the most experienced infrastructure providers in the industry. Our systems are built to scale, audited for security, and trusted by both Web3 foundations and regulated financial entities.
That’s why io.finnet chose Everstake as its staking partner, and why we also use io.finnet to manage part of our own digital asset treasury.
Built for Institutions
This partnership unlocks what institutional clients have been asking for:
- Non-custodial staking without operational complexity
- On-chain participation without giving up security or compliance
- Scalable access without needing to build internal infrastructure
Whether you’re managing a crypto-native hedge fund or adding staking to a fintech product, this is a way to do it right without sacrificing control or introducing counterparty risk.
“As institutions increasingly seek to generate returns on their digital assets held in custody, staking has become a natural next step,” said Michael Cunningham, Head of Digital Assets at io.finnet. “By integrating Everstake’s robust validator infrastructure directly into our MPC workflows and APIs, we’re enabling clients to receive rewards with the same operational simplicity, control, and security they expect from io.finnet.”
What’s Next
Staking for Ethereum and Solana is just the start.
In the coming months, the partnership will expand across io.finnet’s token coverage, with support for more than 15 PoS assets, including high-demand networks used by institutions worldwide.
The integration also sets the stage for future innovation: staking stablecoins, programmatic treasury operations, and broader institutional strategies for on-chain participation—all without compromising self-custody or compliance.
