Blockdaemon Launches Earn Stack for Institutional DeFi and Staking

Blockdaemon, a prominent provider of institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure, has unveiled Earn Stack, a comprehensive non-custodial service designed to offer decentralized finance (DeFi) yield farming and Proof of Stake (PoS) staking across more than 50 protocols. This new service is tailored to provide institutions with secure and compliant staking and DeFi solutions, addressing the growing demand for trusted partners in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

The launch of Earn Stack comes at a critical juncture when regulatory clarity is increasingly important for businesses navigating the complexities of on-chain staking. Recent guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on non-custodial staking solutions has underscored the need for secure, non-custodial staking options. Blockdaemon's Earn Stack meets this demand by offering a platform that combines high-performance staking rewards, 100% slashing protection, and seamless DeFi integration through institutional-grade APIs. This allows institutional clients to access leading Ethereum and Solana staking rewards, along with DeFi opportunities across lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, and automated market makers.

The Earn Stack includes several key features to cater to diverse integration needs. The No-Code Widget allows platforms to embed staking and DeFi capabilities in minutes with a single integration, providing instant access to multi-chain, multi-protocol opportunities without the complexity of building or maintaining infrastructure. The widget is fully customizable and scalable, giving teams complete control over supported protocols, branding, and parameters, while Blockdaemon handles the backend operations.

Underpinning the Earn Stack are Blockdaemon's powerful and flexible APIs. The Unified SDK and Low Latency APIs simplify access to the entire API suite for Staking and DeFi, allowing for deeper customization and control over the user experience. DeFi Connect, a stack of low latency APIs, aggregates liquidity and pricing data from leading decentralized exchanges, automated market makers, and cross-chain bridges. This provides developers, traders, exchanges, and institutions with consolidated access to lending, borrowing, and swap opportunities across multiple protocols through a single integration point. The Staking API offers standardized, intent-based access to staking across all leading PoS protocols, while the Staking Reporting API provides high-fidelity, epoch-level streaming data to track rewards accurately.

Blockdaemon's Earn Stack is designed for a range of clients, including wallet providers, custodians, and fintechs. By offering a complete suite of crypto earn opportunities in a compliant manner, the service aims to enhance customer engagement and provide a secure and reliable platform for institutions to participate in the DeFi ecosystem. This launch follows Blockdaemon's acquisition of leading API provider expand.network in March 2025, further strengthening its position as a full-stack infrastructure provider in the digital asset space.

The introduction of Earn Stack underscores Blockdaemon's commitment to providing institutional-grade infrastructure that offers regulatory clarity, full asset control, and operational flexibility. With its ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 compliance, Blockdaemon ensures the highest operational standards, making it a trusted partner for institutions seeking to navigate the complexities of staking and DeFi. The company emphasizes its focus on institutional clients, stating that it has obtained ISO 27001 network security certification and complies with SOC 2 customer data management standards. Founder Konstantin Richter stated that the platform enables one-click integration of multi-chain staking and DeFi features through institutional-grade APIs, along with customized API services such as liquidity aggregation, standardized staking access, and yield tracking.
