In the fast-paced world of DeFi, staking has emerged as one of the most powerful ways to generate passive income from digital assets. But as the potential of blockchain grows, so do the demands on infrastructure and security. For institutions, staking isn't just about locking up assets and earning rewards — it's about ensuring that those assets are secure, efficient and constantly working to their full potential.
Stakeway is part of Gateway.fm — a company dedicated to the world of institutional staking. As a key player in the Gateway.fm family, Stakeway brings innovation, security and performance to the forefront of blockchain infrastructure. With over $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) across major networks like Lido, Gnosis, Ethereum and others, Stakeway is not only meeting the demands of today’s crypto markets but also driving the next wave of blockchain evolution.
The Stakes Have Never Been Higher
Blockchain technology has long promised a decentralized future, but the real test has always been scalability and security. With the explosion of new protocols and decentralized applications (dApps), the infrastructure that supports staking needs to be stronger and more resilient than ever. Institutions that are staking billions of dollars require reliability and performance — there's no room for failure.
At Stakeway, that means embracing a foundation of bare-metal servers housed in ISO-compliant, regionally distributed data centers. This physical infrastructure, designed for 99.9% uptime, offers a stark contrast to the limitations of traditional virtual machines. By dedicating hardware solely to staking operations, Stakeway ensures uninterrupted service — a critical safeguard against slashing, network downtime and other costly risks. For financial institutions and high-net-worth investors, that level of assurance is non-negotiable.
But Stakeway isn’t just about security — it’s about staying ahead of the game. With 24/7 monitoring and real-time incident response, any issue is detected and solved before it impacts performance. This global, always-on approach ensures that clients across North America, Europe and beyond enjoy continuous and reliable staking operations, no matter their location.
R&D at the Heart of Innovation
Behind Stakeway’s industry-leading infrastructure is an equally cuting-edge commitment to research and development. Blockchain tech is in constant evolution and or R&D team works tirelessly to push the limits of what’s possible. From advanced cryptographic techniques to pioneering innovations that enhance both security and scalability.
One of our flagship achievements is its work with the CDK Erigo, where research efforts have led to a 10x throughput increase for zkEVM networks — an impressive feat in the high-stakes world of blockchain performance. This isn’t just a win for us but a win for the entire blockchain ecosystem, ensuring that more projects can run efficiently and securely on decentralized infrastructure.
The Future of Staking: Liquid Staking, Cross-Chain Security and Beyond
The world of staking is evolving and Stakeway is at the forefront of that evolution. One of the most exciting innovations is liquid staking — a method that allows institutions to unlock liquidity from staked assets while still earning rewards. In a world where traditional staking locks assets for predetermined periods, liquid staking offers flexibility that was previously unimaginable. For institutions managing large sums, this unlocks new opportunities for maximizing returns while maintaining the ability to move capital as needed.
Stakeway is also advancing cross-chain security, applying the Bitcoin security model to protect smaller networks and decentralized applications. By bringing robust security protocols to Proof-of-Stake networks, Stakeway is ensuring that even smaller ecosystems can thrive without the looming threat of 51% attacks or other vulnerabilities. Looking ahead, Stakeway’s research continues to focus on validator consolidation (EIP-725) and future protocol upgrades. These innovations will improve validator performance and activation times, ensuring that Stakeway remains adaptable and ready to tackle the future challenges of blockchain technology.
A Global Vision for Blockchain Success
While blockchain is often seen as a global technology, the need for localized expertise cannot be overstated. Stakeway infrastructure spans multiple continents, from Puerto Rico to Switzerland, offering secure staking solutions no matter where clients are based. This combination of local knowledge and global infrastructure allows Stakeway to meet both regulatory requirements and performance expectations worldwide.
Stakeway offers localized expertise to meet the specific regulatory and operational requirements of each region. Our local presence allows us to tailor our services to meet local compliance standards. While still adhering to global best practices for security and performance.
Shaping the Future of Finance
