<p>P2P.org and iLuminary have partnered to bring onchain DeFi access directly inside the iLuminary platform.</p><p>iLuminary users can now interact with onchain DeFi protocols without leaving the app — no separate wallet setup, no bridging. The experience is built into the interface they already use, powered by P2P.org's DeFi Widget running on the backend.</p><p>This is the latest integration in P2P.org's growing network of platforms embedding onchain infrastructure directly into their products. For iLuminary, it closes the distance between their users and DeFi. For P2P.org, it's another distribution point for infrastructure that was previously only accessible to institutional clients.</p><p>If you're already on iLuminary, DeFi access is live now. <a href="https://iluminary.ai/download?ref=p2p.org">→</a> <a href="https://iluminary.ai/download?ref=p2p.org">Try it here</a>.</p><p><strong>What the DeFi Widget Is</strong></p><p>The P2P.org DeFi Widget is an embeddable module that gives any platform's users direct access to onchain DeFi protocols — without leaving the host application.</p><p>It plugs into an existing product interface. Users interact with onchain protocols through a familiar UI they already trust. The complexity of the underlying infrastructure — routing, protocol connections, transaction execution — is handled entirely by P2P.org on the backend.</p><p>For the end user, it just works. For the platform, it's a single integration.</p><p><strong>The Infrastructure Behind It</strong></p><p>The widget runs on P2P.org's core infrastructure — the same stack that powers staking and DeFi operations for institutional clients managing billions in onchain assets.</p><p>$12B+ in secured assets. 40+ networks supported. Zero slashing events. SOC 2 Type II certified.</p><p>That track record matters for platforms considering an integration. When you embed the P2P.org DeFi Widget, you're not building on experimental infrastructure. You're building on a stack that institutional clients depend on daily, with the operational standards that entails.</p><p><strong>For Platforms Looking to Integrate</strong></p><p>The integration process is straightforward. The widget is embeddable — it drops into an existing product interface without requiring a full infrastructure build on your end.</p><p>What you get: onchain DeFi access for your users, powered by P2P.org's protocol infrastructure and operational layer, delivered through your own product experience.</p><p>What your users get: access to established onchain protocols, directly inside an app they already use.</p><p>If you're building a platform and want to give your users DeFi access without the infrastructure overhead, the P2P.org DeFi Widget is built for exactly that use case.</p><p>Get in touch with the P2P.org team → <a href="https://link.p2p.org/93ab18?ref=p2p.org">https://link.p2p.org/93ab18</a> <br><br>Disclaimer: P2P.org provides non-custodial infrastructure that enables access to third-party DeFi protocols and does not control, manage, or guarantee the performance of any protocol or transaction.

<p>A publicly listed Japanese company is now running Ethereum validators through a DVT-based infrastructure stack. For institutional staking, that's a meaningful signal.</p><p>P2P.org has joined a four-party collaboration with BITPOINT Japan, Def consulting, and SSV Labs to support Def consulting's Ethereum treasury strategy — a framework in which ETH is held on the corporate balance sheet and participates in Ethereum network validation and receives protocol-level staking rewards. P2P.org handles validator operations; SSV Labs contributes its Distributed Validator Technology protocol; BITPOINT provides the trading and custody infrastructure that ties the structure together.</p><h2 id="the-setup"><strong>The Setup</strong></h2><p>Def consulting's approach — treating ETH as <strong>an operational treasury asset </strong>rather than a speculative holding — reflects a broader shift in how institutional players think about digital assets. Staking turns a passive balance sheet position into an active revenue line. DVT, layered on top, addresses the operational risk that has historically made institutions hesitant to run validator infrastructure at scale.</p><p>The mechanics are straightforward. Distributed Validator Technology splits validator key management and signing duties across multiple independent nodes. <strong>This design distributes validator responsibilities across multiple nodes, reducing reliance on any single operator. </strong>For a corporate treasury with fiduciary obligations, that resilience matters as much as the rewards. SSV Network's incentive program provides additional network incentives associated with SSV-enabled validator participation without changing the operational model.</p><h2 id="p2porgs-role"><strong>P2P.org's Role</strong></h2><p>P2P.org operates as a certified SSV Network operator — we've been running DVT-based validator infrastructure for institutional clients globally before this collaboration. Bringing that capability to the Japanese market, through BITPOINT's infrastructure and Def consulting's operational framework, is a concrete extension of that work.</p><p>As Konstantin Zaitcev, Co-CEO of P2P.org, noted:</p><p>"Deploying this technology and our operational expertise for corporate clients in Japan marks an important milestone for us. We believe this initiative will serve as a foundation for expanding the adoption of staking in the Japanese market."</p><p>Our mandate here is the same as it is across all institutional deployments:<strong> </strong>operate validator infrastructure with strong operational monitoring and reliability standards<strong>, and build the kind of track record that helps institutional participants evaluate staking infrastructure as part of their digital asset operations.</strong></p><h2 id="a-template-for-regulated-markets"><strong>A Template for Regulated Markets</strong></h2><p>The Japanese market has been deliberate about digital asset adoption — which is precisely why this collaboration carries weight. When a listed company formalizes ETH staking as part of its treasury strategy, backed by DVT infrastructure and a regulated exchange partner, it creates a replicable model that other corporate treasuries in the region can evaluate.</p><p>The four-party structure here — trading infrastructure, validator operations, DVT protocol, and a defined corporate ETH strategy — is a working template for how institutional staking gets built in regulated markets. It won't be the last time we see this model.</p><h2 id="start-staking-with-p2porg"><strong>Start Staking with P2P.org</strong></h2><p>If you're exploring ETH staking for your treasury or institutional portfolio, we'd be happy to walk you through how it works in practice — infrastructure, security model, reporting, and all.</p><p>Get in touch with our institutional team → <a href="https://link.p2p.org/3325c6?ref=p2p.org">https://link.p2p.org/3325c6</a></p><p>Learn more about ETH staking: <u> </u><a href="https://link.p2p.org/e3a57d?ref=p2p.org">https://link.p2p.org/e3a57d</a> </p>

HYPE’s design choices reflect an emphasis on efficiency, transparency, and consistency under load.</p><p><strong>Custody-native workflows: </strong>Assets are expected to remain under qualified custody. Any interaction with a protocol must integrate cleanly with existing custody, governance, and risk frameworks. Workflows that require assets to move outside custody introduce friction and operational risk.</p><p><strong>Proven infrastructure operators: </strong>Validator and staking operations are not interchangeable.

Over $10 billion in assets have been restaked to secure the protocol, and P2P.org has established itself as a leading Operator with hundreds of millions in delegated stake.</p><p>However, for many restakers the economic model has remained incomplete.</p><p>The typical restaking workflow looks like this: users delegate their stETH or rETH to an EigenLayer Operator, accumulate $EIGEN programmatic incentives, and maintain exposure to the restaking ecosystem. The underlying Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) delegated to Operators often remain inactive from a reward perspective, effectively functioning as collateral for restaking participation.</p><p>For institutions managing large ETH positions, capital efficiency matters.

<p>As on-chain financial infrastructure matures, one pattern is becoming increasingly clear: strong protocols succeed when paired with effective distribution.</p><p>High-quality lending infrastructure already exists. Capital-efficient designs, modular architectures, and professional-grade primitives are now well established. What continues to evolve is how these systems are delivered through fintech applications, neobanks, custodial platforms, exchanges, and wallets in a way that fits modern financial products.</p><p>This is where distribution layers play an important role.</p><p>The P2P.org Stablecoin Earn Widget is one example of this model in practice. It is live on the P2P.org frontend today, where users can access Steakhouse-curated Morpho vaults directly.

<p>In 2025, institutional crypto allocation stopped being about exposure—and started being about structure.</p><p>The difference is subtle but fundamental.</p><p>Instead of chasing market cycles, large allocators—from crypto-native funds to DAOs and exchanges—began designing portfolios for operational liquidity, onchain rewards, and capital rotation.
