What Is Monad: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Loving Parallel Evm

Two years ago, we saw Avalanche's C-Chain grind to a halt during a popular NFT mint. Last year, we observed BSC validators desperately cranking up gas limits only to watch their nodes fall further behind. Every "Ethereum killer" followed the same pattern: promise the moon, deliver a cratered landscape of compromises.Then we started validating on Monad's testnet. And something new happened — it actually worked.<h2 id="why-every-fast-blockchain-faces-the-same-issues">Why Every Fast Blockchain Faces the Same Issues</h2>When you're running a validator on a "high-performance" EVM chain and Block time is 1 second, everything is going smoothly while the network is humming along at 500 TPS. Then PancakeSwap launches a new farm, or a hyped NFT collection starts minting. Suddenly, every transaction wants to touch the same contract. Your parallel execution engine, so proud of its 32 cores, watches 31 sit idle while one core desperately processes a queue of dependent transactions.This is the little-known fact of parallel execution: it only works when transactions don't interact. The moment everyone rushes for the same exit, even a supercomputer becomes a Pentium.We've seen this scenario play out many times before. We know how it ends. So when Monad claimed they'd solved it, at <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a> we were skeptical. At first, we read their architecture. Then we tested it, and this is how we realized they'd done something genuinely smart that pushes the boundaries of blockchain technology forward.<h2 id="the-consensus-evolution">The Consensus Evolution</h2>Every blockchain consensus protocol since 2018 has been a variation on HotStuff — linear communication complexity, pipelined rounds, rotating leaders. It's elegant, proven, and fundamentally exploitable.Here's the attack we've been watching for years, but nobody seems to talk about: Leader N+1 can always kill Leader N's block. Just refuse to include its certificate. Boom — Leader N loses their block rewards, their transactions get stolen, and Leader N+1 makes bank on the MEV. We call it tail-forking, and it's been happening on mainnet chains for years. The victims just don't realize it.MonadBFT represents a totally new school of thought.<h2 id="only-on-monad-speculation-without-trust">Only on Monad: Speculation Without Trust</h2>Traditional BFT makes you wait for absolute certainty. Two rounds of voting, 2f+1 confirmations, carved in stone. MonadBFT says, "What if we didn't?"When you receive a block proposal, you vote immediately. When you see that vote certificate (QC) come back (just one round) you speculatively execute. But here's the genius part: you also save a "tip," the header of what you just voted for. If the next leader tries to fork away your block, your tip becomes evidence. The subsequent leader sees it in the timeout certificate and must repropose your block or prove nobody has it.The math is beautiful. If 2f+1 validators voted for a block, at least f+1 are honest. Those f+1 honest validators have the tip. Any timeout certificate must include at least one honest tip. The chain can't progress without including that block.The result? Once an honest leader proposes a block, it can only be excluded if that leader equivocates (double-signs), which is slashable. The MEV honeypot just became a trap.<h2 id="the-monad-way-is-also-faster">The Monad Way Is Also Faster</h2>By speculating after one round instead of waiting for two, MonadBFT achieves 3δ latency (three network hops) versus HotStuff's 7δ. In real networks where δ is 50-100ms, that's the difference between 150ms and 350ms to finality.But the real magic happens on the unhappy path. When leaders fail, HotStuff variants either sacrifice responsiveness (HotStuff-2) or communication complexity (Fast-HotStuff). MonadBFT keeps both by using Bracha's reliable broadcast — validators amplify timeout messages, achieving view synchronization in 2∆ without waiting for worst-case timeouts.We've triggered thousands of leader failures on testnet. Recovery is consistently sub-second. No other BFT protocol achieves this combination of speed, efficiency, and resilience.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.11.55.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1147" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.11.55.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.11.55.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.11.55.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.11.55.png 2114w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Img.: Consensus Latency of MonadBFT vs. HotStuff in a Real-World scenario</figcaption></figure><h2 id="monad%E2%80%99s-execution-layer-that-shouldnt-work-but-does">Monad’s Execution Layer That Shouldn't Work (But Does)</h2><h3 id="decoupled-consensus-and-execution">Decoupled Consensus and Execution</h3>In Monad, validators agree on transaction ordering without executing those transactions. Execution happens asynchronously, lagging consensus by three blocks. This sounds insane until you realize a fundamental truth: the outcome is determined the moment ordering is determined. Execution just reveals what already is.Think about it. Once transactions are ordered, their results are deterministic. Whether you execute them now or in three blocks doesn't change the outcome. It just changes when you learn the outcome.This decoupling does something completely new: it gives execution the full block time instead of fighting consensus for milliseconds. In Ethereum, execution gets ~100ms out of a 12-second block. In Monad, execution gets the full 2 seconds while consensus runs in parallel. That's a 20x increase in execution budget without changing the block time.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.12.49.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1502" height="1298" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.12.49.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.12.49.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.12.49.png 1502w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Img.: Every round, a new payload and a new validated proposal (Quorum Certificate) about the previous proposal gets shared, allowing the parent proposal to be speculatively finalized and the grandparent proposal to be fully finalized.

And that's fine.Monad includes a delayed <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/academy/articles/merkle-trees-and-merkle-roots-explained?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">merkle root</a> from three blocks ago. If validators diverge in execution, they'll produce different roots. Three blocks later, when that root appears in a proposal, the divergent validator gets kicked out of consensus. They roll back to the last verified state and re-execute.We've intentionally corrupted the state on our test validators to trigger this. Recovery is automatic and takes seconds. The delayed verification provides eventual consistency without sacrificing immediate progress.<h2 id="a-parallel-execution-engine-that-can-scale">A Parallel Execution Engine That Can Scale</h2>Every parallel execution engine faces the same problem: transactions aren't naturally parallel. Alice pays Bob, Bob pays Carol, Carol pays Alice. Execute these in parallel and you'll get the wrong answer. Execute them sequentially and why did you buy that 64-core processor?Monad's solution is wonderfully simple: execute first, apologize later.<h3 id="optimistic-execution-fortune-favors-the-bold">Optimistic Execution: Fortune Favors the Bold</h3>Transaction 1 reads Alice's balance and adds 100. Transaction 2 reads Alice's balance and subtracts 50.Traditional parallel execution would lock Alice's account, forcing sequential processing. Monad says, "screw it, run both simultaneously."Transaction 2 starts with Alice's original balance, not knowing that Transaction 1 is about to change it. Both transactions are complete. Then comes the reconciliation.Monad checks: Did Transaction 2 read the state that Transaction 1 modified? Yes? Transaction 2's results are discarded, and it runs again with Transaction 1's updates. This continues—Transaction 3 might depend on Transaction 2's corrected results, causing a cascade of re-execution.Sounds inefficient? It isn't, because a vast majority of transactions don't conflict.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.10.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1118" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.10.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.10.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.10.png 1500w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Img.

Add more cores, run transactions simultaneously, watch the TPS counter explode. Except it doesn't work that way.Multiple studies analyzing millions of Ethereum transactions tell a consistent story. Sei Protocol examined 2.49 million transactions and found 64.85% could execute in parallel with zero conflicts. Khipu's mainnet analysis showed 80% parallelizability. Block-STM demonstrates this in practice: 16-20x speedup with low contention, degrading gracefully to 3-4x when conflicts increase.The math looks beautiful. Then you hit production and discover the truth.State access consumes 70% of execution time (Flashbots research). You can parallelize computation all you want; you're fighting over the 30% that doesn't matter. Is signature verification, the operation everyone assumes is expensive? Less than 1% of total processing time. The actual killer is reading from and writing to the Merkle Patricia Trie.Think about what this means. Every SLOAD operation becomes a randomized treasure hunt through a database that wasn't built for concurrent access. Block-STM proved the pattern: exceptional speedups with independent transactions, but even their optimized engine hits walls when everyone queues for the same state.This is where Monad actually innovates.When transactions conflict and require re-execution, the expensive work doesn't repeat. Signature results cache. The state stays in memory. JIT compilation persists. Only the state transitions run again. But the real breakthrough goes beyond handling conflicts, and focuses on eliminating the bottleneck everyone else accepts as inevitable.Monad's own engineering team said it plainly: "Parallelization alone made little impact on performance because the bottleneck is state access."<h2 id="the-storage-layer">The Storage Layer</h2>Databases are where blockchain dreams go to die. You can have the fastest consensus, the cleverest execution, but if your disk can't keep up, you're building a very expensive space heater.Ethereum clients use LevelDB or RocksDB — general-purpose key-value stores designed in 2011 for Facebook's social graph. They're embedding a Merkle-Patricia Trie into a B-tree or LSM-tree. It's trees all the way down, and every level adds overhead.MonadDB said, "What if we just... didn't?"<h2 id="patricia-tries-all-the-way-down">Patricia Tries: All the Way Down</h2>MonadDB implements Patricia Tries natively. Not as a data structure stored in a database, but as THE database. When you query the state, you're traversing the actual on-disk trie structure, not some interpretation of it.This sounds simple but its implementation isn’t. It requires rethinking everything:Asynchronous I/O: With parallel execution, dozens of transactions query state simultaneously. MonadDB uses io_uring (Linux's newest async I/O interface) to handle thousands of concurrent disk operations without thread spawning overhead.Filesystem Bypass: Files are an abstraction. Filesystems are an abstraction on top of an abstraction. MonadDB says "Give me the raw block device." No filesystem fragmentation, no metadata overhead, no buffer cache confusion. Just bytes on disk exactly where MonadDB put them.Persistent Data Structures: Updates don't modify existing trie nodes. They create new versions. This enables lock-free reads (critical for parallel execution) while maintaining atomicity. Old versions get garbage collected asynchronously.The performance difference is staggering. Our benchmarks show 10x improvement in random state access versus RocksDB. But the real win is write amplification—MonadDB reduces it by 3x, extending SSD lifespan and reducing infrastructure costs.<h2 id="raptorcast-and-the-art-of-multiplying-bandwidth">RaptorCast and the Art of Multiplying Bandwidth</h2>Here's a fun math problem: You need to send a 2MB block to 100 validators. Your upload bandwidth is 1 Gbps. How long does it take?Traditional broadcast: 2MB × 100 = 200MB = 1.6 seconds. Your 2-second block time just died.RaptorCast doesn't multiply — it divides.<h2 id="the-elegant-violence-of-erasure-coding">The Elegant Violence of Erasure Coding</h2>Instead of sending the full block to everyone, RaptorCast uses Raptor codes (RFC 5053) to create 300 encoded chunks where any 100 chunks reconstruct the original block. Each validator gets 3 chunks (weighted by stake). Then — and this is the clever part — validators share chunks with each other.The math:<ul><li>Leader upload: 3 chunks × 100 validators = 300 chunks ≈ 2MB (same as original block!)</li><li>Propagation time: 2 network hops (leader → validators → validators)</li><li>Failure tolerance: 33% of validators can be Byzantine, 20% packet loss, still recovers</li></ul><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.27.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1004" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.27.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.27.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-15.13.27.png 1500w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Img.: Generic view of the two-hop Raptorcast broadcast tree.

If a block doesn't decode, validators can prove it with the malformed chunks. The leader can't claim "you didn't receive it correctly", as the cryptographic proofs make failures attributable.We've tested RaptorCast under adversarial conditions — 50% packet loss, coordinated Byzantine validators, and network partitions. It recovers every time. The redundancy auto-adjusts based on observed failure rates. It's an antifragile infrastructure.<h2 id="why-we-believe-in-monad">Why We Believe in Monad</h2>We've validated on 40+ networks. We've seen every flavor of failure. Chains that work in simulation but die under load. Chains that scale perfectly until someone deploys Uniswap. Chains that achieve 100,000 TPS (on a private network, with one validator, processing empty transactions).Monad is different because it solves the right problems:<ol><li>Consensus that can't be gamed: MonadBFT's tail-forking resistance means validators can't reorder history for profit</li><li>Execution that uses your hardware: Parallel execution that actually works when transactions interact</li><li>Storage that scales with SSDs: MonadDB turns random I/O into sequential writes</li><li>Network distribution that multiplies bandwidth: RaptorCast makes 100 validators share the load like 10,000</li><li>Compatibility without compromise: Full EVM bytecode compatibility, not "almost EVM" promises</li></ol><h2 id="the-validators-verdict">The Validator's Verdict</h2>After two years on testnet, here's what we know:<h3 id="the-good">The Good:</h3><ul><li>Consistent 10,000 TPS with real DeFi transactions</li><li>150ms finality (3x faster than Ethereum's 12-second blocks)</li><li>Hardware requirements comparable to Ethereum (not Solana's supercomputer demands)</li><li>MEV resistance is built into the consensus</li></ul><h3 id="the-challenge">The Challenge:</h3><ul><li>State growth at 10,000 TPS means 50GB+ daily</li><li>2-second blocks require sub-second monitoring</li><li>Parallel execution benefits from 32+ CPU cores</li><li>RaptorCast needs quality network providers (packet loss hurts)</li></ul>The Verdict: Monad delivers on its promises. Not through magical breakthroughs but through systematic engineering. Every bottleneck identified, analyzed, and eliminated.<h2 id="what-this-actually-means-for-stakers">What This Actually Means for Stakers</h2>Before we get into institutional specifics, let's translate the technical architecture into practical outcomes:For Everyone Staking MON:Higher, More Reliable Yields 10,000 TPS means more network activity. More activity means more fees. More fees mean higher staking rewards. But only if your validator can actually capture them—which requires infrastructure optimized for Monad's architecture.Faster Reward Compounding 2-second finality means staking rewards compound multiple times per minute, not once per day. Over time, this creates measurably better returns compared to slower chains.Lower Slashing Risk Parallel execution reduces validator race conditions that cause most slashing events on other chains. MonadBFT's design makes it nearly impossible for honest validators to get penalized.Shorter Unstaking Periods Approximately 5.5 hours from unstake to withdrawal. Compare this to Ethereum's 2-5 days. Liquidity when you need it, security when you don't.For LST Protocol Users:The liquid staking protocols we're integrated with (aPriori, Kintsu, Magma, Fastlane) each leverage Monad's performance differently—from MEV capture to distributed validator technology. But they all depend on validator infrastructure that can keep pace with 10,000 TPS.For Institutional Allocations:The technical architecture translates to risk mitigation. When you're allocating significant capital, you need validators who've stress-tested the edge cases, optimized for the specific bottlenecks, and built monitoring for Monad's unique requirements.That's where institutional-grade infrastructure separates from commodity validation services.<h2 id="what-this-means-for-institutional-staking">What This Means for Institutional Staking</h2>We don't chase hype. We've turned down validator opportunities on chains with bigger treasuries and louder marketing. We validate where the technology deserves it.Monad deserves it.Their architecture is fast and correct in practice, not just theory. And not only on testnet, but under adversarial conditions.When mainnet launches, we'll be running validators on hardware specifically optimized for Monad's architecture. NVMe arrays configured for MonadDB's access patterns. Network topology optimized for RaptorCast. Monitoring systems tracking parallel execution efficiency.Because when you find a blockchain that actually solves the hard problems, you build for it.<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a> has been stress-testing Monad since Testnet-1.

P2P.org Solves Solana Validator Bottleneck With DoubleZero Fiber Integration

<h2 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>P2P.org integrated DoubleZero's fiber optic network for our Solana validators, joining >34% of staked SOL already on the system.</li><li>DoubleZero solves blockchain's real bottleneck — data flow, not computation — with dedicated low-latency routes.</li><li>Better infrastructure means fewer missed slots, more consistent validator performance, and positioning for Solana's continued scaling.</li></ul>Institutional treasury managers stake billions in SOL, trusting validators to deliver consistent performance. But most don't realize the real performance bottleneck isn't validator hardware — it's the invisible infrastructure layer connecting validators.P2P.org just upgraded that layer with DoubleZero integration, joining 22% of staked SOL on a network purpose-built for institutional-grade reliability.<h2 id="what-doublezero-actually-is">What DoubleZero Actually Is</h2>DoubleZero is a permissionless fiber optic network built specifically for validator communication. Think of it as a private highway system for blockchain infrastructure instead of the crowded public internet everyone else uses.The architecture uses two concentric rings that work together. The outer ring deploys FPGA-powered hardware at key network entry points to filter spam, remove duplicate transactions, and verify signatures before data ever reaches validators. The inner ring provides dedicated fiber optic routes for block propagation and consensus — delivering low latency, high bandwidth, and minimal jitter.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-at-10.43.19.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1141" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-at-10.43.19.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-at-10.43.19.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-at-10.43.19.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-at-10.43.19.png 2318w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>This way, infrastructure can be shared at scale. Rather than each validator independently provisioning resources to handle the full firehose of inbound transactions (such as spam and other unwanted traffic), DoubleZero filters at the network edge. Validators downstream receive a substantially smaller, pre-verified transaction set and can focus their computational resources where it matters: block production and transaction execution. It's a more efficient model than thousands of validators each doing the same filtering work independently.This shared infrastructure approach is particularly relevant for institutions seeking operational efficiency: why pay for redundant filtering across multiple validator relationships when the work can be done once at the network edge?<h2 id="why-data-flow-is-the-bottleneck">Why Data Flow Is the Bottleneck</h2>Modern validators aren't constrained by CPU cores or memory capacity. They're bottlenecked by bandwidth and latency. A Solana validator receives thousands of transactions per second over the public internet, filters out spam, deduplicates, verifies signatures, constructs blocks, and reaches consensus with hundreds of other validators — all coordinating in real time.The public internet wasn't designed for this. Variable latency creates jitter in consensus communication, which leads to missed slots. Bandwidth constraints limit throughput as transaction volume increases. Spam floods consume computational resources that could be spent on actual block production. As blockchains push for higher performance, these infrastructure limitations become the primary ceiling. You can throw faster hardware at the problem, but if the network layer can't keep up, you're just burning money on underutilized machines.<h2 id="what-this-means-for-our-delegators">What This Means for Our Delegators</h2>Better infrastructure translates directly to better validator performance. With spam filtering happening at the network edge, our validators spend less computational power on useless traffic and more on the work that matters. Dedicated fiber routes with lower latency mean faster block propagation and more consistent consensus participation. Fewer missed slots, more reliable rewards.The network effects matter too. <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/10/01/doublezero-mainnet-goes-live-with-nearly-21-of-staked-sol-on-board?ref=p2p.org">With over 22% of staked SOL now operating on DoubleZero</a>, the system becomes increasingly resilient. A distributed denial-of-service attack that could overwhelm an individual validator would now need to simultaneously target hundreds of geographically distributed data centers. That's orders of magnitude more difficult. As more validators and fiber links join the network, these advantages compound — better routes, more redundancy, stronger protection.<h2 id="technical-implementation">Technical Implementation</h2>We deployed DoubleZero for our first validators on October 24, following early-stage testnet validation that allowed our engineering team to refine the integration before production deployment. The implementation required integration with DoubleZero's Program Derived Address (PDA) system for network access, along with automated monitoring to ensure consistent connectivity and performance. Our engineering team built automation for PDA balance management to maintain uninterrupted network access. This is production infrastructure now, not a testnet experiment.<h2 id="infrastructure-as-strategy">Infrastructure as Strategy</h2>DoubleZero integration is part of a broader approach to validator infrastructure at P2P.org. We continuously evaluate infrastructure improvements that can enhance validator performance and reliability. As Solana continues to scale and push throughput limits, validators running on baseline public internet infrastructure will increasingly struggle. The gap between validators with dedicated high-performance networks and those without will widen.We're positioning on the right side of that gap. This matters for institutional staking where performance consistency and infrastructure quality are risk management concerns, not just technical details. P2P.org operates validators across 40+ networks with over $10 billion in assets under management and a zero slashing record over seven years. That track record comes from taking infrastructure seriously.<h2 id="stake-with-institutional-grade-infrastructure">Stake with Institutional-Grade Infrastructure</h2>P2P.org's Solana validators now operate on DoubleZero's high-performance network, combining our proven operational excellence with cutting-edge infrastructure optimization.<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://www.p2p.org/networks/solana?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Stake SOL with P2P.org</a></div>Questions about our Solana infrastructure?

EigenLayer's Double Launch: 4x Rewards and Verifiable AI Infrastructure

<h2 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>Network rewards increased from 5% to 20%+ NRR — a 4x jump in returns for $EIGEN restakers</li><li>EigenAI and EigenCompute launched on mainnet alpha, introducing verifiable AI infrastructure to solve enterprise trust gaps</li><li>Protocol inflation adjusted from 4% to 8% to fund the higher reward structure</li><li>P2P.org reduced commission from 10% to 5% through end of 2025 for all $EIGEN restakers</li></ul>EigenLayer made two major announcements this week that fundamentally shift the restaking landscape: a 4x increase in network rewards and the mainnet alpha launch of the first revenue-generating applications built on restaking infrastructure.Here's what changed, why it matters for institutional allocators, and how the pieces connect.<h2 id="the-economics-from-5-to-20-nrr">The Economics: From 5% to 20%+ NRR</h2>Programmatic Incentives v2 is now live, raising the Network Reward Rate (NRR) from 5% to over 20% annually for $EIGEN restakers.<h3 id="what-actually-changed">What actually changed</h3>Base rewards increased 4x. The 20% NRR is the new baseline, not a temporary promotion.Inflation rate doubled. Total $EIGEN issuance increased from 4% to 8% annually, directly funding the higher rewards. An additional 1% goes toward Ecosystem Growth initiatives.Incentive structure realigned. The new model rewards long-term restakers who provide consistent security to Actively Validated Services (AVS), rather than optimizing purely for TVL growth.Why this matters: At 5% NRR, restaking competed with traditional Ethereum staking (3-4% NRR) while adding operational complexity. At 20%+, it becomes one of the highest risk-adjusted yields in crypto infrastructure — a 16-17 percentage point premium that justifies the additional overhead for institutional treasuries.<h2 id="the-infrastructure-what-gets-secured">The Infrastructure: What Gets Secured</h2>The 4x rewards increase raises an important question: what are restakers actually securing?EigenCloud's mainnet alpha launch provides the answer: EigenAI and EigenCompute — the first real-world services that demonstrate restaking economics in practice.<h3 id="eigenai-verifiable-llm-inference">EigenAI: Verifiable LLM Inference</h3>Enterprise AI deployment faces a fundamental trust gap. When you query an LLM through cloud providers, you're trusting the model hasn't been tampered with, the response came from the claimed model, and results haven't been altered.For regulated institutions and compliance-heavy industries, this opacity is a blocker.What EigenAI does: Provides an API for LLM inference where every input, output, and model version is cryptographically guaranteed. Prompts, responses, and models remain provably unchanged, with complete audit trails for all interactions.Why enterprises care: Deterministic, reproducible AI outputs with full auditability. If you need to prove to regulators exactly what your AI system processed and returned, EigenAI provides cryptographic proof.OpenAI-compatible API: Developers can integrate verifiable inference into existing systems with minimal code changes.Use cases:<ul><li>Financial institutions running AI-powered risk models</li><li>Healthcare applications requiring audit trails for diagnostic AI</li><li>Legal tech where AI-assisted research needs to be defensible</li><li>Any regulated industry where AI decisions require proof of execution</li></ul><h3 id="eigencompute-verifiable-off-chain-computation">EigenCompute: Verifiable Off-Chain Computation</h3>What it does: Executes complex computational tasks off-chain with on-chain-level trust guarantees.How it works: Current alpha leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) — hardware-based secure enclaves that prove code executed correctly. Future releases will add cryptoeconomic guarantees and zero-knowledge proofs.Why this matters: Many blockchain applications need heavy computation that's too expensive or slow to run on-chain. EigenCompute provides a verified alternative — execute off-chain, prove on-chain.Practical applications:<ul><li>Complex financial modeling for DeFi protocols</li><li>AI model training and inference requiring verification</li><li>Data processing pipelines where results need on-chain confirmation</li><li>Any computation where proving correct execution matters more than running everything on-chain</li></ul><h2 id="how-the-pieces-connect-dual-revenue-model">How the Pieces Connect: Dual Revenue Model</h2>EigenAI and EigenCompute represent the economic model of restaking playing out in practice.When enterprises use these services, they pay fees. Those fees flow to:<ol><li>The AVS operators who validate the services</li><li>The restakers who provide economic security to those operators</li></ol>This creates a dual-revenue model for restakers:<ul><li>Base protocol rewards (the 20%+ NRR from Programmatic Incentives v2)</li><li>Service fee revenue from actual usage of EigenAI and EigenCompute</li></ul>As these services gain enterprise adoption, early restakers who secured them capture both yield streams. This is why the 4x rewards increase and the EigenCloud launch matter together — higher protocol rewards plus revenue-generating applications that those rewards secure.<h2 id="p2porg-5-commission-through-2025">P2P.org: 5% Commission Through 2025</h2>To align with EigenLayer's new incentive structure, P2P.org has reduced commission from 10% to 5% through the end of 2025 for all $EIGEN restakers.What you get:<ul><li>Zero slashing events across 7 years of validator operations on 40+ networks</li><li>Professional AVS management — we handle all technical implementation, including EigenAI and EigenCompute validation</li><li>99.9% uptime with enterprise SLAs</li><li>Dedicated institutional support for compliance and custom reporting</li><li>5% commission applies to all yields — both base protocol rewards and AVS fee revenue</li></ul>*Important:** The 5% commission rate applies specifically to our dedicated <a href="https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/operator/0xd2bca64ad01f77de84be4a8acbd2e8beceed9ab3?ref=p2p.org">EIGEN Restaking Operator</a>. P2P.org operates multiple EigenLayer validators — make sure you're delegating to the correct operator address to receive the promotional rate.Our AVS selection process evaluates:<ul><li>Security architecture and audit history</li><li>Economic sustainability and revenue potential</li><li>Technical requirements relative to our infrastructure</li><li>Risk/reward profiles considering slashing conditions</li></ul>Both EigenAI and EigenCompute met our criteria for institutional-grade AVS participation.<h2 id="why-early-positioning-matters">Why Early Positioning Matters</h2>The combination of 4x rewards and revenue-generating applications creates a compelling window for institutional restakers.Higher base rewards: 20%+ NRR changes the risk/reward calculation versus traditional staking and DeFi alternatives.Fee revenue upside: As EigenAI and EigenCompute move from alpha to production and gain enterprise adoption, fee revenue flows to validators and restakers.First-mover advantage: Early restakers capture both yield streams while building operational expertise before restaking becomes commoditized.The shift from 5% to 20% NRR combined with the launch of actual revenue-generating services demonstrates restaking economics moving from theory to practice.<h2 id="next-steps">Next Steps</h2>The shift from 5% to 20% NRR changes the strategic calculation for institutional restaking. Accessing those returns safely requires infrastructure built for institutional requirements — proven reliability, professional risk management, and dedicated support.P2P.org has secured over $10 billion in assets for 130+ institutional clients across 40+ networks. Our EigenLayer infrastructure brings the same operational standards to restaking that we've delivered since 2018.<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://www.p2p.org/products/eigenlayer?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Restake $EIGEN with P2P.org</a></div>

Strategic diversification typically includes significant allocations to other proof-of-stake networks. If you're staking ETH while other assets sit idle, you're leaving rewards on the table.For a $200M portfolio with $50M in unstaked proof-of-stake assets, the opportunity cost approaches $2M annually at a conservative 4% average reward rate. That's not theoretical — it's board-reportable capital sitting unproductive.Managing multiple staking solutions creates compounding overhead. Different providers mean multiple vendor relationships, separate contracts, and independent compliance reviews. Different interfaces require training teams on various platforms. Different reporting standards mean aggregating disparate data for CFO dashboards.At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, our institutional clients value operational consistency precisely because fragmentation costs real money.

Different interfaces require training teams on multiple platforms and maintaining familiarity with various operational procedures. Different reporting standards mean aggregating disparate data sources for CFO dashboards and board presentations. Different risk frameworks demand separate evaluation and monitoring processes per network.If a single provider can handle multiple networks with consistent operations, the efficiency gains are substantial. Imagine one vendor relationship, a unified dashboard, consolidated reporting, and one risk framework adapted across networks rather than rebuilt from scratch for each.<h2 id="strategic-optionality-as-markets-evolve">Strategic Optionality as Markets Evolve</h2>The institutional crypto landscape three years ago centered on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Three years from now, new networks may command significant institutional attention while some current favorites fade.Starting with multi-chain capable providers creates optionality for portfolio evolution. When you decide to add new networks or adjust allocations, operational infrastructure already supports expansion without requiring new vendor relationships or platform integrations.<h2 id="lido-beyond-ethereum-the-current-reality">Lido Beyond Ethereum: The Current Reality</h2>For institutions considering multi-chain strategies, understanding deployment maturity across networks is critical. Lido V3's exceptional institutional capabilities for Ethereum represent the gold standard, while other chains are at different stages of development.Ethereum with V3's stVaults represents Lido's institutional flagship — mature protocol, customization capabilities, deep liquidity, extensive institutional support infrastructure, and proven track record with large positions. Institutional readiness is excellent across transparency, customization, liquidity, and operational support.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/lido_v3_network_readiness_scorecard.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1568" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/lido_v3_network_readiness_scorecard.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/lido_v3_network_readiness_scorecard.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/lido_v3_network_readiness_scorecard.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2025/11/lido_v3_network_readiness_scorecard.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><a href="https://x.com/P2Pvalidator/article/1986100330463969430/media/1986094646477398017?ref=p2p.org"></a>Polygon offers functional liquid staking via stMATIC that works well for moderate allocations, though it predates V3's advanced institutional features. For MATIC allocations of $5M-$25M, operational consistency with your Ethereum staking infrastructure can provide value.For large positions requiring the full customization and institutional-grade support that Lido V3 delivers on Ethereum, institutions typically need to evaluate additional solutions as Lido's capabilities expand to other networks over time.Solana and other networks show varying degrees of protocol maturity and institutional positioning. Understanding these differences matters when building multi-chain strategies, as Lido V3 on Ethereum sets a high bar that other solutions are working to match.<h2 id="the-multi-chain-infrastructure-provider-model">The Multi-Chain Infrastructure Provider Model</h2>Lido's success on Ethereum, with V3 enhancing institutional capabilities, demonstrates how powerful well-designed liquid staking protocols can be for institutions. While Lido's multi-chain presence creates valuable consistency opportunities, institutions should understand that working with infrastructure providers who operate across multiple protocols enables optimization for each network's unique characteristics.Professional multi-chain infrastructure providers operate validators across dozens of proof-of-stake networks, supporting various protocols based on what delivers optimal institutional outcomes for each specific chain.For Ethereum, <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a> is preparing to operate Lido V3 validators for institutional stVaults, where the protocol provides exceptional institutional characteristics — customization, liquidity, transparency, and governance control that set the industry standard.For other networks, it means evaluating the best institutional approach per chain. Sometimes that's Lido deployments where available and mature. Sometimes it's native staking mechanisms. Sometimes, it's alternative liquid staking protocols more developed for particular chains.At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, this flexibility means optimizing for the institutional outcomes you actually need (transparency, control, risk management) while leveraging the best available protocol for each network in your portfolio.<h2 id="the-unified-dashboard-advantage">The Unified Dashboard Advantage</h2>One of the most valuable aspects of working with multi-chain infrastructure providers is consolidated visibility across your entire staking portfolio, regardless of which specific protocols operate underneath.A unified institutional dashboard provides all staked positions across all networks in one view, performance metrics calculated with consistent methodology, consolidated reward tracking, risk monitoring using frameworks adapted across networks, and custom reporting exports matching your treasury systems.For treasury teams managing staking across multiple networks, this operational efficiency is substantial — one login, one interface, one support contact, unified reporting regardless of underlying mechanisms.<h2 id="building-your-multi-chain-strategy">Building Your Multi-Chain Strategy</h2>Start with strategic asset allocation, not infrastructure capabilities. The networks you hold should determine your staking strategy, not the reverse.Portfolio assessment first: List all proof-of-stake assets in your current portfolio. Identify time horizons for each holding. Assess risk tolerance per network. Consider portfolio evolution plans.Before staking any asset, evaluate infrastructure maturity. What institutional-grade staking solutions exist? Are there liquid staking options or only native mechanisms? How deep are secondary markets? Are there operators with institutional certifications? What monitoring infrastructure exists?For Ethereum with Lido V3, these questions have excellent answers. For newer networks, significant gaps may exist that make staking premature until the infrastructure matures.Most institutions benefit from a hybrid approach: Use a capable multi-chain provider as your primary partner for most networks, but selectively use specialists for networks where deep expertise creates meaningful value.Example: Use a multi-chain provider for Ethereum (via Lido V3 when it launches on mainnet), Polygon, and smaller allocations, while considering Solana specialists for very large SOL positions where network-specific expertise delivers superior outcomes.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/lido_v3_venn_diagram.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1424" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/lido_v3_venn_diagram.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/lido_v3_venn_diagram.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/lido_v3_venn_diagram.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2025/11/lido_v3_venn_diagram.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>This pragmatic middle ground balances operational efficiency with optimization for your most significant positions.</figcaption></figure><h2 id="practical-implementation">Practical Implementation</h2>Don't attempt to stake everything immediately. Begin with networks representing your largest allocations — typically Ethereum, then one or two others based on portfolio weighting.Master operations on major positions before adding smaller networks. Your $120M ETH position deserves immediate attention. Smaller positions can wait until you've built operational competence.If your multi-chain provider offers 90% of best-in-class performance for a network, operational simplicity usually justifies accepting the 10% gap. Only for very large positions — typically $50M+ in a single network beyond Ethereum — does specialization overhead become worthwhile.Calculate the actual dollar value of optimization. If specialized infrastructure might improve annual returns by 0.3% on a $20M position, that's $60K annually. If managing that specialized relationship requires 40 hours of internal time annually, you're paying for marginal improvement through your team's opportunity cost.Add one network per quarter rather than attempting simultaneous multi-chain deployment.

The Liquid Staking Landscape on Monad

The infrastructure is live. The LST landscape is taking shape. Here's what we're seeing.With Monad delivering 10,000 TPS and sub-2-second finality, multiple liquid staking protocols are positioning to serve the ecosystem. Over 290 projects are building on Monad, and the LST layer will play a critical role in how capital flows through the network.At P2P.org, we've been validating on Monad since Testnet-1. That early access has given us insight into how the liquid staking landscape is developing. As mainnet approaches, we're evaluating which LST protocols have the technical capabilities, funding, and ecosystem alignment to succeed.Here's our overview of the major liquid staking protocols emerging on Monad.<h2 id="fastlane-holistic-liquid-staking-with-mev-infrastructure">Fastlane: Holistic Liquid Staking with MEV Infrastructure</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/data-src-image-3bfefbc1-199c-4aa1-8e3f-9430e4af509e.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="603" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/data-src-image-3bfefbc1-199c-4aa1-8e3f-9430e4af509e.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/data-src-image-3bfefbc1-199c-4aa1-8e3f-9430e4af509e.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/data-src-image-3bfefbc1-199c-4aa1-8e3f-9430e4af509e.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/data-src-image-3bfefbc1-199c-4aa1-8e3f-9430e4af509e.png 2048w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>What they do: MEV-aware liquid staking protocol with integrated infrastructure for execution abstractionWhy it matters: First holistic LST combining staking, MEV capture, gas abstraction, and developer tools<h3 id="the-opportunity">The opportunity:</h3><a href="https://www.fastlane.xyz/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Fastlane</a> represents a new category of liquid staking: the holistic LST.

While stVaults aren't live yet, the underlying validator operations that will power them are running today — and understanding these operations is critical for effective operator selection when V3 launches.At P2P.org, we operate institutional validation infrastructure across 40+ networks, managing over $10B in staked assets. Our institutional validator operations demonstrate the standards that stVault operators should meet — standards that will be critical when institutions customize their Lido V3 deployments.This article examines what institutional-grade node operations actually look like, why these operational standards matter, and what institutions should verify when selecting operators for their stVaults.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-7136d4c2-c2a9-442f-abad-c281fec1abbf.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1200" height="700" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/data-src-image-7136d4c2-c2a9-442f-abad-c281fec1abbf.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/10/data-src-image-7136d4c2-c2a9-442f-abad-c281fec1abbf.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-7136d4c2-c2a9-442f-abad-c281fec1abbf.png 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="what-node-operators-actually-do-the-three-critical-layers">What Node Operators Actually Do: The Three Critical Layers</h2>When institutions ask what they're paying node operators for, the answer centers on three operational layers that work together to protect capital and maximize returns.<h3 id="layer-1-infrastructure-%E2%80%94-the-performance-foundation">Layer 1: Infrastructure — The Performance Foundation</h3>Professional node operations don't run validators on single servers. Institutional-grade operations require redundant infrastructure across multiple geographic locations.Primary validation infrastructure uses enterprise-grade servers with redundant networking and backup power systems. This isn't excessive — it's essential. Ethereum's network doesn't care why your validator missed attestations. Power outages, network issues, hardware failures, or software bugs all result in penalties.Secondary failover infrastructure in geographically separate locations automatically assumes duties if issues are detected with primary systems. This geographic distribution protects against regional outages, data center problems, or localized network issues.Independent monitoring infrastructure separate from validation systems ensures problems are detected even if validation environments experience issues. This separation is critical, as monitoring systems that rely on the same infrastructure they're monitoring create single points of failure.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-580496f6-5470-4017-b5b3-12e522187707.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/data-src-image-580496f6-5470-4017-b5b3-12e522187707.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/10/data-src-image-580496f6-5470-4017-b5b3-12e522187707.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-580496f6-5470-4017-b5b3-12e522187707.png 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>At P2P.org, our institutional operations maintain this redundancy across all networks we operate.

The operational overhead ensures reliability that protects your capital and maximizes returns.Lido V3 stVaults are designed to enable institutions to select operators based on their specific requirements, moving beyond the one-size-fits-all approach of pooled protocols.<h3 id="layer-2-security-%E2%80%94-protecting-your-principal">Layer 2: Security — Protecting Your Principal</h3>Validator keys are the most critical assets in the operation. Compromise these keys, and attackers could cause slashing events that destroy principal. Lose these keys, and validators stop functioning.Professional node operators implement multiple security layers that institutional stVault operators should demonstrate.Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) store all validator keys in tamper-resistant devices that perform cryptographic operations internally without exposing private keys. Even system administrators cannot extract keys—they can only request the HSM perform signing operations.Professional operators generate validator keys using HSMs in secure, air-gapped environments with strict access controls. At P2P.org, institutional security standards are foundational to our operations.Geographic distribution means keys exist in multiple secure locations. If one location becomes unavailable, validators continue operating using keys in secondary locations. This redundancy protects against both security incidents and availability issues.Access controls and monitoring ensure that every interaction with validator keys is logged, authorized, and auditable. Institutional clients need these audit trails for their own governance and compliance requirements.Lido V3 stVaults aim to provide institutions with greater transparency into operator standards, enabling more informed selection decisions compared to pooled protocols.<h3 id="layer-3-monitoring-%E2%80%94-detecting-issues-before-they-impact-returns">Layer 3: Monitoring — Detecting Issues Before They Impact Returns</h3>Professional monitoring goes far beyond checking if validators are online. Institutional operations require comprehensive monitoring that detects problems early and enables rapid response.Validator performance monitoring tracks not just uptime but effectiveness. An operator with 99.5% uptime but poor attestation effectiveness may deliver worse returns than an operator with 99.2% uptime and consistently optimal attestations. Institutional monitoring systems track these nuances rather than a simple binary online/offline status.Infrastructure health monitoring tracks node synchronization, peer connectivity, hardware resource utilization, and network conditions. Problems in any of these areas can degrade performance before causing complete outages. Early detection enables corrective action before penalties occur.Network condition monitoring tracks the broader Ethereum network for conditions that might affect validators—upcoming hard forks, client bugs affecting other operators, or network congestion that could impact attestation inclusion.At P2P.org, our monitoring systems track validator performance continuously across all networks we operate, with alert systems designed to detect and respond to anomalies rapidly.Lido V3 stVaults are expected to enable institutions to select operators with monitoring capabilities that meet their specific requirements.<h2 id="why-these-operational-standards-matter-for-stvault-selection">Why These Operational Standards Matter for stVault Selection</h2>The three layers we've described are proven operational standards from managing billions in institutional stakes across dozens of networks.<h3 id="the-cost-of-inadequate-infrastructure">The Cost of Inadequate Infrastructure</h3>For a $100M ETH position, each percentage point of uptime below 99% costs approximately $35K annually in lost rewards. Inadequate infrastructure that delivers 98% uptime instead of 99.5% costs $52K annually — far more than the incremental cost of proper redundancy.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-24d372f2-9fa1-4cb4-8386-6934e0728a98.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="500" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/data-src-image-24d372f2-9fa1-4cb4-8386-6934e0728a98.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-24d372f2-9fa1-4cb4-8386-6934e0728a98.png 1000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>But the real risk isn't lost rewards — it's slashing. A single slashing event can cost 1+ full years of staking rewards. Infrastructure failures that lead to slashing can destroy principal that took years to accumulate.<h3 id="the-value-of-proper-security">The Value of Proper Security</h3>Eliminating all risk is impossible in any system. Institutional security standards are instead about ensuring that when things go wrong, failures don't cascade into catastrophic losses.HSMs ensure that even if validation systems are compromised, attackers cannot extract validator keys to cause slashing. Geographic distribution ensures that regional issues don't take down your entire validator set. Access controls and audit logs ensure that any security incident can be investigated and understood.For Lido V3 stVaults, the ability to select operators with proven institutional security standards transforms staking from "hoping nothing goes wrong" to "confident that proper safeguards exist."<h2 id="real-time-monitoring-and-quarterly-optimization">Real-Time Monitoring and Quarterly Optimization</h2>When configuring your stVault, operator selection is the beginning of an ongoing monitoring and optimization process.<h3 id="what-institutional-monitoring-provides">What Institutional Monitoring Provides</h3>At minimum, institutional stakers need alerting for validators going offline, attestation effectiveness falling below threshold levels, and any slashing or penalty events. But sophisticated monitoring tracks validator performance relative to network medians, identifies slow proposal times or inclusion distances, and monitors the broader network for conditions that might affect your validators.The monitoring infrastructure supporting your stVault should integrate with your existing operational systems rather than requiring constant manual checking of dashboards. Alerts should flow to appropriate channels—critical operational issues to on-call staff or your infrastructure provider, performance anomalies to your treasury team, and routine status updates to automated logging systems.<h3 id="ongoing-monitoring-and-performance-management">Ongoing Monitoring and Performance Management</h3>At P2P.org, we provide institutional clients with detailed performance monitoring and regular reviews of validator operations, enabling evidence-based decisions about operator performance.Lido V3 stVaults are designed to enable ongoing optimization of validator sets based on performance data — a key potential advantage over pooled staking where validator selection is fixed.<h2 id="preparing-for-lido-v3-understanding-what-youre-selecting">Preparing for Lido V3: Understanding What You're Selecting</h2>With Lido V3's December 2025 mainnet launch approaching, institutions have a window to understand what operational standards matter before they need to configure their stVaults.<h3 id="the-build-vs-partner-decision">The Build vs. Partner Decision</h3>The operational standards we've described require significant expertise and infrastructure investment. Many institutions lack internal resources for this level of validator oversight, which is why institutional infrastructure providers like P2P.org exist.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-5b24140d-6bed-41ac-956a-3592758a461c.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="700" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/data-src-image-5b24140d-6bed-41ac-956a-3592758a461c.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/data-src-image-5b24140d-6bed-41ac-956a-3592758a461c.png 1000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>An institution with $100M in ETH and sophisticated internal blockchain operations might evaluate operators directly and maintain its own monitoring infrastructure. An institution with $200M in ETH but limited internal blockchain expertise should partner with an infrastructure provider who handles operator evaluation while delivering the transparency and control that governance requires.At P2P.org, we work with institutions in both models. Some leverage our infrastructure for execution while maintaining direct oversight of operational decisions. Others prefer we handle operational aspects while maintaining visibility into performance and key metrics.The right model depends on your organization's capabilities, risk tolerance, and preference for control versus operational efficiency.<h2 id="what-this-means-for-your-stvault-strategy">What This Means for Your stVault Strategy</h2>The operational transparency and validator control that Lido V3 will enable through stVaults only provides institutional value if paired with an understanding of what professional node operations actually entail.Customization through stVaults creates both opportunity and obligation.

It’s a Customizable Staking Revolution: Why Lido V3 Matters for Institutions

<h2 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>Approximately 85 million ETH remains unstaked. For institutional holders, this represents significant foregone rewards — costing ~$3.5M annually per $100M position at current rates</li><li>Lido V3 stVaults deliver customizable institutional staking — jurisdiction-specific validators, automated risk controls, custody integration — at 1/10th the cost of solo operations with <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>'s institutional-grade quality.</li><li>Institutions can now meet governance requirements while maintaining liquid staking efficiency.</li><li><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>'s pre-built integrations with major custody platforms (Fireblocks, Copper) reduce setup from 6-12 months to 2-4 weeks, backed by 99.9% uptime and zero slashing events, managing $10B+ in staked assets.</li></ul>Treasury managers face a paradox that costs billions annually.On one side: approximately 85 million ETH sitting unstaked — representing substantial institutional holdings sitting idle. On the other: staking rewards averaging 3-4% APR with institutional-grade security now available. In the middle: a gap where traditional staking solutions simply don't meet institutional requirements.At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, we've meticulously built institutional staking infrastructure across 40+ networks, managing over $10B in staked assets. In strategy sessions with CFOs and treasury managers, we hear consistent themes: concerns about customization, compliance frameworks, operational control, and vendor risk management. These aren't theoretical obstacles — they're why institutional ETH remains largely unstaked while retail adoption flourished years ago.Lido V3, expected to launch on mainnet in December 2025, will fundamentally change this equation. For the first time, institutions will be able to access customizable, compliant, and capital-efficient Ethereum staking without sacrificing the control and reporting capabilities their boards demand. While mainnet launch is scheduled for December, aspects of the protocol are already live on the Holesky testnet, allowing institutional infrastructure providers like <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a> to prepare implementation frameworks and conduct integration testing ahead of launch.Let’s look at why Lido V3 represents a watershed moment for institutional staking, what specific capabilities matter most to treasury decision-makers, and how organizations can prepare for rapid deployment when V3 goes live.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/lido-v3-comparison3.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/lido-v3-comparison3.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/10/lido-v3-comparison3.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/lido-v3-comparison3.png 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><a href="https://x.com/P2Pvalidator/article/1981004391948652979/media/1980999024451710976?ref=p2p.org"></a><h2 id="the-institutional-staking-gap-why-previous-solutions-fell-short">The Institutional Staking Gap: Why Previous Solutions Fell Short</h2>Before Lido V3, institutional treasury managers faced an unappealing set of tradeoffs.<h3 id="the-solo-staking-burden">The Solo Staking Burden</h3>Solo staking offered maximum control but came with prohibitive operational complexity. Running your own validators means hiring specialized DevOps teams, maintaining 24/7 monitoring infrastructure, managing slashing risks, and dealing with the technical burden of Ethereum client updates. For a $100 million ETH position, the operational overhead typically exceeds $500K annually — assuming you can even recruit the specialized talent required.<h3 id="the-pooled-staking-compromise">The Pooled Staking Compromise</h3>Traditional liquid staking (including Lido V2) solved operational burden but introduced new institutional problems. The "one-size-fits-all" validator set meant no ability to customize for regulatory requirements. Treasury teams couldn't select validators based on jurisdiction, compliance certifications, or institutional relationships.Perhaps most critically, boards and compliance teams struggled with the lack of granular control and audit capabilities. The result? Billions in opportunity cost as institutional ETH remained unstaked.<h2 id="three-critical-gaps">Three Critical Gaps</h2>1. Compliance Inflexibility Standard liquid staking used democratically-selected validator sets. This works for retail but creates complexity for institutions under regulatory oversight. How does a Singapore-based fund ensure its validator set complies with MAS guidelines? For compliance teams, the answer was often: "We can't approve this structure."2. Integration Friction Enterprise treasury systems required substantial custom development to integrate with liquid staking protocols — 6-12 month implementation timelines and costs that rivaled first-year rewards benefits. CFOs reviewing proposals saw marginal business cases once implementation costs were factored in.3. Control & Visibility Gaps Boards expect detailed reporting and risk management capabilities. Previous solutions offered limited visibility into validator performance, no ability to customize fee structures, and minimal control over risk parameters. Treasury managers faced an impossible choice: full control with a massive operational burden, or operational simplicity with unacceptable control limitations.<h2 id="what-lido-v3-actually-changes-stvaults-explained">What Lido V3 Actually Changes: stVaults Explained</h2>Lido V3 introduces stVaults — customizable staking vaults that bridge institutional requirements with liquid staking efficiency.Think of stVaults as individually tailored staking configurations within the broader Lido protocol. Each stVault has its own validator set, fee structure, risk parameters, and integration specifications. Critically, stVault tokens remain liquid and can be used across DeFi, maintaining capital efficiency.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/stvault-flow-diagram.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1400" height="400" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/stvault-flow-diagram.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/10/stvault-flow-diagram.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/stvault-flow-diagram.png 1400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><a href="https://x.com/P2Pvalidator/article/1981004391948652979/media/1980999226885644288?ref=p2p.org"></a><h2 id="what-customizable-actually-means-in-practice">What "Customizable" Actually Means in Practice</h2>For institutional decision-makers, customization translates to four specific capabilities that traditional pooled staking cannot provide:Validator Curation: Select from Lido's vetted operator set based on your criteria — jurisdiction, compliance certifications, institutional relationships, or performance history. A Singapore fund can build a vault exclusively with Asia-Pacific operators holding relevant certifications. A US institution can require validators with US presence and SOC2 compliance.Risk Parameters: Set custom performance thresholds, diversification requirements, and operator limits aligned with your risk framework. Define maximum allocation per operator, minimum uptime requirements, or geographic diversification mandates — all enforced automatically via smart contracts.Integration Specifications: Configure API access, reporting formats, and treasury system connections matching your existing infrastructure. Your custody platform, treasury management system, and reporting dashboards integrate via standardized endpoints rather than requiring protocol-specific custom development.Governance Rights: Participate in vault-specific decisions independently from broader Lido governance. Your compliance requirements drive your vault's configuration, not protocol-wide governance votes that may not align with institutional needs.This level of customization was previously available only through solo staking, at 10x the operational cost and complexity.<h2 id="five-institutional-benefits-that-drive-adoption">Five Institutional Benefits That Drive Adoption</h2> 1: Compliance-Ready ArchitectureThe regulatory landscape for institutional crypto staking remains complex and jurisdiction-dependent. Lido V3's customization transforms this from a barrier into a manageable process.With stVaults, a Singapore-based institution can create a validator set exclusively featuring operators in Singapore or Switzerland, maintaining MAS compliance while accessing liquid staking benefits. Need SOC 2 certifications from all operators? Want insurance coverage? These requirements encode directly into validator selection criteria.stVaults provide vault-specific reporting that isolates your institution's activity from the broader protocol, simplifying audits and regulatory reporting. Rather than explaining how the entire Lido protocol works to auditors, you provide clear documentation of your specific vault configuration and performance history.2: Treasury Integration SimplicityIntegration complexity has historically been one of the biggest barriers. Lido V3 addresses this through API-first design that meets treasury teams where they are.stVaults provide standardized API endpoints that integrate with platforms like Fireblocks, Copper, or Anchorage Digital without protocol-specific custom development. Implementation timelines measure in weeks, not quarters.At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, we've pre-built integrations with major custody platforms, reducing implementation from 6-12 months to 2-4 weeks. Your CFO's dashboard shows staking positions alongside traditional treasury positions with consistent formatting—no separate systems, no manual reconciliation.3: Granular Risk ManagementSophisticated institutional investors require granular risk management capabilities and the ability to adjust strategies as conditions evolve.stVaults allow institutions to set specific risk controls: maximum percentage per operator (e.g., no more than 10% with one validator), minimum performance thresholds (e.g., 99% uptime requirement), and automatic rebalancing triggers. These parameters execute automatically via smart contracts.Unlike opaque staking solutions, stVaults provide granular performance data at the operator level. At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, our institutional clients receive quarterly performance reviews comparing each operator against network medians, enabling evidence-based strategy adjustments.4: Transparent Cost OptimizationUnlike solo staking's hidden costs (infrastructure, personnel, software, monitoring tools), stVault fees are explicit and predictable. For a $100M position earning 3.5% APR ($3.5M annually), total fees might be $350K — far below the $500K+ required for solo staking infrastructure.Beyond direct costs, capital efficiency advantages include: no 32 ETH validator minimums (deploy capital at any increment), immediate liquidity through stVault tokens versus withdrawal delays, no specialized hiring requirements, and eliminated single-point-of-failure risks from in-house infrastructure.5: Institutional-Grade InfrastructurestVaults only deliver value if built on a reliable infrastructure. Validator downtime directly impacts returns — for a $100M position, each percentage point of uptime below 99% costs approximately $35K annually in lost rewards.<h2 id="p2porgs-institutional-track-record"><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>'s Institutional Track Record</h2>At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">P2P.org</a>, we operate institutional-grade validation infrastructure, managing $10B+ in staked assets across 40+ networks.

Our integration team has pre-built connections to major custody platforms, reducing implementation timelines from months to weeks.<h2 id="the-competitive-landscape-why-institutions-are-moving-now">The Competitive Landscape: Why Institutions Are Moving Now</h2>Market conditions have aligned to create an unprecedented opportunity for institutional Ethereum staking.Regulatory Clarity Is EmergingAfter years of uncertainty, regulatory frameworks for institutional crypto staking are solidifying. This regulatory maturation removes the primary barrier that kept institutional capital on the sidelines. Boards that previously couldn't approve staking due to regulatory uncertainty now have frameworks for compliant participation.Infrastructure Has Reached Enterprise StandardsThe early days of Ethereum staking featured high slashing rates and operational complexity that made institutional participation impractical. The infrastructure landscape has transformed — client software is mature and battle-tested, professional operators deliver 99.9%+ uptime as standard, sophisticated monitoring prevents incidents, and withdrawal capabilities (enabled in 2023) eliminate forced illiquidity.First-Mover Advantages MatterInstitutions deploying capital into staking today gain strategic advantages, including optimal fee negotiations with operators eager to win large, stable deposits, operational learning curves that enable faster scaling, and strategic relationships with leading infrastructure providers that develop over time.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/staking-evolution-timeline.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1400" height="500" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/10/staking-evolution-timeline.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/10/staking-evolution-timeline.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/10/staking-evolution-timeline.png 1400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><a href="https://x.com/P2Pvalidator/article/1981004391948652979/media/1980999426127663104?ref=p2p.org"></a><h2 id="the-path-forward">The Path Forward</h2>The institutional staking landscape has fundamentally transformed.

<h3 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h3><ul><li>Over $5B in Canadian staked digital assets are held with U.S. custodians, outside our jurisdiction.</li><li>Canadian solutions are expensive and introduce regulatory complexity.</li><li>The Balance and P2P.org integration offers a pathway for Canadian institutions to stake Ethereum while maintaining their assets in Canada, with full legal title and control throughout.</li></ul>For years, Canadian institutions wanting to stake digital assets at scale faced a complex trilemma: use Canadian platforms and lose legal asset title, move assets out of Canadian custody and into U.S.-controlled platforms, or miss out on staking rewards entirely.In time, over $5 billion of staked Canadian digital assets ended up sitting with U.S. custodians. Starting today, they can come home and enjoy consensus rewards without sacrificing security or sovereignty.Balance and P2P.org have integrated their platforms to enable institutions to stake within a Canadian custody framework, with Ethereum as the choice asset to start and more to follow. This brings together Balance's world-class safekeeping technology with P2P.org's $10+ billion staking infrastructure.Through this integration, Balance’s clients can stake ETH securely from their existing offline or warm custody wallets via P2P.org, without taking needless operational risk or compromising on compliance.<h2 id="the-northern-gateway-why-canadian-institutions-are-switching">The Northern Gateway: Why Canadian Institutions Are Switching</h2> While Canadian institutions hold billions in crypto, the reliance on U.S. custodians for getting access to a diverse array of staking providers results in high fees, increased regulatory complexity, and brings about concerns around sovereignty. Balance changes this equation. As a qualified Canadian custodian with a fully proprietary technology stack, Balance offers what U.S. and even some local custodians can't: true safekeeping of staked assets on Canadian soil and under exclusive Canadian jurisdiction.P2P.org brings the performance:<ul><li>99.9% uptime across 90,000+ validators</li><li>Zero slashing events recorded so far. </li><li>Currently securing $10+ billion across 40+ blockchain networks.</li><li>Constant top 3 efficiency on Rated.network's RAVER metric — ahead of 98% of global validators.</li></ul>Balance has been a pioneer in Canada’s digital asset space since its inception, setting the standard for security, regulatory compliance, and institutional trust. As staking is an essential part of Ethereum, Canadian institutions need a tried and tested, compliant way to secure its consensus and earn rewards.P2P.org operates one of the highest-performing Ethereum validator infrastructures globally, consistently ranking in the top 5 on <a href="https://rated.network/?ref=p2p.org">Rated.network’s</a> RAVER efficiency metric. Our platform is non-custodial by design, meaning validator nodes cannot access client funds, mitigating operational and security risks.Together, Balance and P2P.org are unlocking ETH staking at true institutional scale.<h2 id="stake-eth-without-leaving-secure-custody">Stake ETH Without Leaving Secure Custody</h2>For many institutions, secure custody is the cornerstone of their journey in digital assets.

It’s staking at the highest performance levels:<ul><li>Consistent top 5 efficiency among Ethereum validators (Rated.network)</li><li>Geographically distributed infrastructure to reduce correlated downtime risk</li><li>Active participation in Ethereum protocol upgrades to stay ahead of operational best practices</li></ul><h2 id="the-leadership-viewpoint">The Leadership Viewpoint </h2>"Canadian institutions have long faced trade-offs between maintaining domestic custody and participating in protocol-level staking. Through this integration with P2P.org, our clients can now initiate ETH staking from within a Canadian-first custody framework, aligning operational security with jurisdictional clarity. This represents a meaningful step forward in building digital asset infrastructure rooted in true institutional sovereignty." — George Bordianu, co-founder and CEO - Balance”Balance didn't just want another staking integration, but to redefine what's possible for Canadian institutions. Their proprietary stack combined with our validator performance creates something unique: institutional-grade staking that's genuinely Canadian-controlled.

SUI Holders Can Now Stake Directly with P2P.org in Ledger Live

<h2 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>SUI staking goes native: No external sites, no asset movement, just 5 clicks in Ledger Live to start earning 2.6% APY with automatic daily compounding</li><li>You're using institutional-grade validator infrastructure: The same infrastructure managing institutions' nine-figure positions now protects your stake with 99.99% uptime across three global data centers</li><li>White label flexibility for institutions: The exact integration powering "Ledger by P2P.org" is available for exchanges, wallets, and custody platforms to offer native staking under their own brand</li></ul>Ledger Live's 7 million users can now stake SUI natively through their hardware wallet interface, utilizing P2P.org's the same institutional-grade validator infrastructure. Starting today, the "Ledger by P2P.org" validator enables direct staking with just one click, no asset movement, and automatic reward compounding every epoch.This changes the risk-reward equation for SUI holders completely. You're no longer choosing between security and rewards. The same validator maintaining 99.99% uptime since SUI testnet — processing over $500 million in staked assets — now sits directly inside your Ledger Live app. Our optimized operations deliver around 2.6%, with rewards compounding automatically every 24 hours. That's 8,760 compound events per year working for your position. <h2 id="the-numbers-behind-our-9999-uptime">The Numbers Behind Our 99.99% Uptime</h2>Our 99.99% uptime didn't happen by accident. During the March 2024 network congestion event, we delayed our planned maintenance window by 72 hours after our monitoring detected unusual transaction patterns across the network. While three major validators experienced brief outages during the subsequent upgrade, our decision to wait preserved uptime for all delegators. This is thanks to systematic decisions we made based on redundant monitoring across Singapore, Frankfurt, and Virginia data centers.The technical stack matters for your stake. We run validators on dedicated hardware with 2x the recommended specifications, not because SUI requires it today, but because network demands spike unpredictably. Our auto-compounding system triggers within 90 seconds of each epoch completion, capturing rewards before the next epoch begins.Our unbonding period stands at exactly one epoch — 24 hours — compared to the 2-3 epoch standard among most validators. When you need liquidity, you get it faster. This isn't achieved through shortcuts but through maintaining higher collateral ratios and separate operational wallets that ensure network security while providing flexibility.<h2 id="how-it-works-5-clicks-60-seconds">How It Works: 5 Clicks, 60 Seconds</h2>Step 1: Navigate to Staking Open Ledger Live → SUI wallet → Click "Earn Rewards"Step 2: Choose Your Validator Select "Ledger by P2P.org" from the validator list (That's us — same infrastructure, white label branding)Step 3: Set Your Amount Enter your stake (minimum: 1 SUI)Review the transaction summary showing your ~2.6% APYStep 4: Confirm on Device Approve using your Ledger's physical buttons (Your keys never leave the hardware)Step 5: Start Earning Stake activates at next epoch (within 24 hours)Rewards begin compounding automatically every epochThat's it. No external websites. No address copying. No seed phrase exposure. The integration happens at the protocol level — your SUI never leaves your custody.Rewards appear automatically in your staking balance every 24 hours, compounding without any action required. When you need to unstake, the same interface handles withdrawal with our single-epoch (24-hour) unbonding period.That's the entire process. No external websites, no address copying, no seed phrase exposure. The integration happens at the protocol level, meaning your SUI never leaves your custody. Rewards appear automatically in your staking balance every epoch, compounding without any action required. When you're ready to unstake, the same interface handles withdrawal with our single-epoch unbonding period.<h2 id="our-unique-differentiators">Our Unique Differentiators</h2>Lowest Entry Barrier: 1 SUIWhile many validators set arbitrary minimums, we accept stakes from 1 SUI. Every holder can access the same infrastructure and returns regardless of position size. No tiered rates, no premium requirements.Fastest Unbonding: 24 Hours Single-epoch unbonding provides liquidity when you need it. Our higher collateral ratios and operational reserves enable this flexibility without compromising network security or validator performance.Tax-Efficient Auto-Compounding Automatic compounding every epoch maximizes returns while simplifying tax reporting. Instead of hundreds of manual claim transactions, your rewards accumulate within the staking position, potentially qualifying for long-term capital gains treatment in many jurisdictions.Foundation Delegation Program Participant The SUI Foundation selected P2P.org for their delegation program, adding 8 million SUI to our validator. This external validation came after extensive technical review and demonstrates alignment with network development goals.<h2 id="institutional-validation">Institutional Validation</h2>Our infrastructure supports over $10 billion in staked assets from the biggest institutions globally across 40+ networks. The SUI Foundation's delegation program added P2P.org to its select validator set after reviewing our performance metrics, technical contributions, and operational standards.<h3 id="the-same-infrastructure-your-brand">The Same Infrastructure, Your Brand</h3>This integration is not just available to Ledger. It's actually our white label solution in action—and it's processing millions in daily volume for names you'd recognize. Exchanges use it to offer native staking without hiring a DevOps team. Custody platforms integrate it to unlock rewards for clients without touching their security model. Wallets embed it to compete with centralized alternatives.The "Ledger by P2P.org" validator demonstrates the model: your brand, our infrastructure. Same battle-tested API that handles everything from $10 retail stakes to $10 million institutional positions. Same redundancy that's maintained 99.99% uptime across 40+ networks.We built it to scale—from a single API call to full white-glove integration. Whether you're a fintech adding network rewards to your app or a custody provider serving hedge funds, the infrastructure adapts to your needs, not the other way around.<h2 id="start-staking-today">Start Staking Today</h2>Ledger Users: Update Ledger Live and navigate to your SUI wallet.

As more institutional players commit capital to the network, the infrastructure supporting these positions becomes increasingly critical. Today's Ledger Live integration brings that institutional standard to every SUI holder.<hr><h2 id="faqs">FAQs</h2>Q: Do I need to update my Ledger firmware to stake SUI? A: Yes, ensure your Ledger device runs the latest firmware and the SUI app is updated. Ledger Live will prompt you if updates are needed.Q: How quickly do rewards start accumulating? A: Rewards begin at the next epoch boundary after staking, typically within 24 hours. Your first rewards appear after one complete epoch cycle.Q: Can I add to my staked position without unstaking? A: Yes, you can add additional SUI to your staked position at any time through the same Ledger Live interface. New stakes merge with existing positions.Q: What happens if P2P.org's validator goes offline? A: Our 99.99% uptime record spans 18 months. In the unlikely event of downtime, our redundant systems activate within 30 seconds.

<h1 id=""></h1><h2 id="tldr">TL;DR </h2><ul><li>P2P.org is the first validator enabling BTC-denominated rewards for institutional Bitcoin staking on Babylon.</li><li>Under the standard non-custodial flow, rewards settle in BTC (no client-side conversions).</li><li>Enterprise-grade infrastructure ($10B+ secured across 40+ networks), SOC 2 Type I controls.</li><li>Built for clean BTC exposure and reporting, not headline APRs</li></ul><h2 id="the-bitcoin-treasury-dilemma-finally-has-an-answer">The Bitcoin Treasury Dilemma Finally Has an Answer</h2>For institutional Bitcoin holders, the math has been frustrating: watch your BTC sit idle, or navigate a maze of wrapped tokens, conversion risks, and operational complexity that makes compliance teams nervous.Babylon changed the game. By introducing native Bitcoin staking, it created a breakthrough that unlocked real utility for BTC without requiring wrapping or conversion. Through Babylon, institutions can delegate their Bitcoin directly and earn rewards from Bitcoin-Secured Networks (BSNs), marking a fundamental shift in how BTC can generate value while staying on its native chain.Now, P2P.org builds on this foundation by helping institutional clients receive their rewards directly in Bitcoin. This removes the need for conversions, simplifies reporting, and keeps everything in the asset they already hold and trust — Bitcoin.<h2 id="what-weve-built">What We've Built</h2>Bitcoin staking that works like Bitcoin should Your BTC participates in network security through Babylon's protocol, earns staking rewards, and those rewards settle directly in BTC. No wrapped tokens. No manual conversions. No explaining to your CFO why your Bitcoin position suddenly includes three other assets.Built for institutional operations from day one SOC 2 Type I controls, that make compliance reviews smooth instead of stressful.Proven at scale Our infrastructure secures $10B+ across 40+ networks. We've handled the edge cases, optimized for uptime, and built the monitoring systems that institutional volumes demand.This added layer removes the need for internal teams to manage swaps, navigate low-liquidity assets, or reconcile multiple tokens across wallets. Instead, institutions can stake BTC and receive BTC — no manual conversions, no complex custody workflows, and no added compliance overhead. It’s a clean, simplified path that aligns with internal risk and treasury management policies, especially for funds and custodians that are unable or unwilling to hold long-tail assets like BSN tokens.<h2 id="-1"></h2><h2 id="enterprise-grade-infrastructure-that-actually-delivers">Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure That Actually Delivers</h2>Security posture: SOC 2 Type I controls, segregated key management, role-based access protocols, and 24/7 monitoring. The same security standards we apply to our $10B+ in secured assets.Operational reliability: targets backed by redundant infrastructure, automated failover systems, and incident response playbooks refined across 40+ networks.White-glove support: Dedicated onboarding, SLA-backed response times, and the custom reporting formats your finance team needs.<h2 id="building-the-future-of-institutional-bitcoin">Building the Future of Institutional Bitcoin</h2>This product is built for institutions: custodians, exchanges, ETF issuers, and other large-scale Bitcoin holders, that want to offer staking without the operational complexity of managing altcoin rewards. By delivering rewards directly in BTC, it removes the need to support or custody BSN-native tokens, simplifies internal workflows, and eliminates the hassle of reward conversions and reconciliations. This makes it easier to integrate Bitcoin staking into existing infrastructure, while enabling institutions to offer a clean, BTC-native experience to their users, even if they don’t support the underlying BSN tokens. The result is a more attractive, scalable, and compliant product offering with none of the usual overhead.Over the next quarters, we'll expand this foundation:<ul><li>Additional Bitcoin-native protocols as they mature</li><li>Enhanced custody integrations</li><li>Expanded reporting and analytics capabilities</li></ul>We’re just getting started. As more Bitcoin-native protocols emerge and institutional interest deepens, our goal is to provide the foundation and tooling needed to support this next chapter of Bitcoin utility — secure, scalable, and truly native.<h2 id="getting-started">Getting Started</h2>For institutions: Our team is ready to walk through implementation, SLA structures, and reporting requirements. The onboarding process is designed to fit your existing operational framework.For platforms and builders: Bitcoin staking infrastructure can become a clean building block for institutional products. Let's explore integration opportunities.For Bitcoin treasuries: Start with a pilot allocation to understand the operational flow and reporting outputs before scaling to larger positions.<h2 id="next-steps">Next Steps</h2>Ready to explore Bitcoin staking that actually works for institutional operations?<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://calendly.com/d/cq26-96v-sr3/intro-call-with-the-p2p-sales-team?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Contact our team here</a></div> <h2 id="faqs">FAQs</h2>Is this through Babylon? Yes - initial support is via the Babylon protocol, operated by P2P.org.How are rewards paid? Under the standard non-custodial flow, rewards settle in BTC (no client-side conversions). Do you custody assets? No. Custody remains with the client (self/MPC/qualified custodian).Is this lending or wrapped BTC? No. This is protocol participation with BTC-denominated settlement; it does not rely on lending or wrapped assets.Will you support other protocols? Babylon is first; additional integrations may be added based on demand and due diligence.<h2 id="disclaimer">Disclaimer</h2>Rewards are variable and not guaranteed.

P2P.org Powers Mantle’s x Gauntlet Premier cmETH Vault: $150M Already Allocated

<h2 id="tldr">TL;DR</h2><ul><li>Symbiotic's #1 Operator: P2P.org currently manages $1.3B in delegated assets, giving intermediaries access to the protocol's most dominant infrastructure provider</li><li>$150M+ Client Demand: Professional allocators moved fast, proving institutional appetite for unified restaking exposure through trusted intermediaries</li><li>First-Mover Edge: While competitors debate strategy, sophisticated intermediaries are already offering clients diversified EigenLayer, Karak, and Symbiotic network rewards through a single position</li></ul>P2P.org dominates Symbiotic's operator landscape with $1.3B in delegated assets — more than any competitor. Today, we're leveraging this market-leading position to power the cmETH Restaked mETH Vault by Mantle’s mETH Protocol, curated by Gauntlet, which has already attracted over $150M+ in institutional capital within days of launch.For intermediaries serving sophisticated clients, this represents something crucial: access to institutional-grade restaking infrastructure managing 362,331 ETH in total staked value and 196,664 mETH actively restaked across multiple protocols with infrastructure that your clients can't get anywhere else.<h2 id="why-intermediaries-are-moving-first">Why Intermediaries Are Moving First</h2>Smart intermediaries understand what their clients need before the clients themselves recognize it. The cmETH vault solves the operational complexity that's been holding back institutional restaking adoption.Here's the client problem you can now solve:Traditional liquid restaking forces clients to choose between protocols — EigenLayer OR Karak, OR Symbiotic. Managing multiple positions means multiple custody relationships, multiple risk assessments, and multiple operational headaches.<blockquote>“One position. Three protocol exposures. All of it together with best-in-class infrastructure management by the market's dominant operator.” </blockquote>The cmETH vault eliminates this entirely. One position. Three protocol exposures. All of it, together with best-in-class infrastructure management by the market's dominant operator.Your clients get diversified restaking rewards without the operational burden. You get a differentiated product that positions you ahead of intermediaries still offering single-protocol solutions.<h2 id="the-infrastructure-advantage-your-clients-demand">The Infrastructure Advantage Your Clients Demand</h2>When you recommend the cmETH vault, you’re providing access to P2P.org's institutional-grade infrastructure — the same systems that process billions in assets without failure.Professional infrastructure that clients can verify:<ul><li>Permissionless and Live: Fully operational system with 362,331 ETH staked and 196,664 mETH restaked</li><li>Advanced Oracle System: 3-of-6 quorum requirement with 8-hour update frequency ensuring data integrity</li><li>Capital Efficiency: Both mETH and cmETH function as collateral across DeFi and centralized applications</li><li>Omnichain Capability: LayerZero OFT standard enables 5-minute cross-chain bridging with zero slippage</li></ul>Why our scale matters for your client outcomes:<ul><li>99.99%+ uptime across 40+ networks means consistent performance</li><li>Zero slashing incidents in our operational history protects client capital</li><li>$1.3B Symbiotic TVL provides priority access to emerging opportunities</li><li>Institutional infrastructure built for the clients you serve</li></ul>Smaller operators can't deliver this level of reliability. When client assets are on the line, infrastructure quality isn't negotiable.<h2 id="risk-management-that-satisfies-client-requirements">Risk Management That Satisfies Client Requirements</h2>Your institutional clients don't want experimental network reward strategies. They want methodical risk assessment combined with proven execution.The cmETH vault delivers exactly this through Gauntlet's quantitative risk framework. Every allocation decision is data-driven. Every strategy is thoroughly modeled. No untested protocols, no experimental approaches.Client benefits you can confidently present:<ul><li>Non-slashable security prioritizing capital preservation across all restaking positions</li><li>Instant deposits with no fees for cmETH restaking positions</li><li>Multi-protocol exposure across EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak simultaneously</li><li>Professional curation with 20% protocol fee structure aligned with growth initiatives</li><li>Flexible liquidity with up to 7-day withdrawal windows depending on protocol inventory</li><li>Omnichain accessibility via LayerZero with 5-minute bridging and zero slippage</li><li>Symbiotic points accumulation for additional reward opportunities</li></ul><h2 id="the-competitive-edge-first-mover-access">The Competitive Edge: First-Mover Access</h2>The first $170M attracted within days signals something important: when institutional-quality infrastructure becomes available, sophisticated capital moves quickly.For intermediaries, this creates a clear competitive dynamic.

P2P.org Becomes Early Validator on Ika Network: Unlocking Sub-Second Cross-Chain Rewards for Institutions

P2P.org expands its institutional-grade staking infrastructure to Ika Network, the world's first sub-second MPC network launching on Sui. Here's what this means for institutional reward strategies.<h2 id="the-cross-chain-challenge-institutions-face-today">The Cross-Chain Challenge Institutions Face Today</h2>Institutional investors managing digital assets across multiple blockchains face a critical bottleneck: existing bridge solutions take 30+ seconds to minutes for cross-chain operations, creating unacceptable delays for trading strategies and liquidity management. Traditional bridges also introduce counterparty risk through wrapped tokens and centralized operators — a non-starter for compliance-focused institutions.This is where Ika Network changes everything.

One API to Stake Them All — The Infrastructure Layer Crypto Was Missing

It’s been about a month since the Unified API went live. No big announcement. No loud campaign. Just a quiet rollout of something we knew would solve a painful, structural problem: fragmented staking infrastructure across chains.The Unified API replaces the patchwork of chain-specific staking integrations with a single, standardized interface. That means one integration that unlocks the complete staking flow across Ethereum (SSV), Solana, TON, Babylon, Avail and many more chains (over 20 in fact). And critically, it’s already working in production offering staking at scale, with cleaner codebases, fewer edge cases, and dramatically reduced time-to-market for new network support.<h2 id="one-format-to-stake-them-all">One Format to Stake Them All</h2>Historically, staking integrations have been a pain to maintain. Each new network brings its own logic, signing requirements, and monitoring quirks. The result? High integration costs, inconsistent user experiences, and ongoing maintenance that scales linearly with the number of supported chains.The Unified API breaks that pattern.All networks supported via the API share the same structural request and response format. Stake Solana or Babylon, or Ethereum via SSV; it doesn’t matter. The staking flow is the same. Your backend logic stays clean. Your frontend doesn’t need to be rebuilt. Adding a new chain no longer means writing new infrastructure.And since we abstract away the underlying validator infrastructure, your team can stay focused on user experience, while P2P.org ensures network-level performance and uptime.<h2 id="already-live-already-delivering">Already Live, Already Delivering</h2>The past month has been proof that the Unified API is a production-grade infrastructure. Teams already using it have reported dramatic reductions in dev effort per chain, and faster rollout cycles for new staking products.With built-in support for key networks and more coming, including up to 30 by Q3 2025, the Unified API is designed to scale as your ambitions grow. Whether you’re launching a new staking product or expanding an existing one, the integration effort remains the same: connect once, access everything.We’re also continuing to refine what the API can do. Features like tracking the status of the staking position and audit history are already in development.For developers, we've already shipped a new <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@p2p-org/signer-sdk?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Signer SDK</a>, providing transaction signing logic for all supported networks.<h2 id="built-for-real-world-teams">Built for Real-World Teams</h2>This wasn’t designed as a theoretical abstraction. It was built in response to the operational friction our partners experienced over the years of scaling staking infrastructure.The Unified API offers:<ul><li>A faster way to support multiple networks</li><li>A consistent staking UX across protocols</li><li>Less complexity for dev teams</li><li>A direct path to revenue for platforms offering staking-as-a-service </li></ul>It’s infrastructure, but opinionated. Lightweight, but extensible. And more importantly, it’s here, it’s working, and it’s growing.<h2 id="explore-the-unified-api">Explore the Unified API</h2>If your team is working on a staking dashboard, DeFi aggregator, or wallet app, and you’re tired of managing five different staking SDKs, it’s time to streamline.The Unified API is ready now. The question is: how many networks do you want to support this quarter?→ <a href="https://docs.p2p.org/docs/contacts?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=API+blog_10.07#/">Request access or book a demo</a>→ <a href="https://docs.p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=API+blog_10.07#/">See documentation</a>
