P2P.org and Paribu Custody Unlock $338B MENA Staking Opportunity for Global Institutions

<h3 id="at-a-glance"><strong>At a Glance:</strong></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><p></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h2 id="the-northern-gateway-why-canadian-institutions-are-switching">The Northern Gateway: Why Canadian Institutions Are Switching</h2><p>&nbsp;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.</p><p>&nbsp;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.</p><p><strong>P2P.org brings the performance:</strong></p><ul><li>99.9% uptime across 90,000+ validators</li><li>Zero slashing events recorded so far.&nbsp;</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><p>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.</p><p>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"><u>Rated.network’s</u></a> RAVER efficiency metric. Our platform is non-custodial by design, meaning validator nodes cannot access client funds, mitigating operational and security risks.</p><p>Together, Balance and P2P.org are unlocking ETH staking at true institutional scale.</p><h2 id="stake-eth-without-leaving-secure-custody"><strong>Stake ETH Without Leaving Secure Custody</strong></h2><p>For many institutions, secure custody is the cornerstone of their journey in digital assets.

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."<br>— <strong>George Bordianu, co-founder and CEO - Balance</strong></p><p>”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. When a large portion of institutional ETH holders globally are staking, Canadian institutions should have equal opportunities.”<br>— <strong>Artemiy Parshakov, VP of Institutions - </strong><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org"><strong><u>P2P.org</u></strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><h3 id="get-started"><strong>Get Started</strong></h3><p>The integration is live.

<h2 id="at-a-glance"><strong>At a Glance:</strong></h2><ul><li><strong>SUI staking goes native: </strong>No external sites, no asset movement, just 5 clicks in Ledger Live to start earning 2.6% APY with automatic daily compounding</li><li><strong>You're using institutional-grade validator infrastructure</strong>: The same infrastructure managing institutions' nine-figure positions now protects your stake with 99.99% uptime across three global data centers</li><li><strong>White label flexibility for institutions: </strong>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><p>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.</p><p>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.<br></p><h2 id="the-numbers-behind-our-9999-uptime"><strong>The Numbers Behind Our 99.99% Uptime</strong></h2><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h2 id="how-it-works-5-clicks-60-seconds"><strong>How It Works: 5 Clicks, 60 Seconds</strong></h2><p><strong>Step 1: Navigate to Staking</strong> <br>Open Ledger Live → SUI wallet → Click "Earn Rewards"</p><p><strong>Step 2: Choose Your Validator</strong><br>Select "Ledger by P2P.org" from the validator list <em>(That's us — same infrastructure, white label branding)</em></p><p><strong>Step 3: Set Your Amount</strong> <br>Enter your stake (minimum: 1 SUI)Review the transaction summary showing your ~2.6% APY</p><p><strong>Step 4: Confirm on Device</strong> <br>Approve using your Ledger's physical buttons <em>(Your keys never leave the hardware)</em></p><p><strong>Step 5: Start Earning</strong> <br>Stake activates at next epoch (within 24 hours)Rewards begin compounding automatically every epoch</p><p><strong>That's it.</strong> No external websites.

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.</p><h2 id="our-unique-differentiators"><strong>Our Unique Differentiators</strong></h2><p><strong>Lowest Entry Barrier: 1 SUI</strong>While 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.</p><p><strong>Fastest Unbonding: 24 Hours</strong><br>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.</p><p><strong>Tax-Efficient Auto-Compounding</strong><br>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.</p><p><strong>Foundation Delegation Program Participant</strong><br>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.</p><h2 id="institutional-validation"><strong>Institutional Validation</strong></h2><p>Our infrastructure supports over $10 billion in staked assets from the biggest institutions globally across 40+ networks.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>We built it to scale—from a single API call to full white-glove integration.

Ledger Live will prompt you if updates are needed.</p><p><strong>Q: How quickly do rewards start accumulating?</strong> <br>A: Rewards begin at the next epoch boundary after staking, typically within 24 hours. Your first rewards appear after one complete epoch cycle.</p><p><strong>Q: Can I add to my staked position without unstaking?</strong> <br>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.</p><p><strong>Q: What happens if P2P.org's validator goes offline?</strong> <br>A: Our 99.99% uptime record spans 18 months. In the unlikely event of downtime, our redundant systems activate within 30 seconds.
