Twinstake is an institutional staking provider that operates non-custodial validator infrastructure across proof-of-stake networks. It offers staking and delegation through an API, a web portal, and a concierge service. It works only with institutional clients, each screened through KYC and AML checks. Clients keep control of their assets while Twinstake runs the validators and reports rewards by asset, validator, and reward type. Compliance controls include sanctions-aligned onboarding, compliance-focused Ethereum node setups, and audit trails. Slashing insurance and validator and slashing alerts cover the risk of validator penalties. An activation and exit calculator helps clients plan validator activations and exits. The flagship offering, Twinstake Staking, combines these access channels with restaking, liquid staking access, and Bitcoin staking. Twinstake is also a signer in the strkBTC Federation, which supports BTC movement between Bitcoin and Starknet. It is used by asset managers, funds, ETP issuers, custodians, exchanges, and crypto foundations. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-02-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/twinstake ## Products - [Twinstake Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/twinstake): Twinstake Staking is a non-custodial institutional staking service for delegating across multiple proof-of-stake networks.
