What are Staking Service Providers?
Staking Service Providers offer tools and platforms that enable users and developers to participate in blockchain staking without managing validator infrastructure directly. These services typically include delegation management, reward distribution, and node operation on behalf of users. They cater to individual token holders, institutional investors, and projects seeking to secure proof-of-stake networks or earn staking rewards efficiently. Key features of these providers include simplified staking processes, automated reward handling, and often enhanced security and uptime guarantees. Subcategories may include liquid staking platforms, validator-as-a-service, and staking pools. Developers should consider these tools when building applications that require staking integration or when they want to offer staking options to their users without the complexity of running their own nodes.
