Twinstake & Komainu

Before: High Client Demand, Tight Custody Constraints

As Komainu evolved beyond secure custody to unlock greater asset utility, staking emerged as the natural next layer. Institutional clients holding digital assets increasingly expected those assets to contribute to network governance and earn rewards.

But enabling staking inside a custodial framework wasnʼt trivial.

Komainu needed to ensure:

• Custodial control was never compromised
• AML screening and compliance were airtight.
• Each staking chain conformed to internal policies around asset segregation
• Any validator partner passed a stringent due diligence process covering technology, audits, and slashing insurance

Komainuʼs product strategy was clear: deliver staking only if it met Tier 1 infrastructure and legal standards.

After: Twinstake Integration Delivered Confidence and Control

Twinstakeʼs infrastructure, processes, and responsiveness helped Komainu launch a staking layer that aligned with both product goals and regulatory expectations.

Highlights of the integration:

• Custody-first staking setup where assets remain visible and auditable from Komainuʼs systems
• Support for ETH validators with pre-signed exit messages to fulfill business continuity planning (BCP) requirements
• API transparency, including visibility over every staking transaction before signature vitally essential for internal signing policies
• Validator due diligence passed, including slashing insurance and audit proofing
• Collaborative tech support, with regular touchpoints, custom development prioritization, and roadmap alignment

Twinstake didnʼt just provide staking infrastructure. It supported Komainuʼs institutional product rigor with bespoke engineering and governance-aware support.

Outcome: Scaling Staking Without Friction

The integration resulted in clear early success:

• ETH staking went live with growing AUM already onboarded
• Komainuʼs product team confirmed a visible uptick in client usage and demand.
• The setup built internal confidence with compliance, tech, and legal stakeholders
• Twinstakeʼs expansion of supported networks is prompting plans to add more chains in Komainuʼs offering

While integration of newer assets still requires bespoke work, the foundation with Twinstake has made this expansion roadmap more predictable and efficient.

Insight: Infrastructure Maturity Accelerates Product Growth

Komainuʼs custody clients needed staking. The internal mandate was clear: deliver utility without compromising on security, control, or compliance.

Twinstake helped make that possible by:

• Listening and adapting to Komainuʼs internal infrastructure requirements.
• Offering proactive support on roadmap planning and API design
• Meeting top-tier due diligence expectations with insurance and audit-readiness
• Enabling BCP features and regulatory compliance out of the box

The collaboration demonstrated how staking becomes viable only when integrated as infrastructure, not as an add-on.

Looking Ahead

Komainuʼs product team sees staking as a core pillar of the custody experience. As client expectations evolve and on-chain participation becomes the norm, partnerships like Twinstake will be key to scaling across networks.The next phase is already underway: more chain integrations, deeper API connectivity, and co-developing solutions that push the staking utility layer even further.
