Before: Background & Client Demand

Zodia Custody is a digital asset custodian with bank-grade security and institutional controls designed to protect client assets without compromising on risk, compliance, or operational integrity.

Zodia Custody’s institutional clients were increasingly seeking to activate staking on core assets. The goal was to maximize returns through staking while maintaining full alignment with regulatory frameworks, treasury policies, and internal governance structures. Clients required the same level of operational transparency as the custody platform itself.

After: Twinstake Integration Delivered Confidence and Control

Twinstake was selected as a staking partner after a comparative assessment focused on security posture, operational discipline, and the ability to meet institutional standards set by banks, asset managers, and institutional treasuries.

Zodia’s integration with Twinstake was shaped by deep collaboration across product, engineering, and risk. The operating model emphasized security isolation, controlled workflows, and auditability, with a partnership mindset grounded in sustainable, risk-conscious growth, not short-term wins.

Outcome: Staking Without Compromising Custody

By partnering with Twinstake, Zodia Custody now offers staking to institutional clients in a way that upholds core principles of custody, compliance, and control. Clients benefit from:

  • Secure staking options built into their existing custody workflows.
  • Institutional-grade governance around delegation and validator selection.
  • A transparent operational model backed by a trusted staking provider.

Together, Zodia and Twinstake are making staking not just accessible but bankable - paving the way for broader institutional adoption.

Insight: Internal Considerations That Shaped the Build

As a regulated custodian registered with the FCA and operating to bank-grade standards, Zodia’s approach to staking was shaped by rigorous internal considerations, including risk responsibility, reputation risk, and regulatory expectations.

Looking Ahead

Twinstake’s collaboration with Zodia Custody exemplifies what is required to deliver staking to institutional clients while maintaining the standard for safe, scalable, and compliant staking infrastructure.
