About Stakely
Stakely is a non-custodial blockchain infrastructure provider that has been operating validator nodes since 2020. Its core business covers three areas: a Staking API that lets businesses integrate staking into their products via a single implementation; white-label validator services where Stakely runs infrastructure under a client's brand; and stVaults-based products built on Lido V3, including a public vault that combines ETH staking with EarnETH yield, plus dedicated institutional vaults with customizable parameters.
The main market pain point Stakely addresses is the trade-off in ETH staking: direct staking offers operator control but leaves capital illiquid due to exit queues, while traditional liquid staking provides liquidity but removes operator choice. Stakely's stVaults resolve this by allowing participants to earn stETH liquidity while retaining validator selection and on-chain attribution. The infrastructure is non-custodial, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, with an uptime SLA above 99.9% and slashing insurance coverage.
In the six months from March to September 2026, Stakely launched two stVaults-based products: a public staking vault open to anyone, pairing ETH staking with EarnETH through Lido's DeFi Wrapper, and dedicated institutional vaults tailored to asset managers, treasuries, and ETF issuers. The company also expanded its Staking API to support multiple networks including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Celestia, and Monad. No significant negative events were reported during this period.
Major progress in the past six months: In March 2026, Stakely joined the Canopy validator set during its Betanet phase, launched gVault on Magma for Monad liquid staking, introduced The Vault on Solana for vSOL, and added CC to the Multicoin Faucet on Canton Network devnet. In June, it released the open-source Timelock UI, integrated Speedstake for early Solana reward claims, and joined GenLayer's new validator batch. In July, it launched the Staking Widget (non-custodial, customizable, plug-and-play) and joined Alpen as an external operator for Testnet III, validating BTC deposit/withdrawal flows.
Future focus: Stakely states it will continue leveraging its multi-network validator and infrastructure experience to expand non-custodial staking solutions and participate in early-stage networks where operational rigor secures value.
