Stakin by The Tie has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, following a 90-day observation period covering its non-custodial staking service.
The audit provides independent assurance that Stakin by The Tie's security controls are appropriately designed and operate effectively over time. Together with the recently renewed ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, it places Stakin by The Tie's validator operations under two of the most widely recognised security frameworks in institutional finance.
Why SOC 2 matters to institutions
Institutions that stake digital assets are placing trust in the infrastructure provider that runs their validators. Uptime, key security and operational discipline all have a direct bearing on the safety of client assets and the rewards they earn. For asset managers, custodians, exchanges and ETP issuers, that responsibility extends to their own clients, boards and regulators.
This is why SOC 2 has become a baseline requirement in institutional due diligence. It is the standard that risk, compliance and procurement teams already apply to the critical vendors they rely on, and it offers them what matters most in selecting a staking partner:
- Security: independent verification that client assets and data are protected by rigorous, tested controls.
- Reliability: evidence that those controls hold up consistently across live operations, not only on paper.
- Accountability: a third-party assessment institutions can present to their own stakeholders and regulators.
- Confidence: a shorter, clearer path through vendor review, so institutions can begin staking sooner.
Stakin by The Tie's service is non-custodial by design, so clients retain control of their assets at all times. Our Trust Center provides ongoing visibility into the controls behind it.
Built to institutional standards
Stakin by The Tie has operated Proof-of-Stake infrastructure for more than 8 years, with more than $1B in assets under delegation across 30+ networks. Security has been the foundation of that work from the start. Completing SOC 2 Type II holds Stakin by The Tie to the same standards institutions expect of their most trusted partners, and puts independent assurance behind that track record.
