Pier Two

Pier Two is a blockchain infrastructure company established in 2018 and based in Brisbane, Australia. The company specializes in providing institutional-grade, non-custodial staking services and secure node and validation infrastructure, primarily for the Ethereum network. This allows institutional clients, businesses, and individuals to earn yield on their digital assets by participating in securing proof-of-stake blockchains without managing the underlying hardware and software.

The company operates on a non-custodial model, emphasized by its motto "Your Keys, Your ETH, Always," which ensures that clients retain control over their assets at all times. Pier Two's business model revolves around providing this staking infrastructure as a service. Clients can access these services through various methods, including direct delegation to a Pier Two validator, API integration for platforms and exchanges, a dedicated web application called 'Control Centre' for management and monitoring, or through integrated digital asset custodians like Fireblocks, BitGo, and Zodia Custody. The company serves institutional investors and businesses looking for reliable and secure ways to generate returns on their crypto holdings.

Since its founding, Pier Two has achieved significant operational scale, supporting over 1,000 data feeds across 12 blockchains and facilitating more than 35 million transactions. The firm has also received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. It holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type I certifications, demonstrating a commitment to high security and operational standards.
