Stakewithus

Stakewithus operates as a secure yield solutions provider for crypto asset investors, focusing on the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) market. The company was founded in early 2019 by Mervyn Chng (CEO), Michael Ng (COO), and Oliver Wee (CTO). The founding team combines deep expertise in finance, trading, software development, and blockchain technology. Chng has a background in equities and futures trading and previously managed a company with a significant turnover in the Oil & Gas sector. Ng was involved in an investment advisory firm for blockchain projects and worked as an analyst at a major Nordic bank, specializing in institutional debt markets. Wee's experience includes an internship at JPMorgan Chase and a role as Lead Software Engineer for a crypto trading arm.

The company's business model centers on providing non-custodial staking and decentralized finance (DeFi) services. This means that clients retain full control over their private keys, and Stakewithus does not take custody of their funds. Revenue is generated through service fees on staking income. Stakewithus caters to a diverse client base, from retail crypto holders to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, offering them the ability to earn rewards by participating in the consensus mechanisms of various blockchain networks. A significant milestone for the company was its acquisition by the on-chain analytics firm Nansen in September 2024, a move intended to integrate staking services directly into Nansen's platform.

Stakewithus provides a suite of products and services designed to simplify the process of earning yield on crypto assets. The core offering is its secure staking infrastructure, which supports over 20 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Sui. The company utilizes a robust infrastructure with validation nodes housed in Tier 3 data centers and a 24/7 monitoring system to ensure high uptime and security. For users, the company developed two main platforms: a dedicated, non-custodial ETH Staking App for individuals with 32 ETH or more, and the Unagii App, a multi-chain platform for accessing both staking and DeFi yield opportunities. For institutional clients, Stakewithus provides white-label services, allowing them to run their own validators managed by the company, thereby reducing operational overhead.
