What is the Institutional Staking Marketplace?
The institutional staking marketplace simplifies access to top-tier staking providers, with standardized terms and conditions, institutional-grade reporting, and reduced complexity.
By boosting Ethereum’s security and bringing more organizations into Web3, the new marketplace will help Ethereum become the blockchain of choice for institutional investors.
The MetaMask Institutional platform also offers a range of cutting-edge tools, including institutional controls, portfolio management, digital asset monitoring, and transaction reporting, all in one place. It allows for digital asset monitoring, including profit & loss and performance attribution for all ERC-20 tokens and the ten most prominent DeFi protocols.
Additionally, the platform's advanced transaction classification and reporting features provide detailed information on holdings and transactions.
How Has the Merge Affected Staking?
With the Ethereum Merge last year, Ethereum transitioned from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, reducing its carbon footprint by 99.95%.
Since the Merge, the total amount of staked ETH has grown by 4 million, reaching a current total of approximately 17.7 million. The upcoming Shanghai/Shapella Upgrade will enable withdrawals of staked ETH, offering greater asset flexibility and control.
With the launch of the institutional staking marketplace, institutional adoption is expected to further surge.

Blockdaemon is delighted to partner with ConsenSys and participate in the institutional staking marketplace launch.
As the demand for institutional staking grows, the new platform is expected to offer greater asset flexibility and control, making it easier for institutions to participate in securing the Ethereum network.
In the words of Blockdaemon Founder and CEO Konstantin Richter, "We are committed to securely connecting institutions to crypto and DeFi with ever-increasing ease and simplicity. Metamask's new Institutional Marketplace is an excellent way to experience how automated protocol solutions can incentivize institutions to participate in securing the Ethereum network. We couldn’t be prouder to be one of the partners to bring Metamask’s Institutional Marketplace to life."
What Does the Institutional Staking Marketplace Mean for You?
With the new marketplace, you can choose from a range of staking providers, each offering different benefits. These benefits can range from differences in infrastructure (multi-cloud, multi-region, and multi-client) to certifications (SOC2 Type 2 and ISO 27001). The institutional staking marketplace will simplify your selection process, making it easier for you to choose the right vendor for your needs.
In addition to simplifying institutional staking, MetaMask Institutional is introducing a more powerful Web3 Portfolio Dashboard, offering a range of tools that will enable you to better manage how they interact with web3. The platform allows you to swap across different EVM chains and tracking.
