Validation Cloud - Institutional Staking-as-a-Service
About this episode
Andrew McFarlane is CTO at Validation Cloud an Institutional Staking-as-a-Service provider and Web3 infrastructure platform.
Why you should listen
Web3 infrastructure platform Validation Cloud has launched a staking-as-a-service platform for institutions. The platform enables institutions to deploy validators in bulk and earn rewards through smart contract automation. Institutions can stake on-demand and the platform is non-custodial. Validation Cloud has designed its platform to ensure that it is SOC2 compliant, a voluntary compliance standard defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The framework is designed to uphold high data security standards for companies, ensuring that customer information adheres to five principles: security, privacy, confidentiality, processing integrity and availability.
The target market includes institutions in the staking space such as asset managers and custodians. Andrew explains that Validation Cloud provides security, scalability, and operational expertise to these institutions, allowing them to participate in staking without building their own team or infrastructure.
