Fortary enables institutions to earn yield on their digital assets through native staking — without leaving the platform’s security perimeter. Staking is fully integrated into Fortary’s approval workflows, policy engine, and multi-party computation (MPC) infrastructure, so your assets remain under your organization’s control at all times.
Supported Staking Protocols
| Protocol | Network | Status | Description |
|---|
| Validation | Avalanche P-Chain | Live | Run or stake to validator nodes to earn rewards while securing the network |
| Delegation | Avalanche P-Chain | Coming Soon | Delegate AVAX to an existing validator without operating infrastructure |
| ETH Staking | Ethereum | Coming Soon | Delegate ETH to participate in Ethereum’s proof-of-stake consensus |
How Staking Works in Fortary
Staking follows the same structured workflow as any other transaction in Fortary:
- An Initiator creates a staking transaction — selecting the vault, staking protocol, amount, duration, and node configuration.
- The policy engine evaluates the request — applying your organization’s approval thresholds, spending limits, and any staking-specific rules.
- Approvers review and authorize — using Ledger hardware or the Fortary mobile signing app, depending on your setup.
- An Issuer submits the signed transaction to the blockchain.
This means every staking operation benefits from the same M-of-N approval controls, audit trail, and risk assessment that protect your transfers.
Node Management
Fortary supports both internal and external validator nodes:
- Internal nodes — Validator infrastructure operated by your organization. You manage the node and configure it within Fortary.
- External node providers — Third-party infrastructure partners that operate validator nodes on your behalf. Fortary is partnering with leading node providers including Luganodes to offer institutional-grade validator infrastructure without the operational burden.
All validator nodes — internal or external — must be whitelisted through your organization’s policy controls before they can be used in staking transactions.
External node provider support is actively expanding. Contact your Fortary account team to learn about available providers and onboarding.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|
| Reward Owners | Configurable addresses that receive staking rewards at the end of the staking period |
| Staking Schedule | A view of all active and upcoming staking positions, including maturity dates and estimated rewards |
| Time-Lock | Staked assets are locked for the full duration of the staking period and cannot be withdrawn early |
| Cross-Chain Transfers | For Avalanche staking, assets must reside on the P-Chain. Fortary supports C-Chain to P-Chain transfers within the platform |
