What is P2P.org?

Staking is a core capital layer for DeFi: it keeps liquidity productive while securing proof-of-stake networks. As more individuals and institutions stake, the operational path—validators, custody choices, APIs, and multi-chain coverage—gets harder to navigate at scale. P2P.org sits in that gap: its staking APIs and non-custodial infrastructure help enterprises, wallets, and exchanges connect clients to direct staking across many chains, including pathways covered in guides such as Solana staking.

Key Takeaways

• P2P.org is non-custodial staking infrastructure that connects wallets, exchanges, DeFi apps, and custodians to multi-chain staking via APIs and dashboards.

• Core products span Ethereum staking, Babylon-based Bitcoin staking (availability depends on Babylon), P2P Hub, Staking API, DVT staking, Staking-as-a-Business, EigenLayer restaking, and data services.

• Coverage extends across 40+ PoS networks, with commonly cited examples including Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Cosmos, and Polygon.

• Institutions often evaluate P2P.org for validator performance, slashing insurance options, white-label or SaaB launches, and restaking/DVT integrations rather than simple single-chain retail stake alone.

What is P2P.org?

P2P.org is a non-custodial staking infrastructure and technology that plays an intermediary role among Web3 wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, and custodians.

P2P.org Products

P2P.org provides a range of staking and infrastructure solutions for both institutional and retail investors, with support for earning staking rewards across different client types. Here’s an overview of their key products:

Ethereum Staking

Staking Ethereum (ETH) through P2P.org allows users to participate in the network’s proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, where staked tokens help strengthen network security and network consensus while earning rewards. Since Ethereum uses proof-of-stake (PoS), users need a minimum of 32 ETH to set up one staking validator. If a user stakes more than 32 ETH in 32 ETH increments, they receive additional validators. P2P.org has been running Ethereum validators since the launch of the Beacon Chain in December 2020 as part of the Lido validator set, and it continues to operate this validator infrastructure while handling server maintenance and setup. The staking process is non-custodial and comes with insurance coverage options. These non-custodial solutions are designed to mitigate staking risks. To set up staking, a user typically needs to:

• Specify the staking amount (1 validator per 32 ETH).

• Specify a withdrawal address where users can withdraw rewards and staked ETH when protocol conditions allow. Note: once set, this address cannot be changed; an email account is also required.

• Check email and confirm. Email is required so that P2P.org can send the URL to the staking page once the validator is set up. After confirmation, validator setup can take 1 to 24 hours.

• Deposit the ETH into the validators by clicking “Send deposits,” while the funds remain tied to the validator setup.

• Connect an Ethereum wallet to set up personal data to manage the account.

• Once the deposit transaction is processed, it can take 16 to 24 hours for the validators to become active.

Bitcoin Staking

P2P.org offers non-custodial Bitcoin (BTC) staking services through the Babylon protocol, enabling BTC holders to stake assets and earn rewards for PoS security without needing third-party custody, bridges, or wrapping. Babylon uses a Bitcoin time-locking mechanism: when a user stakes BTC, assets are locked in a time-lock on the user’s address, which differs from bridging, wrapping, or using third-party custodians. Availability depends on Babylon’s rollout schedule; check P2P.org for current status. This path sits in the same discussion space as the BTC yield structures mapped in Gate Learn’s BTC staking track map.

P2P.org Hub

P2P Hub is a single dashboard and app to manage staking and validators across different protocols and networks via a connected Web3 wallet or API integration. Private users and enterprises can stake digital assets via non-custodial dApps and staking APIs. Users can also access data APIs and monitor rewards, including reward distribution visibility for those managing validators, through staking dashboards. The Hub also acts as an integration center so third-party Web3 companies can connect dApps and API products into P2P.org infrastructure. At the moment, Hub access commonly includes the staking dashboard, ETH staking dApp, data API, and Babylon staking dApp.

Staking API

The staking API helps institutions build staking products in a cost-effective way and automate staking processes. It is already used by wallets and protocols such as SSV Network, Ledger, StakeWise, and Obel Network. The API provides a secure, non-custodial path to initiate staking requests, support validation workflows across supported networks, and access staking data across major blockchains, newer networks, and advanced technologies like DVT and restaking. Related surfaces include:

• Staking Data API: real-time staking data for applications.

• DVT Staking: Distributed Validator Technology for enhanced security.

• Staking-as-a-Business (SaaB): lets exchanges, wallets, and custodians offer staking as a service.

Some key benefits of the staking API include:

• Reliable infrastructure: access to P2P validator infrastructure ranked among top-performing validators for reliability, network security, and blockchain security.

• Dedicated support: developer support through a dedicated channel during integration.

• Customizable configuration: select location, MEV relay, and regulatory entity options, with implementation details varying by network and feature set (some items still in development).

• Slashing insurance: protection plans against slashing events with customizable coverage.

DVT Staking

Distributed Validator Technology reduces the complexity of running a validator through a distributed system of independent nodes. This staking solution enhances Ethereum staking security, decentralization, and performance through collaboration with SSV Network. The introduction of DVT is mainly about improving secure validation through shared operator processes. SSV splits validator keys into multiple encrypted key shares and distributes them across independent operators, who sign validator messages without exposing the full key. Users can integrate the DVT staking API or use the P2P staking dApp by connecting a Web3 wallet and choosing SSV on the P2P application.

• Enhanced fault tolerance: distributing validator duties across multiple nodes helps mitigate slashing and uptime risks for participants.

• Simplified integration: P2P.org provides a DVT Staking API for custodians, exchanges, and wallets.

• Operational efficiency: support for MEV relays and diverse Consensus Layer (CL) and Execution Layer (EL) clients.

• Geographical redundancy: a global node network improves resilience against regional disruptions.

Staking-as-a-Business

Staking-as-a-Business (SaaB) helps businesses launch staking products, including delegated staking offerings, without building all internal operations from scratch. P2P’s offering includes dedicated business, marketing, and customer-care support through integration and launch. The business tool typically offers:

• Access to staking solutions with delegation support across networks and newer staking technologies.

• Dedicated assistance in business development, marketing, and customer care.

• Simple API integration with a single API key and documentation.

• White-label staking nodes for brand customization and control.

• Data products via dashboards or custom builds on P2P.org’s data API.

EigenLayer Restaking

EigenLayer allows users to leverage existing Ethereum stakes to secure additional protocols and applications without posting new collateral, increasing the value of restaking existing ETH for added protocol security. Through P2P.org, users can access EigenLayer restaking for potential additional rewards. P2P.org commonly supports three connection paths:

• Direct restaking: non-custodial ETH staking participation while keeping asset control.

• API restaking: a restaking API that streamlines EigenPod address creation and EigenLayer participation for businesses, which can help teams managing many validators optimize setup efficiency.

• EigenLayer operator: P2P.org has been an early contributor and one of 13 community multisig members securing protocol updates, which can matter for early access to ecosystem opportunities.

Teams interested in this feature should refer to P2P.org or EigenLayer documentation for proceeding steps and implementation details.
