everstake
Everstake is a non-custodial staking provider founded in 2018 by Ukrainian engineers and now headquartered in Grand Cayman. It runs validators on dozens of proof-of-stake networks, says it secures more than $7 billion of stake for over a million delegators, and powers staking inside wallets and exchanges such as Trezor, Exodus and Crypto.com.
Our read
Everstake is the validator many retail stakers use without knowing it, because their wallet routes to it. Delegation is non-custodial, so the realistic risk is slashing or downtime rather than theft. Unlike Figment and Kiln, it publishes no slashing-cover product, so any penalty falls on delegators. Its public disclosure is mostly marketing figures that don't always agree with each other.
Key facts
Everstake: who runs it and where
Everstake was started in 2018 by Sergii Vasylchuk, a blockchain engineer who is still CEO, with a largely Ukrainian team. The site now lists its headquarters in Grand Cayman, and Wikidata records the Cayman address alongside Ukraine as country of origin. It has about 100 employees, three-quarters of them engineers. On 25 August 2026 the company moved from everstake.one to everstake.com; old links redirect.
It sells two things. Retail users delegate to Everstake's public validators, usually from inside a wallet. Institutions buy validator-as-a-service, white-label validators and Solana infrastructure extras (ShredStream, SWQoS). Institutional pages are split by buyer (asset managers, custodians, exchanges, tokenisation platforms), and much of the 2026 blog is about staking inside ETFs: liquidity sleeves, concentration risk and exit queues. The company's own numbers differ between pages: $7B+ secured, 1M+ or 1.6M+ delegators, and 80+ or 130+ networks.
Is Everstake safe?
For principal, yes in the structural sense: staking with Everstake is delegation. Your coins stay in your wallet or protocol account, and Everstake gets only the right to validate with them. It cannot withdraw them. We found no hack or loss of delegator funds on record.
- Slashing: a double-sign or, on some chains, long downtime costs delegators part of their stake. Everstake's site shows no slashing-cover product, unlike Figment and Kiln.
- Uptime: it reports 99.98% observed infrastructure uptime; missed blocks reduce rewards, not principal.
- Controls: it lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, GDPR and CCPA compliance on its institutional pages.
- Phishing: fake staking sites copy validator brands; the real dashboard is stake.everstake.com.
Everstake networks and wallet partners
Everstake runs validators on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Aptos, Cardano and a long tail of other chains; the about page claims 130+ networks. Its dashboard in September 2026 quoted ETH at 3.4 to 10% APR, SOL at 4.93%, APT at 2.60% and POL at 2.58%. Those are indicative rates that move with each network, not fixed returns.
Most delegators reach it through partners. Trezor Suite, Exodus, Crypto.com and the Turkish exchange Paribu are named on its site. If you stake from a wallet that routes to Everstake, the validator commission is set by Everstake, not the wallet.
Everstake, FTX and Aid for Ukraine
In March 2022 Everstake, FTX and the Ukrainian exchange Kuna helped Ukraine's government launch Aid for Ukraine, a crypto donation site. By 14 March 2022 it had raised over $48 million toward a $200 million goal. FTX's collapse eight months later is why the pairing still turns up in searches. Everstake was one of the three crypto partners named at launch, alongside FTX and Kuna.
