Figment empowers financial institutions to earn rewards through staking. As the institutional adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate, Figment is partnered with Fireblocks to streamline staking infrastructure for its customers, through a secure custody platform, flexible integration, and scalable support across 20+ Proof-of-Stake blockchains. This collaboration has enabled Figment to serve a broader range of institutional clients, shorten time to deployment, and scale with growing market demand.
The Challenge: Bringing Staking into the Mainstream
As staking has evolved beyond crypto-native exchanges and asset managers, Figment focuses on building the secure, reliable infrastructure needed for institutions to participate confidently. By solving challenges around custody and complex integrations, Figment is the leading choice for traditional financial institutions entering staking. Colton Campbell, Head of Sales Engineering at Figment shared his experience on how he sees these financial institutions entering the digital asset world: “These companies usually start with crypto custody first and six months later, they add staking as a natural next step.”
Figment is a non-custodial staking provider, meaning Figment never takes custody of the client’s assets. Instead, it provides the infrastructure that enables secure and reliable staking.
Seamless, Secure Staking via Fireblocks
Figment is partnered with Fireblocks to deliver non-custodial staking directly from customers’ existing Fireblocks environments. This approach allows institutions to maintain custody of their assets while selecting Figment as their staking provider to earn institutional-grade rewards. Fireblocks’ flexible and secure MPC key management technology made integration simple and customizable.This flexibility ensures institutions can adopt staking at their own pace, using workflows suited to their internal systems and compliance requirements.
“Fireblocks meets customers where they are. You can stake via the UI or automate everything with APIs.”

Accelerating Onboarding and Expanding Market Reach
By integrating with Fireblocks, Figment significantly reduces the technical lift and time-to-market for institutional staking offerings. Fireblocks clients can activate staking in minutes instead of months, with the confidence of Fireblocks’ enterprise-grade custody and Figment’s leading security. Through this partnership, clients can stake securely and flexibly using several streamlined paths:
- Native Fireblocks UI: Stake directly within the Fireblocks platform within minutes.
- Fireblocks Wallet + Figment App: Connect instantly through the Fireblocks browser extension to stake via Figment’s application.
- Figment or Fireblocks API: Integrate staking programmatically within 3–7 days, depending on client implementation.
- Raw Transaction Signing: Available when custom transaction control is required (3–7 days with manual support).
This relationship has positioned Figment to serve the wave of traditional institutions entering the digital asset world over the past year, driven by new regulatory clarity and market education. Figment’s sales engineering team, supported by Fireblocks’ infrastructure, empowers banks, asset managers, and exchanges to translate complex staking concepts into practical, compliant implementations. “We’re finally seeing years of sales cycles come to fruition. Large institutions can now safely participate in staking, and that’s incredibly exciting,” Campbell said.
Scaling together to support the next era of digital assets
Looking ahead, Figment and Fireblocks are expanding their collaboration to support more assets, deeper integrations, and broader institutional adoption. Fireblocks’ Trust Company and custody offerings further strengthen the foundation for compliant institutional staking. “The launch of the Fireblocks Trust Company meets institutions exactly where they are, offering a secure, compliant way to custody and stake assets,” Campbell shared.
Figment sees security, education and standardization — and delivering performant, compliant rewards — as keys to unlocking the next wave of growth. Together, Fireblocks and Figment deliver a joint offering that strengthens security, simplifies staking in custody, and elevates the market offering so institutions can serve clients better
“Fireblocks is vital to our business because they understand our customers and meet their needs technically, operationally, and strategically.”
