Why Staking?
“It can be argued that staking is the closest thing we can get to a blockchain network’s “risk-free rate”. In traditional economic systems, the risk-free rate is represented by the rate of return for a government’s bonds.”
“Depending on the number of active stakers on the network as well as the level of network activity, yields could range from 5-7% in 2023, setting a sort of “risk-free rate” for Ethereum’s financial system.”
As the crypto economy matures, it will increasingly attract long-term investors who are seeking this native yield mechanism for their PoS assets.

Foundations and Associations
Foundations and DAOs want to grow their treasury money safely to fund more projects, but finding a simple, low-risk way to do this is hard.
Brick Towers helps Foundations and DAOs safely grow their money through staking, so they can focus on their main work.
Banks and Asset Allocators
Banks and asset allocators aim for profitable asset management but have concerns with staking complexity, security, compliance, and regulatory requirements.
Brick Towers streamlines staking, secures assets, reports rewards, and mitigates regulatory issues, aiding institutions in diversifying their investments with confidence.
Custody Service Providers
Custody Service Providers safeguard digital assets in a non-custodial manner and need to provide an easy way for their users to make their assets productive
Brick Towers offers an SDK to integrate staking services natively which allows the custody service provider to broaden their service range and make their customers happy
Web3 Wallets
Offering native staking, especially for Ethereum’s 32 ETH batches, presents a financial barrier to user and excludes them from receiving risk minimized staking rewards.
Brick Towers‘ API enables pooled staking and withdrawals in wallets based on smart contracts, breaking these barriers and promoting user retention through a new passive income stream.

Incorporated in 2017 and based in Zug (Switzerland), Pillar Project Foundation is the corporate entity that coordinates the creation of the Pillar wallet and champions its adoption.
The large majority of the Foundation treasury is kept in Ether and serves for future investments. Working with Brick Towers, the Foundation earns rewards on otherwise idle Ether, increasing the impact it can achieve in the future.
“Partnering with Brick Towers allowed us to make our Foundation Treasury productive, a move that aligns perfectly with our Pillar ethos of safeguarding and contributing to the growth of decentralized networks. Brick Towers’ Staking-as-a-service offering not only enabled us to secure the network, but also to earn attractive rewards in doing so!”

Please be aware that the rewards rates for staking are not centrally controlled by a specific party but governed by the rules of the relevant open-source code of the specific Proof-of-Stake blockchain protocol one is staking with. While the rewards rate in general is pre-determined through active participation of validators, rewards are only guaranteed if they adhere to the protocol’s rules by properly proposing new blocks and, in some cases, attesting to the work of other validators on the network.
It is crucial to fully comprehend the risks associated with staking before engaging in any staking activities. Some can be managed by Brick Towers, some are inherent in the underlying blockchain protocol and lastly some that lie with the institution staking with Brick Towers.
Slashing as penalty occurs if validators violate the rules of the blockchain protocol, whether intentional or accidental, by e.g. double-signing or being offline for any period of time and therefore not available to fulfill its duty to take part in the consensus process for the network. Such behaviour results in penalties that may lead to the loss of a portion of the staked principal. However, at Brick Towers we design our platform to minimize slashing penalties and upon request can provide insurance for slashing to cover this risk.
Further, the process of staking to participate in the decentralization and security of the underlying network which is compensated by rewards, and the withdrawal of staked assets takes variable amounts of time, depending on how many others are exiting or by specific rules governing the exiting and withdrawal process within the blockchain protocol. During such time, the assets are not liquid, i.e. they cannot be exchanged for another digital asset or fiat currency.
Finally, Brick Towers is non-custodial and does not control staked assets when providing its services. Custody and control of the assets remain with its clients. If the keys to the staked assets are lost, Brick Towers cannot recover them. However, we will provide best advise and work with other ecosystem partners to mitigate such a situation.
