Overview
Blockdaemon is a leading institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure provider, securing over $110 billion in digital assets for more than 400 institutions, including exchanges, custodians, and financial enterprises. The company provides a secure and scalable gateway to web3, offering a comprehensive suite of services that includes high-performance nodes, APIs, staking, and MPC wallets.
As part of its mission to bridge institutional capital with decentralized finance, Blockdaemon has integrated Aave as a core component of its Earn Stack, a secure, compliant platform providing institutions with streamlined access to DeFi yield opportunities. Through this strategic partnership, Blockdaemon leverages Aave's deep liquidity and robust infrastructure to offer its institutional clients access to onchain lending and borrowing markets.
“With this strategic partnership, institutions can now gain direct access to Aave’s DeFi markets through Blockdaemon’s market-leading infrastructure, opening new avenues for growth across top crypto assets and stablecoins. Having Aave’s long track record of trusted operations and proven risk controls makes this a natural fit for institutions seeking the best risk-adjusted rewards onchain. This collaboration underscores how safety and proven performance remain the foundation for bringing more institutions onchain,” said Konstantin Richter, Founder and CEO of Blockdaemon.
Institutional Access to DeFi
Why Aave?
Blockdaemon selected Aave as the exclusive preferred provider due to Aave's established leadership in the DeFi space. Aave's protocol offers deep, reliable liquidity, which is essential for supporting institutional-scale transactions. Furthermore, Aave's robust risk management framework and transparent, open-source nature align with the security and compliance requirements of Blockdaemon's institutional clientele. Aave’s extensive track record of security and operational excellence provides the necessary assurance for institutions seeking to engage with DeFi.
How It Works
Blockdaemon’s DeFi API integrates Aave markets directly into a single, unified interface. Developers can access lending, borrowing, and rate data, monitor positions, and execute transactions programmatically across supported Aave deployments.
Through the Blockdaemon DeFi Widget, a key component of the Earn Stack, institutions can seamlessly deploy capital from staking rewards or idle balances into Aave lending pools. The experience is designed to be frictionless, removing the complexities typically associated with DeFi access.
Institutions can put their assets to work and earn competitive, risk-adjusted rewards without needing to manage additional smart contract risk or intermediaries. The entire experience is non-custodial, ensuring that clients retain full control over their assets at all times.
Custody & Operations
Blockdaemon's infrastructure is designed to meet the highest standards of security and compliance. The company's ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II compliance provide assurance that its systems and processes are secure and reliable. The non-custodial nature of the integration ensures that institutions retain full control over their assets, while Blockdaemon's infrastructure provides the secure and reliable connectivity needed to interact with the Aave Protocol.
