Figment Integration

Staking is a core part of blockchain networks, allowing token holders to earn rewards while securing the system. But it comes with challenges, managing keys, ensuring cross-chain compatibility, and maintaining smooth transaction workflows.

We’re excited to announce that Dfns now supports Figment, a global leader among staking providers. This integration starts with staking on Ethereum and Babylon, the new blockchain enabling Bitcoin staking for developers and financial institutions in a secure and accessible way.

In this post, we’ll explain why this integration matters, what Figment and Dfns bring to the table, and how they make multichain staking simpler and more secure.

BTC staking at last possible on Babylon 

Babylon introduces a new way to stake by combining Bitcoin's security with proof-of-stake networks. Designed for Bitcoin staking, it lets token holders use Bitcoin’s strong security to stake assets and earn rewards. Key benefits include:

• Bitcoin-Level Security: Proof-of-stake networks benefit from Bitcoin’s security through a unique finality checkpoint system.
• Simple Staking: Users can stake BTC directly without complex setups.
• Broader Ecosystem: Babylon connects Bitcoin to proof-of-stake networks, expanding its role in staking.

Figment pioneered Staking-as-a-Service

Figment is a top staking provider that helps token holders securely participate in blockchain networks and earn rewards. It supports over 50 proof-of-stake networks, offering a reliable and easy-to-use platform for individuals and institutions. What makes Figment stand out:

• Wide blockchain support enables companies to stake assets across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, Cosmos and 40+ other chains.
• Developer tools with APIs, SDKs, and resources to integrate staking into applications.
• Institutional-grade security, aka bank-level security and compliance for staking services.
• Educational resources, including guides and strategies to help users succeed in staking.

And Dfns invented Wallets-as-a-Service

Dfns is a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform that helps institutions, fintechs, and enterprises securely manage digital assets at scale. Our API-first design makes it easy to configure, automate, and optimize digital asset workflows, earning the trust of industry leaders.

With our latest update, we now support staking in our APIs, allowing automated workflows for pools and protocols on Ethereum and Bitcoin. Over the next few months, we’ll expand to more blockchains with Figment. This integration strengthens Dfns' capabilities and moves us closer to our vision of becoming an operating system for blockchains. With unified wallet interfaces, fintechs, financial institutions, and businesses can access staking through Figment seamlessly, without switching between apps or stepping outside their security perimeter. Dfns enhances multichain staking by offering:

• Secure onboarding for different users (retail, traders, banks, etc.) with strong authentication.
• Flexible permissions that let organizations customize wallet and account access based on assets, policies, and user roles.
• Multiple wallet interfaces via UI dashboards, APIs, SDKs, embedded iframes, etc.
• Transaction lifecycle management across different blockchains, including non-EVM networks, with a unified API for automation, cost tracking, fraud prevention, and compliance (KYC/KYT).
• Composable key management that supports various key generation, signing methods, and storage environments, ensuring security and compliance.
• Comprehensive security with encryption, API attestation, data integrity safeguards, audit trails, recovery options, real-time alerts, and proactive threat detection.
