Validator infrastructure & operations
[01]Overview

RockX partnered with Matrixport's Cactus Custody, a secure and compliant institutional custody platform, to make native ETH staking accessible to institutional clients. They earn Ethereum staking rewards from within their existing custody setup, while RockX runs the validator infrastructure and operations behind the scenes.

[02]The Challenge

High barriers to
institutional ETH staking.

/ 01

Technical overhead

Validators need specialized infrastructure and constant uptime. Poor setup costs rewards.

/ 02

Custody & governance alignment

Staking has to fit existing custody, governance, and compliance.

/ 03

Operational & slashing risk

Downtime or misconfiguration creates financial loss and slashing exposure.

[03]The Solution

Integrated,
custody-first staking.

RockX integrated native ETH staking into the Cactus Custody platform and runs the validators behind the scenes.

/ 01

Streamlined access

Stake through a custody-first workflow, with no validators to run in-house.

/ 02

Institutional-grade operations

RockX handles validator deployment, monitoring, and management.

/ 03

Custody alignment

Earn staking rewards while keeping existing custody and controls.

/ 04

Operational transparency

Clear visibility into validator performance and rewards.

[04]The Outcome

A scalable model for
institutional ETH staking.

By pairing RockX-managed validators with Cactus Custody's institutional environment, the collaboration lowered the barrier to entry and created a repeatable path for institutions adding ETH staking to long-term strategies.
