DeFi & Staking
Beyond simple transfers, the platform supports native staking and DeFi operations across supported blockchains. Every operation — regardless of the chain or protocol — goes through the same unified approval flow: create, approve via quorum, sign via MPC, broadcast.
The same governance controls that protect withdrawals protect every DeFi and staking operation — no special workflows, no bypasses.
Native Staking
Delegate, undelegate, and claim rewards on blockchains with built-in staking mechanisms — all from within the platform.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Delegate | Stake tokens with a validator to earn rewards |
| Undelegate | Unstake tokens (subject to network unbonding period) |
| Claim rewards | Collect accumulated staking rewards |
| Redelegate | Move stake between validators without unbonding |
Supported Staking Networks
| Network | Native Asset | Unbonding Period |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmos Hub | ATOM | 21 days |
| Polkadot | DOT | 28 days |
| Solana | SOL | ~2 days |
| Cardano | ADA | 2 epochs |
| Celestia | TIA | 21 days |
| Sui | SUI | 1 epoch |
TRON Resource Management
TRON uses a unique staking model where freezing TRX acquires bandwidth or energy for transaction fees:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Freeze TRX | Lock TRX to acquire bandwidth or energy |
| Unfreeze TRX | Unlock TRX (14-day waiting period) |
| Delegate resources | Lend bandwidth/energy to another address |
| Undelegate | Reclaim previously delegated resources |
DeFi Operations
Interact with DeFi protocols on EVM chains and other smart contract platforms — swaps, liquidity, lending, and more.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Token swaps | Trade tokens via DEX protocols |
| Liquidity provision | Add or remove liquidity from AMM pools |
| Yield farming | Deposit into yield-generating protocols |
| Lending / borrowing | Interact with lending protocols |
ERC-20 Token Allowances
Before interacting with DeFi protocols on EVM chains, token allowances must be set — authorizing a smart contract to spend tokens on your behalf:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Approve allowance | Authorize a contract to spend up to N tokens |
| Transfer From | Pull tokens using a previously set allowance |
| Check allowance | View the current approved amount |
Trustlines
Networks like Stellar and Ripple require explicit opt-in before receiving non-native tokens:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Create trustline | Opt-in to receive a specific token |
| Check trustlines | View active trustlines for an address |
Governance & Approval
All staking and DeFi operations follow the vault's quorum policy — the same approvers who review withdrawals review every DeFi interaction. A rogue operator cannot execute a swap or delegation without the required approvals.
Recommended Vault Design
Use dedicated vaults for DeFi and staking — separate from treasury and customer funds — with approval policies tailored to the risk profile of each strategy.
| Vault | Purpose | Approval Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury | Corporate reserves | High quorum (3-of-5) |
| Operations / Hot | Daily withdrawals | Medium quorum (2-of-3) |
| DeFi / Staking | Strategy-specific operations | Strategy team approval |
| Customer Deposits | Segregated customer funds | Strict approval |
