Under the collaboration, Aave Vaults will serve as the exclusive preferred provider within the Blockdaemon DeFi Widget, a core pillar of Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack.
This integration provides institutions with direct access to Aave’s onchain capital markets, the deepest markets in DeFi and built for institutional scale, unlocking $75B in liquidity through Aave Vaults and offering the best risk-adjusted opportunities.
Konstantin Richter, Founder and CEO of Blockdaemon, said:
“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.”
The CEO would further state:
“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.”
Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs, said:
“This partnership shows how institutional and decentralized finance are converging. By uniting Aave’s trusted liquidity infrastructure with Blockdaemon’s enterprise-grade staking and node services, we’re giving institutions a secure, reliable, and scalable way to access DeFi markets, with minimized risk and the best risk-adjusted rewards.”
This integration allows Blockdaemon customers to put staking rewards and idle balances to work in Aave’s DeFi markets directly through Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack, while maintaining full control of their assets. Customers can now access safe, reliable crypto and stablecoin rewards across Aave pools without additional smart contract risk or intermediaries.
Aave Vaults are self-custodial by design, ensuring users retain control of their assets. While Aave Labs stewards the innovation and development of Aave Vault infrastructure, Blockdaemon delivers institutional-grade node and staking infrastructure, creating a seamless bridge between institutional capital and decentralized liquidity.
As strategic partners, Blockdaemon and Aave will continue to collaborate on new initiatives to drive innovation and growth for institutional DeFi. Both companies view this alliance as a key step in safely bringing more institutional capital onchain.
Blockdaemon is the institutional gateway to Web3, securing over $110B in digital assets for 400+ institutions, including exchanges, custodians, crypto platforms, and financial enterprises.
The company offers institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure spanning nodes, APIs, staking, MPC wallets and vaults. Since 2017, Blockdaemon’s globally distributed infrastructure ensures unrivaled security, compliance, and scalability.
