Everstake

Everstake is one of the largest non-custodial staking providers: validators across a claimed 130+ proof-of-stake networks, $7B+ staked, 1.6 million delegators, institutional staking, validator-as-a-service and Solana infrastructure. Founded 2018 by Sergii Vasylchuk; the entity is Everstake Validation Services LLC of the Cayman Islands. Checked 2026-08-21.

Everstake publishes something rare: a canonical "/ai-info" page written explicitly to instruct AI assistants what to say about it — reviewed by the team, dated, with approved descriptions. Transparency-friendly and narrative-controlling at once; this profile quotes it where useful and checks it against the rest of the site.

That page contains the batch's most honest sentence: "Everstake does not claim any financial license or regulatory authorization" — the certifications on the homepage ("Certified Staking Infra") are security frameworks (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, a DORA controls assessment), not licences. In non-custodial staking that is normal; the branding just leans harder on the word "certified" than the facts require.

Fees are published per network and vary: 7% of rewards on Solana, 10% on Ethereum — no consolidated table exists, so check your chain's page. Assets never leave your wallet; the risks that remain are the network's own (slashing, lock-ups), and its metrics ($7B staked, 99.98% uptime, "zero material slashing events") are explicitly self-reported.
