StakeXDC is more than a retail staking app, it is staking infrastructure for the XDC Network, designed to serve exchanges, custodians, and institutional partners at scale.
Built in collaboration with Nethermind and the XDC Core team, StakeXDC provides production-grade liquid staking infrastructure with no principal-stake slashing, audited smart contracts, and non-custodial architecture.
What We Offer
StakeXDC provides turnkey XDC staking infrastructure that exchanges and institutions can integrate or white-label. Our stack handles:
- Validator operations - masternode management, uptime, performance monitoring, on-chain delegation
- Liquid staking contracts - the non-upgradeable, ERC-4626
PrimeStakedXDC_V3_1vault for minting and redeeming psXDC shares - NAV-based reward accrual - reward XDC flows back into the vault, share price rises automatically; no manual reward distribution path
- Self-service withdrawals - instant when the buffer permits, otherwise a permissionless FIFO queue with

Why StakeXDC
| Advantage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Non-custodial | Users retain full ownership of assets at all times |
| Audited by QuillAudits | XDC Staking Contract, 98.8%. Published |
| Audited by Nethermind | Security audit of custody contracts conducted by Nethermind Security, trusted auditing partner for Lido, EtherFi, Optimism, and Worldcoin |
| No principal-stake slashing | XDC's slashing penalizes downtime via temporary exclusion (~2h) and missed rewards; staked capital is never burned - unlike ETH liquid staking |
| Permissionless custody | Smart contract-based validator key management - no human custody |
| Battle-tested | Live since 2024, grown to $6M+ TVL |
| XDC-native | Purpose-built for the XDC Network ecosystem |
Why XDC Network
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Consensus | XDPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) with masternode validators |
| No stake-burning slashing | XDC slashing excludes underperforming masternodes from block production for ~2h and forfeits their rewards, but never burns principal, so stakers face no risk of capital loss from validator behavior |
| Fast finality | 2-second target block time (real-world average ~2.33s) with near-instant transaction confirmation |
| Low fees | Negligible gas costs compared to Ethereum and most L2s |
| Enterprise adoption | XDC Network is used for trade finance, tokenized assets, and institutional applications |
For partners evaluating which networks to support, XDC offers a unique combination of institutional-grade infrastructure, no principal-stake slashing, and growing adoption.
Why Institutions Prefer Delegated Infrastructure
Why Institutions Choose StakeXDC
Running an independent XDC validator requires:
- 10,000,000 XDC locked per validator
- 24/7 infrastructure monitoring
- Validator maintenance and upgrades
- Security and key management
- Internal operational risk controls
StakeXDC abstracts this complexity into a managed institutional staking layer, allowing partners to access XDC staking rewards without operating validator infrastructure internally.
This enables faster deployment, lower operational overhead, and scalable staking infrastructure for exchanges and institutional partners.
Integration Models
StakeXDC offers two integration paths for exchanges and institutional partners:
Model A - White Label
Your brand, our infrastructure. Operate XDC staking under your own brand using StakeXDC's architecture.
Model B - Powered by Prime
Integrate StakeXDC with visible co-branding. Lower integration effort, same underlying infrastructure.
