Invest in Figment

Software - Figment’s DataHub platform lets developers use the most powerful and unique features of a blockchain without having to become protocol experts, accelerating the development of new Web 3 applications.

Capital - Figment Capital offers seed funding and growth support to new, highly innovative PoS projects.

Figment is the complete staking solution for 250+ institutional clients including asset managers, custodians, exchanges, foundations, and wallets to earn rewards on their digital assets.

Figment offers staking and software support for over 60+ PoS networks with a robust pipeline of future additions.

Bringing together point-and-click tools with insightful data sets to manage staking positions, Figment is the complete staking solution for institutions. Figment’s unique staking dashboard and insights section provides data on protocol wide and validator specific performance. For technical integrations, developers have a special section to manage Figment’s Staking and Rewards APIs.

Figment’s APIs simplify the integration of staking services on their clients’ platforms. Customers can broadcast transactions programmatically and leverage sophisticated reporting to provide an exceptional customer experience.

Figment’s Staking API drastically increases the speed at which developers can add staking functionality for many digital assets. The Staking API abstracts away network-specific operations, allowing API interaction in the exact same way, regardless of network or the type of action a user wishes to take.

Figment’s Rewards API does all the heavy lifting to calculate the staking rewards earned by Figment validators for several digital assets including Ethereum and Solana. This allows users to quickly see the precise amount of tokens being earned by Figment validators.

Figment’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, SLAs (service-level agreements), and slashing insurance allow its clients to participate in PoS networks safely and securely across a growing range of networks that support the diverse ecosystems being built above them. Figment Networks is one of the few transcoders offering a service-level agreement (SLA), which guarantees compensation for missed rewards arising from any failure in performance.

Figment offers peace of mind to its customers by running some of the industry’s most robust infrastructure, including a SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified environment, as well as holistic coverage to mitigate risks associated with slashing events.

Figment is the first staking provider to contractually commit to offering double-sign slashing alerting. By prioritizing transparency across all its supported networks, Figment bolsters its position as the best staking partner for institutional customers.

Figment’s own $17.5 million investment fund, Figment Capital, launched in April ‘21 and has since invested in teams and networks with a focus on proof-of-stake consensus models, interoperability, and privacy. Investments include Osmosis, a decentralized exchange based on the Cosmos network, crypto staking protocol Obol, and Ethereum scaling and privacy engine zkSync, among others.

Figment generates revenue by taking a cut from all staking revenue that gets generated. "The majority of our staking revenue comes from our institutional clients, with some earning from retail delegators as well since a lot of our validators are public. We do stake tokens that are on our balance sheet, but it is nowhere near the majority of our revenue," said Clayton Menzel, head of protocols and opportunities at Figment.

In July 2022, Figment announced that it will launch “Figment White Label”, a staking solution that maximizes branding, security, and control by offering private validators for the exclusive use of a single client.

The partnership will provide Figment customers with the best in class on-chain protection to protect institutional clients against common risks associated with staking, like downtime and slashing penalties.

In March 2022, Figment launched its DataHub Version 2. Version 2 is an update on Figment’s Web 3 Developer node infrastructure platform, making it easier for Web 3 developers to build and launch new apps.
