Product Drop: New and Improved BNB Staking Now Available

Zodia Custody has expanded its staking offering with custody-connected BNB staking, giving institutional clients a secure, transparent way to earn potential rewards on BNB directly from their custody wallets.

This improved implementation replaces legacy third-party dependencies, with new staking infrastructure delivering greater reliability, flexibility, and control – without compromising on institutional governance or security.

What is BNB staking?

BNB staking allows token holders to delegate BNB to a validator on BNB Smart Chain, helping secure the network while providing the opportunity to earn staking rewards in return.

When BNB is staked, assets are delegated to a validator pool where rewards accrue on-chain. Rewards compound within the staking pool until the client chooses to unstake and claim them back to their custody wallet.

What this means for Zodia clients

With Zodia’s native BNB staking integration, institutional clients benefit from a fully custody-connected staking experience, designed for scale, governance, and operational clarity.

Importantly, Zodia is not tied to a single staking provider. Clients can delegate to BNB validators of their choice without relying on third-party wallet tooling, creating flexibility as validator strategies evolve.

With this integration, clients can:

• Earn potential BNB staking rewards directly from their Zodia Custody wallets
• Stake, unstake, and withdraw rewards through a clear, auditable workflow
• Maintain institutional custody and approval controls throughout the staking lifecycle

How it works

• Protocol: BNB Smart Chain
• Consensus: Proof-of-Staked Authority (PoSA)
• Minimum deposit: 1 BNB
• Unbonding period: Protocol-defined (7 days)
• Rewards cadence: Accrue on-chain; claimable after unstaking
• Slashing risk: Yes, dependent on validator behaviour
• Custody model: Assets remain under Zodia Custody control throughout staking
• Available staking partners: Configurable BNB validators (not restricted to specific providers) including Figment and others.

Staking lifecycle at a glance

1. BNB is delegated from the custody wallet to a selected validator pool
2. Rewards accrue and compound while assets remain staked
3. Upon unstaking, assets enter an unbonding period
4. After unbonding, funds become claimable and can be withdrawn back to the wallet

During unbonding, assets do not earn rewards and cannot be transferred or re-staked.
