An institutional-grade Ethereum staking platform, MAVAN, has been launched by Bitmine Immersion Technologies. This platform will run validator infrastructure for its own holdings and external clients.
Staking is a process of locking up Ether to help validate transactions on the network in exchange for rewards.
Bitmine is the largest public company holder of Ether, having more than 3.1 million ETH already staked. MAVAN will benefit from this status of Bitmine. MAVAN, or Made in America Validator Network, is the company’s proprietary Ethereum staking platform.
The platform was initially developed to support Bitmine’s existing Ethereum treasury and is now being offered to institutional clients and custodians, who are expected to bring additional ETH holdings onto the platform in the coming weeks.
As it prepares to invest the majority of its remaining Ether holdings, Bitmine stated that it had staked 101,776 ETH during the last week and intends to keep raising the amount allocated to MAVAN. Based on current rates, the business projects that staking rewards might be close to $300 million per year.
The new staking platform is anticipated to be extended to more proof-of-stake networks and blockchain services, utilising both a globally distributed setup and US-based infrastructure.
With support from investors including ARK Invest, Founders Fund, Kraken, Pantera Capital, Digital Currency Group, and Galaxy Digital, Bitmine is aiming for institutions, custodians, and exchanges.
