P2P.org

We’re excited to welcome Max Mironov, General Manager of New Bets at P2P.org, to our upcoming webinar on 25 August. Max brings more than seven years of experience building products across the digital asset ecosystem, working at both the protocol and application levels. At P2P.org, he leads the development of data products designed to make digital asset infrastructure more intelligent, accessible, and scalable. With a PhD in Mathematics and a background in quantitative research, Max brings a deeply analytical perspective to the infrastructure required for professional onchain markets. Before joining P2P.org, he served as Head of Product at OneBalance, where he led the development of chain abstraction infrastructure designed to remove bridging, gas, and chain complexity from the non-custodial user experience. As institutional and high-frequency trading activity moves onchain, we’re looking forward to Max’s insights on trading-grade data, execution quality, latency, and what decentralized markets still need to compete with the performance and reliability of traditional financial infrastructure. 25 August 2026 / 16:30 CEST Register here: https://lnkd.in/ednjuXPY Join us as we bring together leading voices from across the ecosystem to discuss what high-frequency trading firms actually need from onchain infrastructure.

Institutional crypto adoption is moving faster than market sentiment suggests. In a recent conversation, Sidney Powell, Co-Founder and CEO of Maple Finance. shared what is accelerating institutional participation in digital assets and what is still holding it back. The biggest unlocks are becoming clearer: > Regulatory clarity. Stablecoin legislation and broader market structure rules are giving traditional institutions more confidence to enter the space. > Permissioned access. Regulated firms need to know who they are transacting alongside and whether every participant meets the required compliance standards. > Transparency and reporting. Institutions need clear visibility into the assets, strategies, and risks behind every onchain product. > Reliable liquidity. Capital cannot move onchain at scale unless institutions have confidence around redemption timelines and access to funds. > Custody connectivity. Many institutions already have digital asset custody in place. The next step is creating a seamless and secure path from custody to onchain lending, borrowing, staking, and other institutional-grade opportunities. The conversation has moved beyond returns alone. Institutional-grade infrastructure now means compliance, custody, transparency, liquidity, and operational risk management working together. And while recent price action may have disappointed some market participants, the fundamentals tell a different story. Major financial institutions are exploring crypto-backed lending, stablecoin infrastructure, tokenized assets, and onchain partnerships at an accelerating pace. Price may dominate the headlines, but infrastructure and adoption are what build the market. At P2P.org, we believe the next phase of institutional crypto will be defined not only by access to digital assets, but by the infrastructure that allows institutions to deploy them securely, transparently, and at scale. ** Views expressed are those of the speaker and do not constitute investment advice.

Seven months ago, institutional allocators were still asking if Solana could handle serious capital. That debate has gone quiet. Not because the arguments changed, but because the evidence did: Alpenglow now has sub-second finality in live testing, MoneyGram is running an active Solana validator, Baillie Gifford issued a tokenized fund natively on the network, and Open USD, a 140+ member consortium including Visa, Mastercard, and BlackRock, chose Solana for native issuance from day one. So the question institutions are actually asking has moved. It's not "does this network work." It's "who do I trust to operate on it, and can I defend the numbers to a risk committee?" We wrote up what Q2 built, what it means for the second half of the year, and where P2P.org's own validator performance landed against the network average:

P2P.org is glad to support Alpen Labs as we prepare to join Testnet III as a bridge operator, helping secure deposits and withdrawals under the Strata bridge's 1-of-N trust model.

BitGo, a Fortune 500 company, has made P2P.org a staking partner. Its institutional clients can now stake across major networks while their assets stay in BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association custody. For most institutions, the blocker on staking was never validator quality. It was a governance fit: moving assets to a separate provider meant a second security model and a new set of controls to clear with compliance. Staking inside existing custody removes that work. Before a federally chartered custodian puts a partner behind client assets, it verifies what matters: -Zero slashing events to date -99.9%+ uptime -SOC 2 Type II attestation P2P.org has operated validator infrastructure since 2018 across 40+ networks. That record is the foundation we are extending as we move further into institutional DeFi. Why a Fortune 500 custodian chose P2P.org for staking: https://lnkd.in/gqYnaUak

What does high-frequency trading actually need to move on-chain? As institutional participation in digital assets accelerates, the conversation is moving beyond protocols and tokenomics toward the infrastructure that powers professional trading. Trading firms, market makers, exchanges, infrastructure providers, and institutional investors are increasingly exploring on-chain markets. But participation is only part of the story. Latency, data quality, execution reliability, MEV, liquidity, and market structure will determine whether decentralized markets can truly meet the demands of professional and high-frequency trading firms. Join us on 25 August for the practitioner roundtable: High-Frequency Trading Infrastructure On-Chain: What Firms Actually Need From market structure and data infrastructure to execution challenges and hidden trading costs, the discussion will offer a practical look at what firms need to operate effectively on-chain, and how the ecosystem must evolve to meet institutional expectations. 25 August 2026 // 4:30 PM CEST // Live webinar Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Why do institutions restake? The same staked ETH that secures Ethereum can simultaneously secure additional services and generate additional protocol-defined rewards. But that extension comes with stacked slashing exposure, operator concentration risk, and AVS-level smart contract risk that most institutional evaluations underweight. Restaking is not a yield enhancement layered on top of a staking program. It is a decision to extend slashing exposure across multiple independently governed services simultaneously. Each actively validated service an institution opts into adds its own slashing conditions, its own operator requirements, and its own reward accounting complexity. The compounding effect across a full AVS list is the risk category most institutional evaluations underweight. P2P.org has published a complete reference guide covering what restaking for institutions is, how AVSs work, the reward mechanics, the stacked slashing risk architecture, operator selection criteria, liquid restaking token risk, and a full due diligence checklist.

Lido Finance has been a core partner for us since day one. We put the Curated Module migration to 0x02 validators through its paces on Hoodi testnet, and we're ready to bring that same rigor to mainnet consolidation. Big moment for Lido Core, proud to be part of it 🤝
