Chorus One | 2025 in Review

Institutional Staking. Protocol Coverage. Research-Driven Insight.

January 13, 2026

As we launch into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the immense progress achieved in 2025. The past year was defined by market-leading validator performance, exciting product launches, and expanded access to Chorus One infrastructure through leading wallets, custodians, and exchanges. These milestones set the foundation for the work ahead as staking infrastructure continues to mature.

Throughout 2025, we expanded our product suite to support both institutions and builders.

🔐 Staking Widget

The Chorus One Earn Widget is a ready-to-integrate staking portal designed to be embedded directly into a partner’s website or app. Built on an iFrame, it allows platforms to offer staking products to their users almost instantly: no heavy lifting, no lengthy development cycles.

📊 Rewards Reporting Dashboard

Our Rewards Reporting Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into staking rewards across supported networks. Built for institutions, it offers transparent, auditable reporting that simplifies reconciliation, accounting, and performance tracking.

💧 TON Pool

Tailored for institutions, TON Pool redefines staking on TON by combining a security-first architecture, performance optimization, and seamless, developer-ready integrations to eliminate the friction that once hindered staking.

📈 Chorus One Earn

Chorus One Earn offers curated vaults with clearly defined risk profiles, active liquidity management, and real-time rewards tracking via the Chorus One platform. Users retain full custody and can access Chorus One Earn through the Widget, dApp, or SDK, making it easy to integrate stablecoin rewards into treasury operations or applications.

🛠️ Monad Staking Toolkit

Our Monad Toolkit provides an end-to-end staking solution for the Monad network from mainnet launch. It brings together staking, compounding functionality, and rewards reporting into a single, production-ready toolkit designed for both institutional participants and ecosystem partners.

Throughout 2025, we expanded access to Chorus One infrastructure through strategic partnerships across wallets, custodians, and exchanges, including OKJ, Cactus Custody, SafePal, and Bitget. These integrations broadened global reach while ensuring secure, compliant, and scalable staking for both institutional and retail users. Some notable partnerships were:

Research remains central to how we operate and where we deploy infrastructure. Throughout 2025, we continued to publish network-level analysis and performance insights. Here is our top 5 snippets of 2025:

Solana is beginning to deliver pockets of TradFi-grade execution quality, with leading prop AMMs achieving sub 1-5 bps spread on liquid pairs for smaller trade sizes. While execution still degrades at larger sizes due to balance-sheet constraints, the underlying market structure is already competitive and represents an early step toward Solana’s Internet Capital Markets vision.

We dived into the DoubleZero Effect, a unique dynamic shaping Solana validator behaviour and cluster performance. Our analysis explains how DoubleZero influences network stability, reward distribution, and system-level throughput, and what it means for operators and delegators as Solana scales. Read More

Early data from Firedancer’s initial release, Frankendancer, shows meaningful throughput gains on Solana, processing more vote and non-vote transactions per block than the current Agave client. Despite lower median-priority fees and minor latency trade-offs, the redesigned networking stack and scheduler deliver clear improvements in parallel execution and transaction handling. Read More

At Chorus One, we see DATs as pioneers bridging two financial systems: traditional corporate finance and decentralized infrastructure. Our whitepaper by Leeor Shimron (Head of Sales, Americas & Forbes Contributor) and Adam Sand (Head of Legal) explores this transformation in depth, including case studies and strategic frameworks for institutions.

Impermanent loss has long undermined liquidity provision in DeFi AMMs, causing LPs to underperform simple holding strategies. Yield Basis introduces a constant-leverage model that tracks BTC price 1:1 while still earning trading fees, effectively eliminating impermanent loss and making liquidity provision viable for institutional-grade assets.
