Chorus One | October Updates

Institutional Staking. Protocol Coverage. Research-Driven Insight.

October 30, 2025

October was a month of accelerated growth across our products, partnerships, and research.

Together, these developments underscore Chorus One’s commitment to building secure, data-driven infrastructure that powers the future of staking.

At Chorus One, our mission is to make staking Simple, Scalable and Secure for our institutional partners. This month, we’re highlighting products that embody that vision:

📦 SDK Growth

Our SDK continues to see steady growth, with an increasing number of developers integrating staking functionality directly into their apps and platforms. This momentum highlights growing demand for secure, modular staking integrations built on Chorus One’s infrastructure.

💰 Earn Widget: Unified Rewards for Web3 Wallets and FinTech Apps

Following the success of our Chorus One Widget, we’re introducing the Earn Widget. A simple, embedded module for platforms to offer staking and stablecoin rewards to users without complex integration in collaboration with Morpho and Steakhouse.

  • Prebuilt UI & wallet support

  • Staking, unstaking & reward tracking

  • Customizable to your brand

This brings seamless access to staking and stablecoin rewards to wallets and FinTechs worldwide.

⚡ HYPE Rewards Reporting

We’ve expanded our Rewards platform to support Hyperliquid (HYPE), offering transparent reward data, validator commissions, and daily analytics for the high-performance Layer 1.

This integration gives delegators and providers deeper visibility into network performance and staking outcomes.

🌐 Monad Testnet: dApp & SDK Now Live

We’re excited to announce that the Chorus One SDK and Staking dApp is now live on the Monad testnet, expanding our developer tooling to one of the most promising high-performance Layer-1 networks. With this launch, developers can seamlessly integrate staking and reward analytics on Monad using the same SDK that powers our multi-chain institutional infrastructure.

We continued strengthening our ecosystem presence with impactful new partnerships:

💼 Chorus One Joins Forces with Morpho and Steakhouse Financial

We’re collaborating with Morpho and Steakhouse to launch Chorus One Earn. A new, risk-managed stablecoin product combining transparency, performance, and institutional-grade risk frameworks. Together, we’re redefining how treasuries and funds earn stablecoin rewards with full on-chain visibility. Read the Announcement

🌍 Expanding Avalanche Validator Infrastructure in Africa

In partnership with the Avalanche Foundation, we’re strengthening validator infrastructure across Africa, supporting regional decentralization, education, and long-term network resilience. Learn More about the Collaboration

🔗 SafePal x Chorus One: SOL dApp Launch

Our integration with SafePal brings Solana staking directly into the SafePal Earn experience, enabling users to stake SOL securely through the Chorus One dApp, accessible directly from their SafePal wallet. Stake SOL on SafePal

🏗️ Lido v3: Bringing Modular Staking Infrastructure to Institutions

At Chorus One, we build solutions that combine simplicity, flexibility, and performance, and our latest product leverages Lido stVaults to deliver two complementary strategies:

  • Vanilla staking: a straightforward ETH staking experience tailored for institutions seeking reliable yield.

  • Looped staking: a strategy that compounds rewards by re-deploying staked ETH into lending and borrowing protocols, thereby maximizing yield potential while maintaining access to liquidity.

October’s research series dives deep into the mechanics and strategy of next-generation staking and treasury management:

✅ How SOC 2 Matters for Crypto: Bridging TradFi and DeFi

SOC 2 is now the baseline language of trust for institutional crypto proving controls are documented, tested, and auditable, but it doesn’t fully cover blockchain-specific risks like validator uptime, key management, or on-chain resilience. The next step is a layered model: pair SOC 2 (operational assurance) with ISO 27001 (continuous risk governance) and DORA (regulatory resilience) to meet enterprise requirements end-to-end. Looking ahead, a “SOC 3.0” paradigm will blend continuous monitoring, cryptographic proofs, and real-time transparency, turning trust from a point-in-time audit into a living, verifiable standard for staking infrastructure.

⚙️ Monad Deep Dive: High-Throughput EVM with Sub-Second Finality

Monad pairs MonadBFT (pipelined HotStuff with tail-fork resistance) and optimistic parallel + speculative execution to achieve ~sub-second finality and high throughput without sacrificing safety. With RaptorCast for fast block propagation and MonadDB (a native MPT store) for efficient state management, it delivers low-latency, deterministic execution while openly trading faster state sync for partial external trust when using snapshots.

⚖️ Yield Basis: Solving DeFi’s Impermanent Loss Problem

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.
