What is Swiss Liquid Staking Vault?

The Swiss Liquid Staking Vault, created through a partnership between Brick Towers and StakeWise, is an innovative staking solution on the StakeWise v3 platform. It’s designed to enable individuals to earn Ethereum (ETH) rewards while maintaining liquidity, a significant advantage for those who wish to remain flexible with their capital. This Vault leverages Brick Towers’ secure and banking-grade infrastructure, ensuring a high level of safety and reliability. Key features of the Swiss Liquid Staking Vault include:

  1. Flexibility in Staking and Unstaking: Individuals can stake or unstake any amount of their assets at any time, providing a high degree of flexibility and control over their funds.
  2. Full Control Over Capital: Individuals maintain complete control over their staked capital, aligning with the principles of self-custody.
  3. Unmatched Security and Low Fees: The Vault boasts top-tier security measures and competitive fees, making it a secure and cost-effective staking option.
  4. Integration with DeFi Applications: Individuals can leverage their staked assets within various DeFi platforms (lending & borrowing, yield farming and restaking) , enhancing the utility and potential rewards on their stake.

The Swiss Liquid Staking Vault presents a seamless and secure way for individuals to participate in Ethereum staking, with added benefits of liquidity and integration with the broader DeFi ecosystem (coming soon).

For our institutional clients, we’re excited to unveil our new Private Vault setup — Brick Towers Institutional. These bespoke Vaults are designed with exclusive, individual agreements, guaranteeing that the stake is securely held, segregated from other Vaults and therefore meeting the requirements of our institutional clients.

Unlocking Ethereum Staking Flexibility with StakeWise v3

StakeWise v3 is addressing the problem of stake centralization in Ethereum, which can be observed with the growth of major providers such as Lido, Coinbase, Binance and others. Partially, the concentration can also be explained with the complexity to run an Ethereum Validator node, which requires besides the minimum of 32 ETH, technical expertise, hardware and security measures. Many have turned to commercial node operators for their expertise and resources.

To counteract this trend, StakeWise v3 introduces “Vaults” or mini staking pools, making node setup and management more accessible. Each Vault is customizable, allowing operators to configure their client solutions, KYC features, and MEV relays, accepting delegations and creating a diverse staking marketplace for users.

At the forefront of StakeWise v3 is osETH, the StakeWise ecosystem’s principal liquid staking token. osETH represents the ETH staked across various Vaults, accruing rewards from a broad spectrum of node operators. This setup ensures decentralization by design.

Support Brick Towers in preserving Ethereum’s security and health

In conclusion, reversing the trend of centralization brought by liquid staking services in Ethereum is crucial for maintaining the network’s decentralized ethos. This can be achieved by redirecting new Ether inflows towards smaller but high quality operators and boosting the involvement of solo operators. StakeWise V3 aims to achieve both and therefore is aligned with Brick Towers’s mission and aspiration to play a pivotal role in preserving the decentralized nature of Ethereum, ensuring its resilience and long-term sustainability.
