Getting Started

Northstake Validator Marketplace enable institutional clients to easily trade Ethereum validators in over-the-counter (OTC) transactions. Institutions can seamlessly exchange staked ETH for liquid ETH via a streamlined request-for-quote (RFQ) process.


How the Validator Marketplace Works

The marketplace consists of three core components:

Dedicated Staking Vaults: Deployed individually for each user, these specialized smart contracts provide a secure way to stake ETH, and enable the execution of sales of Ethereum validators.

Validator Marketplace Interface: An interface enabling users to connect their wallet to staking vaults, stake ETH and manage validator sales through a streamlined request-for-quote (RFQ) process.

Northstake API & SDK: Robust tools that enable developers and partners to automate workflows and interact programmatically with the Northstake platform.
