What is Figment?
Figment is a staking provider for institutions such as asset managers, exchanges and custodians. It says 1,500+ institutional clients across 30+ protocols use it for validator operations without transferring custody, and it offers slashing coverage, a staking API and white-label staking.
How Figment works
Figment operates validators, and institutions stake to them from their own custody; Figment never has access to the private keys.
On Ethereum you stake in multiples of 32 ETH, and Figment's batch smart contract can create up to 250 validators, or 8,000 ETH, in one transaction. Rewards go to the validator's withdrawal address, which cannot be changed later. When you exit, a validator passes through the network's exit queue and then waits a further 256 epochs before funds can be withdrawn.
Developers use the Figment API to create ready-to-sign staking transactions on Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Polygon, Cosmos, Cardano, Avalanche and NEAR, broadcast them, and track activation or withdrawal through webhooks. A Rewards API reports what Figment validators earned for you. Elements is a React component library for embedding a staking widget for Ethereum, Solana and Babylon. The API allows 200 requests per second and 3,500 per minute.
How to start with Figment
- Figment sells to institutions such as asset managers, exchanges, custodians and foundations, so you start with the Meet with Us form; the site also links a Staking App.
- Developers can read the API docs and quickstart recipes first.
- Because you keep your keys, the docs explain how to unstake without Figment: on Solana with web3.js or Phantom after the epoch boundary, on Cosmos through Keplr with a 21-day wait, and on Babylon through its own dashboard.
Figment fees and limits
Figment does not publish a price list. Its staking terms say you authorize a service fee that the network transfers to Figment directly, and that these fees are public on each network's block explorer, so you can check the rate on-chain before delegating. Ethereum clients can also buy extra double-sign slashing cover from Nexus Mutual through Figment's partnership.
Risks to know before using Figment
- Figment's staking terms disclaim liability for slashing penalties, so protection comes from its separate slashing coverage program.
- That program targets double signing, downtime and missed rewards, and combined with Nexus Mutual cover it can reach up to 100% double-sign protection on Ethereum.
- Figment also commits to alert you if a double-sign event hits one of its validators.
- The terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada, and its environment is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
