Background
BitMart is a global cryptocurrency exchange serving more than 10 million users across 180 countries, with particular depth across Asia, Europe, and emerging markets.
As demand for staking grew across its user base, BitMart set out to add ETH, SOL, and DOT staking directly within the exchange — three of the largest proof-of-stake networks by user demand. The goal was to launch all three simultaneously, accessible to users without external wallets or additional account setup, backed by infrastructure that could hold up at exchange scale.
The Problem
Staking across multiple proof-of-stake networks is not a single engineering problem. ETH, SOL, and DOT each have their own consensus model, their own validator economics, and their own operational surface area. Ethereum's consensus layer requires validator key management, MEV considerations, and slashing protection. Solana's epoch-based reward model has its own delegation mechanics and timing characteristics. Polkadot's nominated proof-of-stake system requires active nominator strategy and era-by-era performance tracking.
Building and maintaining this in-house per network is a sustained commitment — not a one-time build. For a platform whose core product is trading, not blockchain infrastructure, that commitment competes directly with the roadmap.
BitMart needed to offer multi-network staking at a quality level its users would trust, without making validator operations a permanent internal function.
Why P2P.org
The case for P2P.org comes down to two things: validator performance and API design.
On performance, P2P.org's 2025 numbers are difficult to argue with. P2P.org held the #1 validator position on Solana by APR for over 96% of the year. On Polkadot, it achieved the highest PPR and NRR every single day of 2025 — a consistency that matters specifically in NPoS, where nominator selection directly affects user rewards. On Ethereum, P2P.org was the leading validator by APR for 51 out of 52 weeks. These are not infrastructure provider claims — they are on-chain, verifiable outcomes.
That track record matters for an exchange. BitMart's users are not indifferent to reward performance. When staking is a product feature competing against trading for user attention and capital, the underlying validator quality is a product decision.
On API design, P2P.org's Unified Staking API is built specifically for platforms that want multi-network coverage from a single integration. One endpoint handles stake, unstake, sign, and data retrieval across all supported networks. The interface is consistent regardless of the underlying network — meaning BitMart's product team did not need to develop internal expertise in each chain's mechanics. New networks added to the API follow the same standard, so expanding coverage later does not require starting from scratch.
P2P.org is also SOC 2 Type II certified, which matters for an exchange operating across regulated markets. The compliance infrastructure is already in place.
The Integration
BitMart connected to P2P.org's Unified Staking API — a single endpoint covering ETH, SOL, and DOT through a consistent interface. P2P.org provides SDKs, documentation, and dedicated integration support throughout onboarding.
The operational split is clean. P2P.org runs the validators and handles the full execution layer: reward distribution, uptime, slashing protection, and network-specific operational requirements across all three assets. BitMart owns the user-facing product — the staking interface, account management, and reward display.
Because the API abstracts network-level differences, BitMart did not need to build or maintain separate internal systems for each chain. The complexity that would otherwise sit inside BitMart's engineering stack sits at the infrastructure level instead.
The Result
BitMart launched ETH, SOL, and DOT staking simultaneously — three networks live at once, backed by P2P.org's validator infrastructure.
Users across BitMart's global platform can now stake directly from their account with no external wallets or additional setup required. Staking rewards accrue according to each network's mechanics and are tracked within the exchange.
P2P.org infrastructure behind the integration:
- $10B+ in total assets staked
- 40+ proof-of-stake networks supported
- 190+ institutional clients globally
- 99.9%+ validator uptime
- Zero slashing incidents across seven years of operation
- SOC 2 Type II certified
"We wanted to offer staking across multiple networks without compromising on validator performance. P2P.org's track record across ETH, SOL, and DOT made the decision easy — our users are now staking on the same infrastructure that serves institutional clients globally."

What Comes Next
The Unified Staking API is designed to grow with BitMart's network coverage. Adding a new proof-of-stake network to the integration follows the same standard as the existing three — no separate build, no new infrastructure commitment on the exchange side.
BitMart's launch across ETH, SOL, and DOT is the foundation. The architecture is already in place to expand from here.
