Secure, high-performance staking now available for custody clients across LUKSO’s blockchain network for creators
Crypto.com, one of the world’s leading digital asset platforms, has partnered with the LUKSO Foundation and GlobalStake to deliver Trading, Custody, and Staking solutions for LUKSO, an emerging Layer 1 blockchain designed to power the New Creative Economies. Through this collaboration, Crypto.com Custody clients now have seamless access to secure, institutional-grade staking infrastructure operated by GlobalStake, supporting the growth, decentralization, and resilience of the LUKSO network. As part of this initiative, clients can stake LUKSO (LYX) assets directly through Crypto.com’s trusted platform while benefiting from GlobalStake’s bare-metal, SOC 2 Type II-certified validator infrastructure, purpose-built for high-performance staking at scale.
“LUKSO represents an exciting evolution in blockchain utility, from Universal Profiles and new blockchain standards, to its focus on creators building an on-chain culture and economy. We are proud to collaborate with Crypto.com and the LUKSO Foundation to help secure this ecosystem,” said Ryan Haczynski, Head of Protocol Partnerships at GlobalStake. “Our partnership brings the same level of institutional reliability, transparency, and performance to LUKSO staking that clients already trust across other leading proof-of-stake networks.”
A Purpose-Built Partnership for Institutional Adoption
This collaboration addresses the needs of fund managers, exchanges, and enterprise allocators who demand operational excellence and compliance-ready solutions for emerging digital assets. By combining Crypto.com’s regulated custody and trading platform, GlobalStake’s independent staking infrastructure, and LUKSO ’s protocol stewardship, the partnership creates an end-to-end staking solution aligned with institutional requirements.
“The collaboration with Crypto.com and GlobalStake marks an important step for the LUKSO ecosystem. As we continue to build the infrastructure for culture, having reliable, secure, and decentralized staking infrastructure is important. GlobalStake’s commitment to bare-metal infrastructure and institutional-grade standards ensures that the LUKSO network is strong and reliable”— Fabian Vogelsteller, Co-Founder at LUKSO
Together, the three organizations are committed to supporting LUKSO’s decentralized security while delivering a user experience that preserves control, optimizes yield, and meets the highest standards of governance.
