P2P.org and Taurus Bring Non-Custodial Staking Inside Banking-Grade Custody Infrastructure

P2P.org is now integrated with Taurus. 

Our non-custodial validator infrastructure is available inside Taurus-PROTECT, the digital asset custody platform built for banks and financial institutions.

The integration starts with Ethereum, built using P2P.org's Staking API and the Beacon Chain deposit contract, and extends to other Proof-of-Stake networks where P2P.org is available as a validator through the Taurus interface.

TL;DR

• P2P.org is now available inside Taurus-PROTECT, starting with Ethereum and extending to more networks through the Taurus interface. 
• Assets stay in Taurus custody. Clients delegate to P2P.org validator operations. Each protocol sets the rewards. 
• Banks can stake inside the platform they already use, without rebuilding their controls around a new provider.

For Ethereum, P2P.org built a direct integration using its Staking API and the Beacon Chain deposit contract.

On the other networks, clients select P2P.org as a validator inside the Taurus interface, where P2P.org has been added as an approved provider. 

In both cases, clients keep control of their assets inside Taurus custody while delegating to P2P.org validator operations, and staking rewards come from each protocol's network reward rate.

What Taurus-PROTECT is

Taurus is a Swiss digital asset infrastructure firm, founded in 2018 and regulated by FINMA. Taurus-PROTECT is its custody platform: the system a bank uses to hold and move digital assets. 

What matters for staking is what the platform already does. 

When banks adopt Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus integrates into the bank's existing risk management, compliance, and operational frameworks, and the bank keeps full oversight and control of its assets. 

The controls a bank needs are already in the platform.

Staking used to mean leaving that environment

A bank that wanted to stake client assets usually had to move them to a separate provider. 

That meant taking on a different security model and running a second set of operational processes next to the controls compliance and risk had already approved. 

For a regulated financial institution, all of it has to clear internal review before anything goes live.

Most institutions found that hard to justify. The validator and the network were rarely the problem. The work was in rebuilding governance around a new provider, and it was heavy enough that many banks decided staking was not worth offering.

Running the validator inside Taurus-PROTECT removes that work

Assets stay where the bank already holds them.

The security model does not change. The same controls that cover custody, the approval flows, the access policies, the audit trails, also cover staking. 

A bank already on Taurus-PROTECT can enable P2P.org validator operations inside its current setup instead of standing up a new one.

That is what moves staking from a project to a feature. The bank is not taking on new infrastructure; it is enabling something inside infrastructure it already trusts.

Swiss and European private banks are moving first

Swiss and European private banks are likely to move first, and the reason is their approval process. 

Anything that touches client assets has to clear internal risk and compliance review, and that review turns on a single question: does this fit the controls the bank already runs? 

Because P2P.org operates inside Taurus-PROTECT, which these banks have already vetted, staking doesn't trigger a new review. It runs inside one they have already passed.

Taurus is the first integration, and the template for the rest

For most regulated institutions, the limit on staking has been governance fit, not validator quality. 

Integrating a provider bank by bank is slow, because every institution runs the same review on its own. 

Putting the validator inside a custody platform the bank already uses reaches every institution on that platform through a path they have already approved.

P2P.org operates validator infrastructure across +50 networks. 

The work now is making it available inside the systems institutions already trust. Taurus is where that starts.
