Northstake Unveils stVault API Integration to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption of stVaults

‍Copenhagen, Denmark — January 13th, 2026 — Northstake, a leading regulated staking provider, today announced the launch of its Lido V3stVault API — a suite of enterprise-grade API suite designed to simplify integration with stVaults, Lido’s next-generation liquid staking primitive for Ethereum. This initiative empowers institutional staking clients, custodians, and asset managers to seamlessly incorporate stVault into existing infrastructure and scale participation in the broader Lido ecosystem.

Building on Lido’s modular staking architecture — where stVaults deliver configurable staking positions that retain the liquidity of stETH while enabling tailored validator selection and compliance features — Northstake’s new API suite offers standardized endpoints, flexible authentication, and advanced reporting tools for enterprise clients. By abstracting protocol-specific complexity and delivering streamlined integration points, the Northstake stVault API is engineered to reduce implementation timelines from months to weeks and accelerate institutional adoption.  

‍Jesper Johansen, CEO and Founder of Northstake, said:

“Institutions face real challenges when integrating blockchain-native staking primitives into regulated workflows — from compliance requirements to technology stack compatibility. Our stVault API integration bridges that gap, offering secure, scalable, and auditable connectivity to Lido’s stVault infrastructure. This marks a significant step toward enterprise-ready liquid staking, enabling clients to unlock capital efficiency without compromising operational controls.”

The stVault API integration supports a variety of enterprise use cases, including leveraged staking, access to DeFi and automated data integration for treasury accounting, real-time position monitoring, validator-level performance analytics and risk monitoring — all while preserving the liquidity characteristics of stETH. Early adopters testing the API have cited drastically reduced development overhead and greater transparency across staking operations.

Northstake’s infrastructure is already trusted by a diverse ecosystem of institutional participants, including global asset managers, licensed custodians, and regulated market makers. With the introduction of the stVault API, Northstake expects accelerated onboarding of enterprise clients seeking to integrate Lido’s stVaults into treasury systems, fund accounting platforms, and custom financial products.
