Get to know StakeHound

StakeHound was a cryptocurrency company that aimed to bridge the gap between staking and the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Its primary service involved users depositing cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) or Firo (FIRO), which StakeHound would then stake on their behalf. In return, users received "staked" tokens (e.g., stETH, stFIRO) on a 1:1 basis, which could be freely traded or used in various DeFi applications while the original assets earned staking rewards. In June 2021, the company's operations came to a halt after its custody provider, Fireblocks, allegedly lost the private keys to a wallet containing 38,178 ETH, making StakeHound's corresponding stETH tokens unredeemable. The company has been inactive since this event and initiated legal proceedings against its custodian.

License

A Grade License

Issued by globally renowned regulators, these licenses ensure the highest trader protection through strict compliance, fund segregation, insurance, and regular audits. Dispute resolution and adherence to AML/CTF standards further enhance security.

Granted by respected regional regulators, these licenses offer robust safety measures such as fund segregation, financial reporting, and compensation schemes. Though slightly less strict than Tier 1, they provide dependable regional protection.

C Grade License
