The new Stakewith.us
Q3 2020 Update: Our new structure, new identity & new hires
It’s been one and a half years since the bones of our startup. Today, we’re making way for new growth, new opportunities, and marking it with some exciting updates.
Thanks to our supporters, we’ve grown our staking AUM from $10m USD to more than $30m USD within the last 12 months. We’re currently providing staking support across seven projects on mainnet and assisting eight different projects on their testnets. We expect a majority of them to come live within the next six months, with ethereum 2.0 being the most exciting of them.
DeFi is also the talk of the town lately. This thriving ecosystem kick-started many innovations that reinvent the way anyone could interact with money. DeFi products are highly complementary to staking products. They could be a less risky avenue to onboard new users into crypto. After all, users get to earn better yields on stablecoins than what their banks can offer!
With that, the Stakewith.us company has officially received a new coat of paint to mark the beginning of a new season. We’re providing a suite of secured yield solutions on various crypto assets for global investors.
Our new business structure
Stakewith.us was initially founded as a staking infrastructure firm, solely providing solutions for investors to earn rewards via staking on blockchain projects.
We’ve got grander goals.
With the Unagii brand’s birth this year, we’ve expanded our business offerings beyond staking to yields in DeFi. We needed to reposition ourselves for clarity to our existing clients and capture our new retail target segment.
Stakewith.us remains the registered company and name of our business and operations. It will provide secured yield solutions for crypto asset investors with two distinct product segments: (1) Institutional Staking, and (2) Retail Yields.
Institutional Staking
For complex needs, global institutional investors can speak with us for tailored solutions. Run validators under your brand, streamline your staking yield operations or service us to manage large staking amounts.
Top exchanges, funds, and High-Net-Worth individuals worldwide trust us with over $30m USD in assets today.
Retail Yields
For the retail investors in the market, Unagii.com will serve self-managed needs with a simple and easy-to-use platform. KyberDao KNC staking will be the first project for the Beta test (launching soon*).
All of our retail staking capabilities on the current atlas.stakewith.us will eventually be ported over to Unagii by Q4 2020. Existing users can continue to stake Cosmos, Kava, Terra, and Band Protocol tokens on ATLAS until the platform is deprecated.
After that, stakers can sign up for an account on app.unagii.com to continue staking with us. We’ve integrated the Google oAuth login, so users have the option for faster and secure account access.
Aside from staking, users can expect various DeFi yield options on Unagii.com to earn on, e.g., in lending, farming, trading, pooling, and more.

*Update Aug 4: Launch delayed due to pending contract audits by the Kyber Network and Protofire team.
Our new logo and website
As Stakewith.us grows as a company, we needed a new look that will better reflect the company’s new direction and bolder identity.
The Stakewith.us logo and color palette got a small update — we’ve dropped our logomark and aligned the style of our new wordmark with the Unagii brand. It helps ensure a level of cohesiveness in the brand family while retaining the essence of the Stakewith.us identity.
Our primary color is now a deep muted dark blue with a vivid secondary violet. It’ll give our identity a bolder sense of credibility and a fresh spin on the original purple tones.

Upcoming new hires
Two new key hires will be added to the team to help us finesse our build towards our goal. They will be taking on the challenge of building smarter solutions for Unagii.
Our newly appointed Smart Contract Lead Engineer will lead our smart contract designs for upcoming yield products and ensure that Unagii is highly secure and stable for use.
Another key hire will be our Product Design Lead to help us fine-tune our designs up a notch and work towards revolutionizing the Unagii UI/UX in the market.
We’re thrilled about what’s ahead and look forward to welcoming our new additions to the team very soon — experienced specialists who are passionate about what they do and who share our goal in reducing friction in the way users interact with digital assets.
