Secure Infrastructure
Blockshard operates validator and signing infrastructure using access controls, encryption and monitoring. We do not hold customer wallet keys. Direct validator customers control their withdrawal address; StakeWise validators withdraw to the vault contract, with Blockshard's administrative role described in our Terms. These safeguards cannot eliminate downtime, software, smart-contract or slashing risks.

Operational risks and safeguards
Blockshard provides non-custodial validator infrastructure and does not take custody of customer assets. Validator signing permissions are separate from control over withdrawals. Non-custodial operation does not eliminate operational, protocol or smart-contract risks. The following outlines relevant risks and safeguards.
Our non-custodial role
Blockshard provides non-custodial validator infrastructure and does not take custody of customer assets. For direct validator setups, customers retain control of their withdrawal address. Blockshard performs validator duties using signing credentials; these permissions are separate from control over withdrawals.
Pool-based access
For StakeWise vaults, the vault smart contract is the validators’ withdrawal address. Customers control their own wallets and vault positions and initiate deposits and withdrawals under StakeWise’s protocol rules. Blockshard is Vault Admin, with permissions over validator operations, deposit data, permitted parameters and fees, including initiating validator exits. Blockshard does not hold customer wallet keys or have discretion to redirect customer balances or withdrawal claims to an arbitrary address. Smart-contract, administrative, operator and withdrawal-queue risks remain.
Ethereum operational risks
- Validator operation: Downtime, software faults or configuration errors can result in missed rewards and protocol penalties. Certain conflicting validator signatures can result in slashing and loss of staked ETH.
- Signing-key security: Compromised signing credentials can disrupt validator operation and expose the validator to penalties. Validator signing permissions do not, by themselves, provide control of the configured withdrawal address.
Operational safeguards and limitations
- Signing safeguards: Slashing-protection checks are designed to reduce conflicting signatures. Their effectiveness depends on correct configuration and operation; they cannot eliminate slashing risk.
- Access controls: Separation of signing duties and restricted access can reduce exposure of signing credentials. These measures do not eliminate the risks of software faults, configuration errors or compromised systems.
