Benefits of the VSP
Investors and Stakers enjoy the additional verification layer that makes it easy for them to pick a Provider vetted by the No.1 authority in the Staking industry. Our users will save hours of their own personal time spent conducting due diligence by simply outsourcing that burden to us to vet Providers based on the above criteria.
