Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 5 scores — (4.0 + 10.0 + 5.0 + 9.0 + 5.0) ÷ 5 = 6.6.
Pros
- States plainly that it never takes custody; tokens stay under your key
- Three levels of insurance against client loss
- Over 40 protocols supported
- Names institutional clients and reports $15bn+ staked
Cons
- No commission or fee figure is published
- Insurance coverage limits are not stated, only that three levels exist
- A single institutional operator, not a distributed validator set
- Oriented to institutions rather than individual stakers
The custody statement is unambiguous
Figment states that tokens remain on the blockchain under the control of your private key and that it never takes custody. Among providers of this size that sentence is not universal, and it is the reason Figment scores full marks on control.
Insurance is rare in this category
Three levels of insurance against client loss are described. No other platform in this comparison documents insurance at all, though the coverage limits are not published, which stops it short of a perfect risk score.
Built for institutions
With over 500 institutional clients and more than $15bn staked, the service is aimed at asset managers, custodians and exchanges. Individuals will find neither a published rate card nor a self-service exit route.
