Questions institutions ask
Who holds the withdrawal credentials?
You do. They are set when a validator is created and point to an address you control, the only place its stake can go. Develp manages the keys that sign duties, and those keys cannot move funds.
How is concentration risk handled?
Every setup is designed with concentration in mind, and the assessment shows where a stake is concentrated today.
How do exits work?
Since the Pectra upgrade in May 2025, the address in your withdrawal credentials can trigger an exit on its own, and Develp can also send the exit for you. The network's exit queue sets the wait, and it moves with demand.
How are fees set?
Per client, depending on the stake and the setup. The team goes through them on a call.
