Decentralised finance (DeFi) company Cake DeFi has added Ethereum Staking service with 5% returns via Singapore-based nodes which allows unstaking anytime, the company announced on Oct 6.
Its co-founder and CEO Dr Julian Hosp said the company made a deliberate decision to host its own nodes in Singapore, when it is mainly concentrated in North America and Europe. “Hosting our own Singapore-based nodes will boost the confidence of investors and developers in the region and support the spirit of decentralisation,” he added.
