Artemiy Parshakov is Vice President of Institutions at P2P.org, a blockchain infrastructure firm known for non-custodial staking services. In this role, he focuses on institutional partnerships, growth, and product development for staking and related on-chain services. His work sits at the intersection of proof-of-stake network operations, institutional requirements for reliability and risk management, and evolving design questions around decentralization and scalability.
Overview
Parshakov’s remit at P2P.org centers on supporting institutions that want exposure to staking across major proof-of-stake ecosystems. In practice, this typically includes helping asset managers, funds, exchanges, and custodians integrate staking as a yield and network-participation function, while aligning with internal controls, reporting expectations, and technical requirements. P2P.org has stated that it supports more than $10 billion in staked assets under management, positioning the firm among larger specialized staking providers.
Role at P2P.org
As VP of Institutions, Parshakov is associated with three core responsibilities: building strategic partnerships, expanding institutional adoption, and translating market needs into product direction. Institutional staking often demands predictable operations, transparent performance metrics, and robust incident response processes, as downtime and slashing risks can affect outcomes. Leadership roles on this side of the business commonly involve coordinating with protocol teams, infrastructure operators, and internal engineering to ensure services meet reliability and security expectations.
- Strategic partnerships and institutional onboarding for staking programs.
- Product input for staking integrations, including API-based access.
- Market education on staking mechanics, validator operations, and emerging protocol features.
Institutional Staking Products and Infrastructure Themes
Parshakov is linked with advancing staking product lines that emphasize integration and multi-network coverage. This includes multichain staking APIs designed to make staking accessible through programmatic interfaces, a common requirement for institutions that operate multiple strategies or support multiple assets. He has also referenced work on “next-generation gas market solutions,” a broad category that can include fee optimization, transaction inclusion mechanisms, and operational tooling that supports predictable execution in congested environments.
His public focus also includes decentralization challenges, specifically concerns about builder centralization and how transaction ordering and block construction may concentrate influence. These topics are often discussed in the context of network health and censorship resistance, particularly in ecosystems where block production involves specialized actors and highly competitive infrastructure.
Speaking Engagements and Topics
Parshakov has been presented as a recurring speaker at industry events such as Devcon, ETHDenver, Staking Summit, and Paris Blockchain Week. His coverage areas typically span staking market structure, institutional participation, and protocol-level trends that affect validator economics and user experience. He has also discussed preconfirmations, an emerging set of mechanisms intended to provide faster assurances about transaction inclusion, and broader scalability themes across proof-of-stake networks.
Relevance to the Crypto Ecosystem
Institutional staking has become an important part of the post-merge landscape for Ethereum and other proof-of-stake networks, influencing validator diversity, liquidity patterns, and the distribution of staking power. Executives focused on institutional adoption can shape how capital enters staking markets, which in turn can impact network decentralization and the competitive dynamics among staking providers and intermediaries.
Risks and Considerations
Staking services, including non-custodial models, carry operational and protocol risks. Slashing, downtime, smart contract risks in staking wrappers, and concentration among large validators can affect both returns and network resilience. Institutional participation may also raise regulatory and compliance questions depending on jurisdiction, product structure, and custody arrangements. Market participants assessing staking providers typically consider technical track record, transparency, security posture, and alignment with decentralization objectives.
