Bitget and Chorus One broaden access to Monad staking in emerging markets.

Chorus One has partnered with cryptocurrency platform Bitget to extend global access to Monad staking. This collaboration follows Monad’s mainnet launch in November 2025, aiming to simplify user interactions with the network and enhance participation in the burgeoning staking economy.

Expanding Validator Support

The Monad network operates as a layer-one blockchain focused on high throughput. It supports Ethereum contracts without requiring code modifications, according to its technical documentation. The integration between Bitget and Chorus One aims to foster a validator environment that thrives on decentralization, geographic diversity, and long-term stability.

Chorus One currently secures assets across more than 30 blockchains, reporting a total of over $3.5 billion in staked assets. The platform is also ISO 27001 certified, a standard that assesses security practices, positioning this partnership within a broader industry trend where compliant staking providers become essential components of blockchain infrastructure.

User Access and Market Expansion

Monad enables users to stake assets in approximately 5.5 hours. Chorus One’s staking model supports flexible terms, allowing both institutional and individual users on Bitget to stake or un-stake Monad tokens based on their preferences. This partnership creates a direct pathway for Bitget users to engage with the Monad ecosystem.

In just the first week of the staking program, Chorus One reported over $6 million in assets staked on the network. This rapid participation underscores interest in Monad’s performance-driven design and its integration with a significant trading ecosystem, reflecting a wider demand for accessible staking opportunities globally.

Bitget operates across various regions, including the Asia-Pacific and Africa markets. The platform’s presence in these areas broadens the staking program’s reach, particularly in regions experiencing a surge in demand for digital assets. Chorus One has already collaborated with the Avalanche Foundation to boost validator infrastructure throughout Africa, positioning the company to replicate similar regional development for the Monad network.

Both companies stated that the partnership aims to support cryptocurrency adoption in emerging markets by providing tools that lower entry barriers and enhance access to blockchain-based services. As new networks like Monad expand, staking options become a means for users in developing regions to engage in blockchain activities without the need for complex technical setups or advanced hardware.
