Case summary
What happened
Ndax announced on 15 February 2022 that its first flexible crypto staking program was available starting that day, initially supporting ETH, DOT and ADA. Current Ndax policy and relationship materials document opt-in staking, experienced third-party validator operators, network/protocol-dependent rewards, bonding and unbonding, redemption options, non-guaranteed rewards, slashing/on-chain risks and administration fees. Ndax's current User Agreement states users receive full rights, interests and title to Virtual Assets purchased on the platform and describes custody arrangements for assets left on-platform. CYA records those express terms without converting staking availability or security claims into a principal or insolvency guarantee.

Not applicable
Not-applicable is not a principal, custody, segregation or solvency guarantee. Staking remains exposed to third-party-validator, protocol, slashing, market, platform/custody and regulatory risks.
- Estimated recovery
- No platform-wide Ndax Staking customer-loss, claims or repayment process was identified in the reviewed first-party sources; current first-party materials present staking as active for Canadian residents.

Asset treatment
Terms risk
Customer-owned
Customer-owned is grounded in express current User Agreement title language and current staking/custody disclosures. Staking-specific validator, protocol, slashing, liquidity, custody and regulatory risks remain. This classification should be reverified if Ndax's governing agreement or custody model changes.
- Affected product
- Ndax Staking
- Confidence
- High
Ndax's current User Agreement states that users receive full rights, interests and title to Virtual Assets purchased on the platform upon completion of purchase and that assets remaining on-platform are held under disclosed custody arrangements. Current staking disclosures describe staking or delegation of users' Crypto Assets through approved third-party validators. CYA records customer-owned treatment for the reviewed on-platform staking assets without treating it as a principal or insolvency guarantee.
Known unknowns
Uncertainty
Current staking operation and 2022 launch are strongly supported. Reward rates, supported assets, bonding/unbonding and fees can change. CYA does not treat custody/security disclosures as a guarantee against protocol, validator, platform or insolvency risk.
