Case summary
What happened
Wealthsimple currently offers staking for supported cryptoassets including SOL, ETH, ADA and DOT through approved third-party validators from custodial wallets. Current first-party help, fee and risk materials describe variable and non-guaranteed rewards, staking fees, network-specific warm-up and cool-down periods, validator dependence and slashing risk. Wealthsimple's current Crypto Product Risk Disclosure states that customer cryptoassets are fully-paid assets beneficially owned by customers, held in trust and separated from Wealthsimple's own assets. The reviewed sources do not establish one exact original staking launch date, so CYA leaves launch_date unresolved and does not create a launch event.

Customer-owned

Wealthsimple's current Crypto Product Risk Disclosure states that customer cryptoassets are fully-paid assets beneficially owned by customers, held in trust and separated from Wealthsimple's own assets. CYA records customer-owned treatment for the reviewed staking product while keeping staking, validator, protocol, liquidity and platform risks separate from that ownership treatment.
Known unknowns
Uncertainty
Current staking operation, custody model and beneficial-ownership/trust language are strongly supported by first-party material, but the reviewed sources do not establish one exact original launch date. Supported assets, validators, rewards, fees, timing and legal disclosures can change.
