Why StakingCrypto.io

As I began my journey in crypto pretty late around 2020, I started buying coins with the perspective of holding them during the next 5 years. I was really thrilled when I discovered staking and lending. As a Holder, it felt natural that I used that passive income and first used Kraken to do so, as all my cryptos were there.

After some digging, I realized that they did not provide the best rates on the market AND that some other exchanges were giving crazy rates up to 100%. As often in my life, the need for a not yet existing tool arised and I began to work on it. Few weeks later, first version of StakingCrypto.io, a staking and lending comparator, was alive.

If you're interested, all my journey can be found on Indie Hackers.

That original mission still shapes the platform today, even though its day-to-day operation has changed hands.

Current Operator

T.K. recently took over the day-to-day operation of StakingCrypto.io from its founder, Martin Ratinaud, with a commitment to continue building the platform while preserving its core mission of helping people find the best rates and crypto "staking" opportunities more easily.

T.K. maintains and operates StakingCrypto.io, including its automated platform for tracking more than 1,544 cryptocurrencies across 35 exchanges. A long-time follower of the cryptocurrency industry, he has spent more than a decade studying blockchain technology, cryptocurrency markets/cycles, and investing while gaining firsthand experience with exchanges, wallets, staking, and other yield products. His decade+ long background in IT, systems engineering, software development, and business operations helps shape the technical and business systems behind the platform and the way information is organized and presented.

Since taking over the site, his focus has been on improving the comparison tools, expanding content, increasing transparency, and making crypto staking easier to understand for everyday crypto holders and users. Rather than telling readers what to invest in, StakingCrypto is designed to simplify research through automated data collection, practical educational content, and straightforward comparisons that help users evaluate their options with greater confidence.

While the platform continues to evolve, its mission remains the same.
