RockX
RockX is a Singapore-based Web3 infrastructure company that runs institutional-grade staking, validator, and RPC/node-API services across major proof-of-stake blockchains. Founded in 2019 by veterans of Zilliqa and RockMiner and led by CEO Zhuling Chen, it operates 13,000+ validators and has secured more than US$1.5B in staked assets. RockX is also an early contributor to Bedrock, the multi-asset liquid restaking protocol behind uniETH, uniBTC and the BR token, positioning the company at the center of institutional staking and Bitcoin-based DeFi in Asia.
