Fireblocks Connects RAW Signing to Cardano via Iagon

TLDR

• Fireblocks has integrated its RAW signing technology with Iagon’s enterprise Cardano nodes and Insights API for institutional access to ADA.
• The integration allows approved clients to create and sign custom ADA and Cardano Native Token transactions within Fireblocks’ MPC framework.
• Institutions can now delegate ADA to stake pools and participate in Cardano governance directly through the Fireblocks platform.
• Fireblocks Trust, regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, provides qualified custody for supported clients.
• Iagon secured a $1.5 million ADA-denominated loan backed by 54 million IAG tokens to fund infrastructure development.

Fireblocks has connected its RAW signing system with Iagon’s enterprise Cardano nodes and Insights API for approved clients. The integration allows institutions to create and sign custom ADA and Cardano Native Token transactions within Fireblocks’ MPC framework. The update expands existing ADA custody support to include staking, governance, and token management inside a single regulated workflow.

Fireblocks Expands Institutional ADA Capabilities

Fireblocks enables institutions to construct custom transactions through RAW signing while securing private keys within its MPC structure. Instead of using preset templates, clients can define transaction parameters directly and execute them through the custody platform. As a result, firms gain operational flexibility while keeping assets secured inside Fireblocks’ infrastructure.

Fireblocks has supported ADA custody and transfers since August 2021, and this upgrade adds staking and governance functions. Clients can now delegate ADA to stake pools and vote on Cardano governance proposals without leaving the platform. Fireblocks Trust, regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, oversees qualified custody operations and states it combines self-custody with “zero counterparty risk.”

The integration links Fireblocks’ custody stack with Iagon’s Cardano-specific node infrastructure and Insights API. Therefore, institutions can interact with ADA and Cardano Native Tokens through a direct institutional pipeline. The companies said the system provides a fully operational method for approved customers to access the Cardano network.

Lagon Supports Node Infrastructure and ADA-Backed Loan

Iagon supplies enterprise-grade Cardano nodes and API services that power the integration with Fireblocks. The company focuses on decentralized storage solutions driven by AI-based resource sharing. However, its enterprise infrastructure services secured the partnership tied to institutional ADA access.

In March 2026, Iagon secured a $1.5 million loan denominated in ADA to fund ecosystem infrastructure development. The company used 54 million IAG tokens as collateral to back the loan agreement. This structure links IAG token valuation directly to the collateral position supporting the ADA loan.

Iagon’s CEO disclosed abstaining from certain governance votes connected to the integration due to conflicts of interest. Community discussions have referenced concerns about institutional participation and decentralization. Cardano continues operating under its delegated proof-of-stake model, which allows token holders to earn rewards without running validator hardware.

The new workflow enables institutions to delegate ADA directly through Fireblocks instead of using separate staking tools. It also allows governance participation as Cardano advances further into its Voltaire era. The integration remains available to approved Fireblocks customers as of the latest company update.
