The FVM is new, so some projects are still under development. Launch and audit timelines vary. All information comes from public sites.

Multi-Sig FIL Staking and Leasing
Multi-Sig is short for the term ‘multi-signature’ meaning that a transaction requires 2+ signatures to execute. These solutions do not use smart contracts, relying on human influence instead. Some services offer both multi-sig and DeFi staking, with some DeFi services starting with multi-sig before transitioning to DeFi.
There are various risk vectors associated with multi-sig staking projects that are different from DeFi staking projects. For example, users must place a certain level of trust in the provider facilitating the staking, rather than trusting the smart contracts a provider may employ.
Users should be cautious and conduct adequate research to learn more about the differences.
