DeFi FIL staking projects use smart contracts on the Filecoin Virtual Machine to better connect token holders with SPs. Here are projects live on FVM or releasing solutions soon.
The FVM is new, so some projects are still under development. Launch and audit timelines vary. All information comes from public sites.

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.
Here are centralized FIL Collateral Programs that are currently available.
