  • Easy to Use – we aim to make ETH staking easy while reducing risk
  • Completely Secure – Zero compromises when it comes to security
    • Security updates for all components of the infrastructure (OS, node, execution, consensus) installed within 24 hours
    • SSH auth restricted to ssh keys, only accessible via VPN, and only via a random high port number
    • REST/WS/RPC APIs restricted to access only via internal endpoints (nothing exposed publicly)
    • At-rest encryption of physical volumes enabled.
  • Our nodes run on 100% DEDICATED, high-end, future-proofed physical hardware in a private secured facility with redundant power, UPS, and tier-1 network connectivity to ensure maximum up-time!
