Welcome to the November edition of the Blockdaemon Bulletin.
Blockdaemon now supports Arc’s Public Testnet as an institutional-grade infrastructure provider. Our integration delivers reliable RPC access for developers and enterprises to test smart contracts, stablecoin-based gas, and real transaction flows before mainnet. Arc is built by Circle as the Economic OS for the internet, designed for real-world financial activity onchain.
We’ve partnered with Midnight to expand institutional access to privacy preserving blockchain infrastructure. This collaboration allows enterprises to build compliant, confidential applications using Blockdaemon’s trusted node, validator and API stack. Find Out More.
Blockdaemon now provides full institutional support for Monad, a high-performance Layer 1 built for scalable, EVM-compatible applications. This includes secure validator operations, high-performance RPC connectivity, and upcoming MPC wallet support as the network moves toward mainnet. Institutions can begin testing on Monad today through Blockdaemon’s unified infrastructure stack, with full mainnet availability at launch. Learn More.
This guide breaks down Canton’s network architecture, consensus model, leading use cases, and the infrastructure required to build privacy-enabled applications at scale. It is an essential resource for teams evaluating how Canton fits into their long-term strategy. Explore the Deep Dive.
This guide explains Monad’s consensus design, execution model, staking economics, and the infrastructure institutions need to build confidently on the network. It is a useful resource for teams evaluating participation ahead of mainnet. Read the Deep Dive.
Ethereum staking rewards improved in October amid a surge in MEV activity, and Blockdaemon’s validators continued to outperform. We delivered a 3.13% Protocol Reward Rate (PRR) versus the 2.90% CESR, a 23-basis-point premium, extending a 12-month streak of above-average performance.
Network-wide Solana rewards dipped slightly in October, but Blockdaemon’s validator continued to lead. We posted a 6.65% PRR versus the 6.63% network average, delivering above-network results.
Blockdaemon has added full Canton Coin (CC) support to the Institutional Vault™, enabling institutions to manage CC with secure, on-prem MPC wallet infrastructure certified by the Canton Foundation. With this update, teams can receive, store, and transfer CC while maintaining full operational independence and compliance oversight. Further information is available in a recent blog.
