White Label Ethereum Validator

Blockdaemon lets anyone run their own validator node and private label it with their own brand. Our white-label validator nodes are non-custodial (you keep your keys private), fully maintained/monitored, run at 99.9% uptime and have manual-failover built in, eliminating double-signing. Your validator is secure with us. We have over 55K nodes geographically dispersed in production across 10 providers and four layers of risk mitigation including slashing insurance.

Staking API

Blockdaemon’s Staking API enables clients to use a standardized and trusted API to automate staking transaction signing, and enables easy and scalable staking, even on Ethereum. To complement the Staking API, Blockdaemon also offers a Staking Reporting API. This API is on-hand to serve your financial data analysis needs. The Staking Reporting API removes many of the hassles you face in accessing staking information from multiple protocols.

Liquid Staking

Our Liquid Staking product is the world’s first KYC-compliant, institutional liquid staking solution, built for Ethereum. Financial institutions now have easy-access to liquidity, while staking funds on the world’s largest proof-of-stake blockchain.

Staking Tools

Our Staking Dashboard gives you a high-level overview of your staking activity, which includes your rewards earned, account address, principal, and reward amounts converted to USD. A deeper analysis with the Staking Report contains validator address, principal staked, crypto token, reward amount, time period, and ending validator balance.

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)

MEV is the maximum value that a validator can extract from block production. It provides rewards over and above the standard block reward and gas fees. We enabled MEV-boost right after The Merge and continuously work to mature the markets in Ethereum, Cosmos and other ecosystems. As a founding member of Flashbots ETH2 Working Group, Blockdaemon is working to ensure a democratized ETH MEV solution.
