Solo Staking & RPC nodes for Ethereum and other blockchains
Launchnodes provides an Always ON Prysmatic or Teku Validator Node for Ethereum staking on mainnet or testnets
A pre-synced Beacon node (using the Teku or Prysmatic client), with the Geth Client for Ethereum that allows you to connect to the beacon chain quickly and connect to Validator nodes. Beacon nodes can take 4-5 days to synchronise. Geth nodes can take 1 or 2 days.
Launchnodes’ Concierge Service provides end-to-end set up for an Ethereum validator node. This is ideal if you want to Solo Stake and have at least 32 Ethereum or multiples of 32 Ethereum in a Metamask wallet, or a wallet compatible with depositing ETH through the ETH launchpad.
The validator nodes can connect to a Launchnodes Beacon node or your own Beacon nodes. You can use this service to build your own customised staking architecture as a solo Ethereum stakers. On AWS or your own infrastructure.
Launchnodes provides a pre-synced Geth Node on AWS for staking ETH, native RPC nodes and other Layer 2 solutions. For the purposes of ETH staking Geth is an execution layer client.
A pre-synced Geth node is useful for any business or person staking ETH and can be used by all consensus layer clients. These consensus layer clients can run on public cloud or private data centre infrastructure. Making it easier and cheaper to stake ETH
All ETH Layer 2 solutions also require an Ethereum Geth node. This easy to run Geth node is pre-synced and can be deployed on public cloud or bare metal. By making Geth easy Launchnodes supports building in the Layer 2 eco-system.
Launchnodes provides corporate clients and governments with technical and product assessments of how they can build staking services or Use Launchnodes white label solutions. Our assessments last 3-6 weeks and deliver the following business outcomes:
Learn about our implementation work with UNICEF to see Launchnodes Product Consultancy in action.
We provide customers with white labelled nodes that can run on public cloud, our infrastructure or data centre infrastructure owned by you. Create your own independent staking infrastructure with your own nodes in your own AWS, GCP or Azure account, or running on your own infrastructure.
Launchnodes offers all the staking building blocks to allow any level of customisation for ETH staking and for alternative blockchains. Use our white labelled staking options to focus on your customer propositions and internal investment strategy. Launchnodes’ tools and professional services make it cheaper and faster to implement.

We never take custody of your Ethereum or your, mnemonics or keys You never need to share your keys, passwords or seedphrases with Launchnodes or anybody else.
Reduce the time to sync an Ethereum Beacon node from days to hours using Launchnodes Pre-synced Beacon and Geth nodes.
Run 1 or 1000 Ethereum Validator nodes, securely and optimally configured to maximise your returns and minimise the risk of staking on your own infrastructure.
Ethereum RPC nodes that you own, providing data your business can trust for building dApps and mission critical blockchain data. When third party APIs and endpoints are just not good enough.
For businesses that want to solo stake but don't know how, we can help. With us, you can run your own nodes on your own infrastructure. We can also provide white label Solo Staking for your customers.

ETH Ownership
“Not your keys, not your Ether.” We don’t ever take ownership of your ETH, you stay in control of your keys and your ETH at all times.
|
Non-custodial, Decentralised. As a Solo Staker you keep and manage your ETH and keys |
Custodial: your ETH is blended with other people’s ETH, as part of a staking pool. You don’t have direct access to your wallet keys and ETH |
Centralised: а staking server is set up for you on a virtual server |
Centralised: typically you trade your ETH for a synthetic token issued by the provider, your ETH is pooled with other stakers’ funds, and your returns are in the synthetic token |

Location of nodes
If you plan to have several nodes, the option of distributing these geographically can be helpful. You can also ensure that your nodes are in the best location from a regulatory and risk perspective.

Security
Infrastructure Setting up an ETH 2.0 Validator node involves trusting a server, and a network, with over $100,000 of digital assets. Confidence that the network and servers are secure, is absolutely crucial. With Launchnodes services deployed in your own AWS environment, you have complete ownership and transparency.

Architectural Choice
With some providers, there is a ‘one size fits all’ approach, with few options to customize or streamline your configuration to maximise uptime, security and rewards. Making sure that your provider is happy to share details of their technical environment and staking infrastructure – and can provide options to suit your needs, is key.

Provider of Beacon
Nodes Very few providers offer Ethereum Beacon nodes as a service. Beacon nodes are a core component in staking Ethereum, and providers who offer and optimise dedicated Beacon nodes for their clients can offer higher levels of service and security.

Infrastructure
Uptime Missing opportunities to stake due to technical problems, and slashing events due to poor configuration or setup issues are the primary causes of reduced ETH rewards in staking. Look for the highest levels of uptime and robustness in a provider.
