Ethereum Beacon Node (Prysmatic Client)

Ethereum Beacon Chain Nodes (Teku & Prysmatic)

Use Launchnodes container-based, ‘always ON’
Prysmatic Beacon Node to connect
to the Ethereum Beacon Chain.

Beacon Chain Node

A Pre-synced Beacon node, with the Geth Client for Ethereum allows you to connect to the beacon chain quickly and connect Validator nodes – or run your own Ethereum RPC Node on infrastructure you own either on public cloud or bare metal.

High speed with Pre-synced Nodes

Beacon nodes can take 4-5 days to synchronise; Geth nodes can take 1-2 days. By using Launchnodes, your Geth and Beacon node is synchronised within 3-5 hours, allowing you to start collecting data and staking returns faster.

Client Diversity & resilience

Choose the Teku or Prysmatic software for your own RPC nodes. These Beacon chain nodes can support Prysmatic and Teku Validator nodes respectively. This pre-synced Beacon node is an effective way to provide backup staking infrastructure for those Solo Staking at scale and hyper-scale. Allowing uninterrupted connection to the Beacon chain.

These nodes run in your own infrastructure. Launchnodes never have access to your infrastructure, mnemonics, keys, passwords or assets.

Solo Staking removes third party dependencies

Third party APIs are not suitable for staking or extracting critical data from the Ethereum blockchain, for dApps or business critical activity.

To have a fully isolated staking architecture and infrastructure you need the execution layer client and Beacon Chain nodes that you own and run. Without using third party API’s or infrastructure, Launchnodes makes this easier through a Pre-synced Beacon Chain node in combination with Pre-synced Geth.

This approach also decentralises Ethereum and makes the network stronger.

Staking and the Beacon Chain

Launchnodes Pre-synced Beacon Nodes are ideal for those wanting to Solo Stake Ethereum.

The Beacon Chain coordinates the network and enables Ethereum to be Proof of Stake blockchain. Launchnodes provides an always ON and updated Prysmatic or Teku client to run Beacon nodes that can connect to validator nodes to start earning staking rewards. For advanced users and engineering teams, Launchnodes Pre-synced Beacon nodes can be used as a quick and effective backup and disaster recovery solution.

Data and RPC Nodes

When performing mission critical or financially significant activity on the Ethereum blockchain, having your own RPC nodes ensures you can trust the data. Third party APIs are powerful tools making development at scale easy, but Blockchain-building requires data you can trust, where you own the source, and this is what RPC nodes provide.

Providers like Infura and Alchemy, who provide extensive and excellent APIs, don’t want only their APIs to be used, to avoid centralisation but also the liability of their APIs providing slow or bad data that impacts financial or business outcomes for clients. Running your own RPC nodes stops this happening, giving you and your dApps data you can trust.

Introduction to Beacon Nodes

We were looking for a team to support our large ETH2 nodes farm. We had nothing but great success with Launchnodes! A+++ all the way. Zero complains!

I used launchnodes concierge service in combination with an annual subscription for a validator node, so i got set up in my own AWS with Launchnodes team supporting me set up my node via a screenshare. It took 30 minutes and i am part of genesis on the 1st Dec.

As pure financial investors these guys have made it really easy to stake and almost trained us up. We use this product and got their concierge service its brilliant.

I used their concierge service, I am not technical Launchnodes walked me through the set up. Well worth it otherwise I would not have had a clue. Using their product on AWS means l I dont have to worry about my node going down.

I launched validator nodes with this product, as someone comfortable setting up clusters this makes running multiple nodes really easy. Also it is great that I own and manage the node completely and running on AWS means the main risk of getting slashed is reduced.

Lets you scale the number of nodes really easily especially if you are already using AWS extensively for technical and non-technical users.

This product allows me to easily manage large numbers of nodes, they also use the most popular validator and beacon node client from Prysmatic. Their instructions are clear and support prompt and capable.

Ok so if you know how to use AWS this will be pretty straight forward. The only bit you will find a little tricky is creating the wallet them moving the key into the wallet bit. If you do just reach out to the support team they were very helpful and Yash helped me fix an issue in like 5 min then after that my validator node worked like clockwork easily. Also if you don't know how to use the concierge service well worth it, they know what they are doing. The only bits the notes had missing for me was the unzip cmd did not work easily fixed with sudo yum unzip. Secondly last bit of updating pass.txt, it said I did not have permission so the cmd was sudo nano pass.txt and this allowed me to update the pass and off we went. Yash said they would update the notes in the documentation to reflect this anyway. Fab service and well worth setting up in the cloud.

The concierge service was great for me. I knew I wanted to run a node but without the technical knowledge this non-custodial service allowed me to stake my Ethereum and not hand my ETH over to a 3rd party. Overall the attentive customer support meant that from the moment I contacted them through AWS they walked me through all the software tech stuff, and were with me every step of the way. They always kept me updated at each step as to what was going on, and what they were doing on my behalf. I felt thoroughly taken care of - I highly recommend launchnodes.

I haven't used a Windows command prompt in many years & never used Amazon's AWS service. Now after a month, I am somewhat comfortable with AWS, Linux, Docker, and ssh, etc., which is mainly due to following the product usage instructions and my own research. However, it also meant that I needed much tech support. Launchnodes also recommended that I subscribe to a Validator node (less expensive) instead of a full Beacon node if I were to run only one node (32 Ethereums). I consider that an ethical suggestion by not pushing a more expensive product on me. At this time, my node is active and earning me some money. I had problems in my configuration, in particular importing the Mainnet wallet keys from a zip file. I believe Launchnodes should add enabling Zip and Nano utilities to their documentations to help a novice like me. It took some time for the Launchnodes tech support to help me out, but once they did, it was a breeze. They are truly experts at it with a lot of patience. The tech support rep updated my configurations and ensured that my node was running faultlessly. Launchnodes' Validator node was the best product for me to use to participate in Ethereum stacking, in my opinion.
