Staking Pool as a Service

We will offer a staking pool as a service.

Our devops engineers have 21+ years of experience automating various cloud infrastructure and application deployment flows.

We will create a fully automated and high availability Staking Pool Service. This requires integration (current challenge metric) and deployment of the staking pool with various automation tools.

Service types

"Our keys, our pledge"

1. Customer submits the staking pool application, after choosing between relay count / locations, margin percentage, pledge amount among other parameters.
2. The system automatically creates the pool and makes the initial pledge.
3. Customer promotes the staking pool for delegators.
4. Our wallet receives the rewards, which we settle with the client.
5. Customer has the right to relocate the pool after we remove our pledge.

"Client keys, client pledge"

1. Customer submits the pool application with keys needed to run the block producer.
2. The system automatically creates the staking pool.
3. Customer makes his own pledge and has to re-upload the keys every 90 days.
4. Customer receives the rewards and pays our bills.
5. Customer has the right to relocate the pool any time.

What about wallet private keys?

It is safe for the customers. Our service does not require us to take custody of any customer's keys that allow transfer of funds.

Level of decentralization

We offer multiple geographical locations for the relay nodes. Customers can choose between different locations where we can auto-deploy the relay nodes. With more staking pools deployed, we will add additional relay locations.
