In the fast-paced world of blockchain technology, efficiency and reliability are key. For companies looking to leverage the power of blockchain, Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) providers offer a streamlined way to manage and maintain their nodes.

CARV, a prominent player in the industry, currently endorses several NaaS providers, and this article delves into a comparative analysis of these providers and their user-friendly apps for delegation and node operation, highlighting why InfStones is the optimal choice for your NaaS needs.

NaaS Providers Pricing Comparison

Both InfStones and Easeflow offer flexible payment options, supporting crypto payment as well as credit card transactions. In contrast, other NaaS providers exclusively accept crypto payments. This versatility in payment methods provides users with greater convenience and choice.

When managing CARV nodes, you have two exciting options: delegation or running your own node. Here’s why choosing InfStones can be a game-changer:

Option 1: Delegation

InfStones offers a standout benefit with a 0% commission rate on the Alphanet, and this unbeatable rate will continue on the Mainnet for a while before gradually increasing. This means you get to keep 100% of your rewards while enjoying our top-notch services.

Meanwhile, other NaaS providers may charge up to 5% in commissions, which can add up quickly.
