Introduction

Since 2018, InfStones has assisted thousands of users in launching blockchain nodes across 80+ networks globally. Our mission has always been to ease blockchain participation, a goal we've consistently met with excellence.In this article, we'll explore our leadership in blockchain node sales, our innovative approaches to simplifying participation, and our initiatives to make blockchain technology more inclusive and accessible.

What are Blockchain Nodes?

Blockchain nodes are essential components of any blockchain network. They validate transactions, maintain copies of the blockchain ledger, and ensure the network's security and stability. Nodes are crucial for the decentralized nature of blockchain in that they allow multiple participants to verify and record transactions independently.

Furthermore, there are several types of blockchain nodes, including full nodes, light nodes, master nodes, and validator nodes. Each serves a specific purpose within the network. However, validator nodes have become particularly prominent among these, especially in networks using Proof of Stake (PoS) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanisms.

Validator Nodes: The leading standard

Validator nodes validate new blocks and ensure the network's consensus mechanism operates correctly. They have gained prominence due to several key advantages:

• Energy Efficiency: Validator nodes in PoS networks are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to Proof of Work (PoW) nodes, which require significant computational power.
• Security and Decentralization: Validator nodes enhance the network's security, as they require validators to stake their tokens, thereby reducing the likelihood of malicious behavior.
• Scalability: Validator nodes enable more scalable blockchain solutions, as they can process more transactions per second than PoW nodes.

For example, to participate in the Ethereum 2.0 network, you must run a validator node, which involves staking some of your ETH tokens as collateral to ensure good behavior. The validator node proposes and attests to new blocks on the Ethereum blockchain and earns rewards added to the staked amount.

However, while validator nodes and PoS/DPoS mechanisms address PoW's energy use and scalability issues, running a validator node remains technical and challenging. It requires configuring hardware and software, maintaining constant uptime, and staying updated with network changes and security protocols.

How InfStones is Making Blockchain Participation Inclusive

Users demand simpler, more efficient participation methods as the industry shifts towards PoS and DPoS methods. InfStones recognizes these challenges and is committed to making blockchain participation more inclusive.

Here's how we're achieving this:

• User-Friendly Node Management: We offer a platform that simplifies node setup and management. Users can deploy validator nodes with just a few clicks, bypassing the need for deep technical expertise.
• Flexible Node Usage: InfStones allows users to deploy nodes as validators or dedicated API endpoints, offering flexibility to meet various operational needs.
• Enhanced Security Measures: Security is at the forefront of our services. We implement advanced security protocols to safeguard nodes and staked assets, including regular updates and continuous monitoring to prevent vulnerabilities and attacks.
• Strategic Collaborations: We continually collaborate with major blockchain networks to provide reliable and robust node services tailored to different network requirements. These partnerships allow us to offer specialized solutions that meet the unique needs of various blockchain ecosystems.

Our approach ensures that blockchain technology is within reach for a diverse range of participants.

Impact

• License Delegation: As of this writing, users have delegated over 27000 licenses to InfStones.
• Cost Efficiency: Users saved up to 50% on node deployment costs.
• High Uptime: Achieved an impressive 99.99% uptime, ensuring continuous network participation and rewards maximization.Referral Rewards: Increased user engagement through attractive referral bonuses.
  

CARV Checker Nodes

InfStones also collaborated with CARV to help users create and manage their own CARV alphanet node, set custom commission fees and attract delegations from others. Users can also delegate to InfStones' CARV verifier node, offering multiple avenues for participation and rewards.

Impact

• License Delegation: More than 5000 CARV licenses (and counting) has been delegated to InfStones on CARV Alphanet.
• Cost Efficiency: Users saved up to 50% on node deployment costs.
• Revenue Potential: Users were able to increase their earnings by setting competitive commission fees on multiple nodes.
• Referral Rewards: Increased user engagement through attractive referral bonuses.

Node Sale DApp — DIN and Lumoz

We are further revolutionizing user-blockchain-node interaction with our recent Node Sale dApp, designed to make participating in node sale projects intuitive and welcoming, even for users without prior blockchain or Web3 experience.

We've already kicked things off by onboarding DIN and Lumoz, from which we've received incredible feedback. Without a doubt, we will be onboarding even more promising projects in the future.
