Decentralize Ethereum

Start validating on the Ethereum network for the lowest bond in the industry.

Why run a node with ClayStack

ClayStack greatly reduces the barrier to entry for running validator nodes on Ethereum while maintaining the highest standards of decentralization and security.

  • Permissionless

    Anyone can join the ClayStack protocol as a node operator.

  • Low barrier to entry

    Secure the Ethereum network with the lowest bond in the industry.

  • Earn superior returns

    Optimize your nodes for high performance, and get a chance to earn superior yields.

Algorithmic Node Balancing

The ClayStack Ethereum protocol introduces the algorithmic node balancing system that integrates a tiered node architecture. It helps proportional stake delegation across tiered node operators (such as professional operators, home stakers etc.) based on several factors including operator performance and uptime.

Validator Funding Provider

The Validator Funding Provider (VFP) is a novel protocol that creates a separate route for stakers to earn increasingly higher returns, while taking on slightly more risk. This further aids in decentralizing Ethereum.

Responsibilities

As a node operator for ClayStack, you must ensure optimal performance. The better you perform, the higher you chances of getting superior rewards.

  • Security

    Uphold the highest standards of node security. Integrate with DVT to provide optimal decentralization and censorship-resistance.

  • Uptime

    Run multiple validators and earn superior returns on each.

  • Maintenance

    Perform regular check-ups of your node health to ensure highest performance and uptime.
