faq

What is Validator‑as‑a‑Service (VaaS)?

+

Validator‑as‑a‑Service (VaaS) is an institutional-grade offering where a professional operator sets up, runs, and maintains blockchain validator nodes on behalf of a client for a fee. The service relieves clients of the technical complexity and infrastructure requirements of validator operations, while allowing them to participate securely in staking, governance, and consensus processes. Institutions retain ownership of their staked assets, while the provider handles the infrastructure, monitoring, uptime, and security responsibilities.

Who typically uses VaaS?

+

VaaS is particularly valuable for institutional actors such as asset managers, market makers, custodial providers, crypto-native firms, and even high-net-worth individuals. In many cases, these entities wish to take advantage of staking rewards and network governance roles without investing in the necessary technical infrastructure or teams.

How does VaaS work?

+

Clients typically begin by selecting a proof-of-stake (PoS) network and supplying the required stake, sometimes via a custodial integration or directly from their wallet. The provider then configures and deploys validator nodes using enterprise-grade infrastructure, often across cloud or on-premise environments. Once online, these nodes actively participate in consensus and earn rewards, which are either transferred to the client or distributed via specified commission structures. The provider ensures continuous uptime, security monitoring, performance analytics, and slashing protection throughout the process.

What assets or keys does the client retain control over?

+

VaaS offerings vary in custody structure. Custodial models often used by exchanges or integrated platforms take custody of both assets and validator management, managing staking and reward collection on the client's behalf. The self-custodial model used by Everstake allows clients to maintain full control over private keys while the provider manages the node infrastructure.

What are the benefits of using VaaS?

+

Institutions gain access to reliable, enterprise-grade validator infrastructure with guaranteed uptime and performance backed by service-level agreements. They avoid the operational risk, costs, and technical challenges associated with deploying and maintaining validator nodes themselves. High-class providers like Everstake often offer multi-region or cloud-agnostic deployments, real-time monitoring, and integrations with custody solutions like BitGo. VaaS also reduces the barrier to entry for staking across multiple blockchains, allowing institutions to onboard, scale, and manage participation in different protocols quickly and efficiently.

Are there risks or downsides associated with VaaS?

+

Using VaaS introduces dependencies on the provider's operational reliability and security. Any downtime or failure to appropriately handle slashing risks could impact a client's rewards or stake. While some services offer slashing insurance or uptime SLAs, clients must evaluate these protections carefully. Custodial models also introduce counterparty risk, as clients surrender control over their keys. In the self-custodial model, clients are required to manage key security independently.

How long does it take to deploy a validator with VaaS?

+

Deployment timelines vary by provider, but many enterprise-level services can launch a dedicated validator node within hours or days after onboarding.

How are rewards and fees handled?

+

Typically, the validator operator collects staking rewards and distributes them to clients, often via automated systems. Clients may receive rewards minus the provider's operating fees or commission. Everstake also offers real-time dashboards showing performance metrics, reward accrual, and fee breakdowns to provide transparency into revenue and costs.

Is VaaS flexible across multiple blockchain protocols?

+

Yes. Everstake supports validator operations across numerous PoS networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, Cosmos, and more. This way, clients can easily expand their staking strategy across protocols without requiring new infrastructure each time.

What technical and security standards should clients look for?

+

Clients should seek providers offering strong SLAs, high uptime guarantees (e.g., 99.9%), battle-tested security practices, slashing coverage, and compatibility with reputable custody solutions. Transparent performance reporting and multi-region deployment capabilities are strong indicators of a mature service.
