Overview
Staking allows asset holders to participate in securing Proof-of-Stake blockchains while earning protocol-level rewards. Validators are responsible for proposing and validating blocks, playing a critical role in maintaining network security and integrity.
Operating validator infrastructure requires robust security, high availability, precise execution, and continuous monitoring. Operational failures or misconfigurations can result in slashing penalties or exclusion from networks.
Luganodes delivers institutional-grade validator infrastructure that removes the operational and technical complexity of staking. Through secure, compliant, and performance-driven systems, institutions and advanced participants can stake assets across leading Proof-of-Stake networks, earning rewards on token holdings while maintaining security and operational integrity.
Staking Model & Mechanics
Luganodes ensures a transparent staking model with clarity around custody of funds, availability, and reward accrual.
99.9% Uptime
Validator availability is designed to meet protocol requirements and support continuous network participation.
Non-custodial
Assets remain fully non-custodial, with no transfer of ownership during staking.
On-Chain Asset Control
Delegation, withdrawal, and reward flows remain transparently managed on-chain by the asset owner.
Reward Accrual
Rewards accrue on-chain and are credited to the asset owner according to protocol-defined mechanisms.
FAQs
Staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrency to support the operations of a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain network. In return, stakers earn rewards — typically paid in the network's native token. Unlike Proof-of-Work (mining), staking does not require energy-intensive hardware. Instead, validators are chosen to produce blocks based on the amount of stake delegated to them. When you stake with a validator like Luganodes, your capital acts as accountability collateral economically aligning your incentives with the validator's to support the network honestly and reliably.

Luganodes is fully non-custodial. Your assets never leave your wallet or custody solution.
No. Luganodes has maintained a zero slashing history across all networks and through volatile market cycles, including 2024–2025. This is supported by bare-metal deployments in Tier IV data centers, automated failover architecture, global geographic distribution, and 24/7 SRE monitoring — resulting in 99.9%+ uptime across all networks.
Slashing is a penalty mechanism in Proof-of-Stake networks. If a validator behaves dishonestly (e.g., double-signing) or experiences critical infrastructure failures, a portion of all staked assets including delegators' funds is permanently destroyed.
You avoid slashing risk by choosing validators with a proven operational track record. Luganodes has never been slashed across any network or market cycle. Its infrastructure uses automated failover, Tier IV bare-metal servers, and has been independently assessed for slashing risk by Quantstamp. It also carries institutional insurance through Chainproof as an additional protection layer.
| Criteria | What to Ask |
|---|---|
| Slashing history | Has the validator ever been slashed? |
| Uptime | What is their historical uptime across networks? |
| Custody model | Do they hold your keys, or do you? |
| Certifications | Do they hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent? |
| Insurance | Is there coverage if something goes wrong? |
| Network positions | Are they a top validator, or a marginal one? |
| Support | Do they offer dedicated institutional support? |
| Integration | Can they connect to your existing systems via API? |
Luganodes meets all of the above criteria.
