Crypto validator hosting with bare metal

You need fast NVMe storage, high clock-speed processors, and enough RAM to keep up with the chain without the noisy neighbor problems that come with shared environments.

Learn what it takes to run a reliable Solana validator node.

Crypto validation with predictable rewards

Running a validator node is a commitment to the network. Your infrastructure shouldn't be the reason you miss an epoch or face slashing.

No surprise bills, just uptime

You get dedicated resources—CPU, RAM, and bandwidth—so you can forecast your operational expenses (OpEx) as accurately as you forecast your staking rewards.

Prevent slashing penalties

When your node goes offline, you lose money. We architect for redundancy at every level—power, cooling, and network—to ensure your validator signs every block it's assigned.

Ultra-low latency network

Whether you are running an MEV-boost relay or simply keeping up with a high-throughput chain like Solana, our sub-millisecond internal network and massive uplink capacity ensure you stay in sync.

Raw compute power

Shared vCPUs on standard cloud instances often choke under heavy load during network congestion. Our bare metal servers give you access to high-frequency processors that chew through transaction verification without stealing cycles from your neighbors.

Speed is security in consensus

In Proof of Stake (PoS) networks, latency isn't just a nuisance; it's a risk factor. If your validator is too slow to propagate votes, you miss attestations.

Hardware that fits your protocol

Different chains have different appetites.

Bare Metal

Mainnet VALIDATORs

RPC Nodes

IDEAL FOR

High-performance validators (Solana, Sui, Aptos). Get direct access to hardware with no virtualization overhead.

Colocation

Institutional Staking

Custodians

IDEAL FOR

Already own your hardware? Secure it in our data centers with redundant power and connectivity. You keep full control; we provide the environment.

Never face a challenge alone

Blockchains don't sleep, and neither do we. When a hard fork goes wrong at 3 AM or a client update causes a memory leak, you need immediate help from someone who understands the stakes.

Proactive monitoring

We monitor network health and hardware integrity 24/7. If a drive shows signs of failure or a PSU drops, we're replacing it before it impacts your node's performance.

Human expertise

We act as an extension of your DevOps team, ensuring your infrastructure remains robust so you can focus on protocol updates and governance.

Enterprise-grade security

Validators are high-value targets. We protect your keys and your uptime with multi-layered security, including DDoS protection that scrubs malicious traffic before it hits your node.

Crypto validator hosting FAQs

What hardware do you recommend for an Ethereum validator?

For Ethereum post-merge, we recommend high-speed NVMe storage (2TB+) to handle state growth and fast multi-core processors to manage execution and consensus clients simultaneously. Our dedicated servers are pre-configured to exceed these requirements.

How do you handle DDoS attacks on validators?

We offer automated DDoS mitigation that detects and filters malicious traffic instantly. For validator setups, we also recommend a sentry node architecture, where public-facing nodes shield your signing validator from direct exposure.

Do you have access to my validator keys?

No. We provide the bare metal or cloud infrastructure. You retain absolute control over your OS, software stack, and private keys. We secure the building and the network; you secure the crypto.

Can I run multiple nodes on one server?

Yes. With our bare metal servers, you have significant resources. Many clients use virtualization (like Proxmox) or containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) to run multiple validators or a mix of beacon nodes and execution clients on a single robust machine.

Do you offer managed validator services or only infrastructure?

Hivelocity is an infrastructure provider, not a managed staking or “validator-as-a-service” platform. We operate and support the servers, network, and data centers. you operate the validator clients, key management, and on-chain strategy.

How does your infrastructure help reduce downtime and slashing risk?

Most downtime and slashing risk comes from weak infrastructure, misconfiguration, or long outages. Our role is to remove the infra side of that risk with high-uptime bare metal, redundant power and network, low-latency locations, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support. You still control validator configuration and failover design, but the platform is engineered not to be the bottleneck.
