Founding story

According to the company, Blockdaemon originated from CEO and founder Konstantin Richter's experience of the complexity of running Ethereum nodes in 2017, and the absence of adequate infrastructure and tooling to support blockchain deployment, which led to building a managed infrastructure platform.

Business model

Blockdaemon sells managed blockchain infrastructure and digital asset services to institutions, including node deployment and management, API and data access, staking and validator operations, MPC wallet/key management, and tokenization and stablecoin infrastructure, with customizable and on-premise deployment options and enterprise SLAs.

Traction

Company-reported figures include $110B+ in assets secured, $10B+ staked on Blockdaemon validators, 400+ institutional customers, 60-80+ protocols supported, 250,000+ nodes launched, 800+ REST and RPC endpoints, 100 billion+ on-chain requests processed, and 70+ global points of presence. At the time of its Series B the company reported a 70x increase in valuation, a 20x increase in revenue, and a 5x increase in headcount over the prior year, with 10,000+ ETH 2.0 validators launched in six months and an average of more than $10B in staked assets across 40+ protocols.

Latest developments

In May 2025 Blockdaemon acquired expand.network, and in June 2025 it achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. Recent positioning emphasizes an institutional digital asset platform covering tokenization, stablecoin mint/burn and settlement rails, MPC wallets with a policy engine and on-premise deployment, and DeFi/RWA yield products, with 400+ institutions and $110B+ in assets secured.
