Investment thesis
Blockdaemon holds that blockchain infrastructure should be as reliable as traditional financial systems. Founded in 2017 after its CEO experienced firsthand the complexity of running Ethereum nodes, the company builds institutional-grade infrastructure for deploying, securing, and scaling blockchain applications. It offers staking, validator nodes, APIs, and wallet management across more than 60 protocols, emphasizing high uptime, zero-slashing reliability, and full slashing-risk coverage. Blockdaemon differentiates through certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and OFAC compliance, non-custodial products, audited financials, 24/7 monitoring, mission-critical failovers, and a global network of decentralized data centers, positioning itself as a complete institutional Web3 services solution.
