Professional PoS Validator · Non-Custodial Staking

Keeping watch over eight Proof‑of‑Stake mainnets.

OwlStake runs non-custodial validators on dedicated servers we own, hosted in a professional data center and monitored around the clock. Your tokens never leave your wallet.

The job, in one sentence

A validator makes the same promise every few seconds: sign the right block, stay online, never sign twice. We built OwlStake around keeping it.

Infrastructure

Inside the nest.

Validators sit on our own hardware in a professional data center, hidden behind sentry nodes, with keys held by a remote signer and every machine watched by monitoring that pages a person.

Operations & security

Around the clock.

Reliability isn’t a number on a banner. It’s a set of habits, kept every hour of every day. These are ours.

00:00 UTC

on watch

  1. 00:00 UTC

    Hardware we own

    Our validators run on dedicated servers owned by OwlStake and colocated in a professional data center — not on shared cloud instances. We control the machines, the disks and the upgrade schedule.

    • Dedicated, single-tenant servers
    • Data-center power, cooling and connectivity
    • Spare capacity for fast failover

  2. 05:00 UTC

    Shielded validators

    Validator nodes are kept off the public internet. They talk to the network through sentry nodes and private links, which limits the surface an attacker can reach.

    • Sentry-node architecture where the network supports it
    • Firewalled, allow-listed peering
    • Key-only SSH over private access

  3. 10:00 UTC

    Keys that can’t double-sign

    Signing keys are handled separately from node software, with double-sign protection so that a failover can never produce two conflicting signatures.

    • Remote signing where supported
    • Double-sign protection before every failover
    • Encrypted, offline key backups

  4. 15:00 UTC

    Eyes open, 24/7

    Every node reports signing status, peers, sync height and hardware health into our monitoring stack. Alerts page an on-call operator on our four-person team, day or night.

    • Missed-block and sync-lag alerts
    • Hardware and disk health checks
    • On-call rotation across the team

  5. 20:00 UTC

    Upgrades without surprises

    We follow each network’s governance and release channels, rehearse upgrades before the halt height, and write a post-incident review whenever something goes wrong.

    • Release tracking per network
    • Rehearsed, coordinated upgrades
    • Written post-incident reviews

Delegator protection

Your stake stays yours.

Staking with OwlStake is non-custodial from the first click to the last. Here is what that means in practice.

  1. Step 1

    Delegate from your wallet

    Stake through the network’s own staking flow or any wallet you control. You sign the transaction; we never see your keys.

  2. Step 2

    Your tokens stay yours

    Delegation assigns voting weight to our validator. Ownership never moves to OwlStake, and we cannot touch your funds.

  3. Step 3

    Leave whenever you choose

    Undelegate or redelegate at any time, subject to each network’s unbonding period.

Backed by a slashing reserve.

If a slashing event caused by our infrastructure, operations or people ever reduces your stake, OwlStake compensates affected delegators from a dedicated reserve fund, in the same token, to the address that was slashed.

Read the slashing policy Security practices

Risks you should know.

Staking is not risk-free. We would rather you hear it from us first.

Full risk disclosure →
Slashing

Networks can penalise validators for downtime or double-signing, which can reduce delegated stake. Our reserve covers slashing caused by our operations; see the Slashing Policy for scope.

Unbonding periods

Many networks lock tokens for days or weeks after you undelegate. They earn nothing and cannot be moved during that time.

Variable rewards

Rewards depend on inflation, fees and total stake. They change over time and are never guaranteed.

Protocol & contract risk

Bugs in a network or its staking contracts can affect funds regardless of which validator you choose.

Market risk

The value of staked tokens can fall. Staking does not protect against price movements.

Beyond validating

Tools we share.

Good validators leave networks better than they found them. These are the public tools we build and run, free to use.
