Validators: Infrastructure Business

Blockchain, much like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, or space tech, isn’t just an industry – it’s an entire ecosystem with countless directions. One of the fastest-growing segments within it is validation.

Behind every block in the blockchain stands a validator – a technical node that keeps the network running, secure, and fair. But behind these processes is a new breed of infrastructure companies already profiting from supporting Web3 networks.

These companies are building full-fledged product lines and service models:

  • Launching nodes in Testnet: participating in testnets of emerging blockchains, receiving delegations and airdrops.
  • White-label validators: running nodes under the branding of funds, DAOs, and institutional clients.
  • Tool development: RPC nodes, indexers, APIs, explorers, and custom dashboards.
  • Staking management: interfaces, automation, and reporting for users.
  • Consulting and integration: helping new blockchains launch infrastructure and attract validators.

Who’s already making money on validation?

Figment

– TVL grew from $5 billion to $7.4+ billion in recent months.

Nodes.Guru

– Active in 170+ testnets and 65 mainnets.

– Specializes in Cosmos and multi-network architectures.

Everstake, Stakefish, Allnodes

– Serving DAOs, funds, and retail investors.

– Scalable infrastructure with a reliable technical foundation.

Kraken, Binance, Coinbase

– Integrating staking into the exchange user experience.

– Stable revenue streams with high trust and security.

5 reasons why the validation market will keep growing:

  • The rise of PoS networks and the shift from PoW to energy-efficient models.
  • Increasing demand for staking-as-a-service from institutional players.
  • Staking integration into tokenized assets, Web3, and fintech.
  • Attractive yields: 4-7% from staking on Ethereum.
  • The emergence of full-scale infrastructure companies competing for trust and a share of network management.

  • As of now, the Total Value Locked (TVL) across all blockchain networks is around $96.7 billion, with $53.4 billion tied to Ethereum. This reflects strong confidence in PoS protocols and a growing share of assets.
  • Analysts estimate that stakers’ annual income currently sits at $18-20 billion. With the rising capitalization of PoS networks, this figure could climb to $40-50 billion.

Now is a prime time for investors. Solana validator program offers a chance to join the decentralized future. Instead of just buying tokens, you can become part of the infrastructure that underpins the entire network.

Those launching validators on Solana today, participating in testnets, and building white-label solutions could soon be among the key players controlling the infrastructure of the biggest Web3 ecosystems, earning from commissions, delegations, and airdrops.

Until 31.03.2025, 23:59 (UTC), the ecosystem is holding a Solana validator snapshot – your last chance to claim a share of the revenue as a bonus.

Which validation model would you invest in? Which directions seem the most scalable to you?
