Blockchain is a core enabler for the new distributed economy — a layer of transparent and fair financial & technological mechanisms that will replace their centralized counterparts by offering the exact same functionality, but in a trustless manner.

Trusting a third party is replaced by mathematical proofs generated by the very fabric of any distributed layer — its network of computers. Participating with compute resources in a blockchain is one of the many ways of earning money in the new distributed economy.

At Elrond we strive to lower the barrier of entry for our validators so that basic computer skills and entry-level PCs are sufficient to join our network and earn ERD rewards. We however want to make sure that even Elrond supporters without the time or resources to set up their own nodes can put their favorite cryptocurrency to work for them.

We are therefore happy to announce that Stake Capital will offer Elrond validation on behalf of anyone interested via their liquid staking pools (enabling Elrond validation without the need for operating individualized infrastructure) as well as custom Staking-as-a-Service offerings. Additionally, Stake Capital plans to include Elrond as a service inside of their newly launched Stake DAO, allowing stakers to capture additional validation fees.

“Participants in the Elrond network are our core focus, regardless of their available resources or skills. By joining forces with Stake Capital we are now able to recommend a trustworthy professional blockchain infrastructure operator to all our supporters that need one.said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO

The array of projects we support on behalf of our customers is carefully selected to make sure our visions are aligned and sustainable value is created for all involved. After interacting with the core team and joining the Battle of Nodes public testnet event, we are confident Elrond is a project fully fitting our criteria, that we are happy to support moving forward.” said Julien Bouteloup, CEO Staking Capital.
