Why Stake With Us?

Instant Payouts

No waiting for validator operators. We payout outstanding rewards to all nominators automatically after each era using custom automated scripts.

Zero Slash History

Security is our core objective. Since our launch in 2022, none of our validators have ever been slashed for unresponsiveness or double signing.

0% Validator Commission

Under Polkadot Staking 1.5, validator commission is 0% — 100% of staking rewards go directly to delegators. Node operators are rewarded through protocol self-stake incentives.

Enterprise Node Hardware

Primary Server

Our main validator runs on bare-metal hardware hosted in a highly resilient data center in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (12c/24t)
  • RAM 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM
  • Storage 2x 1TB Enterprise NVMe SSDs
  • Network 1 Gbps Dedicated Bandwidth

Backup Server

We keep a secondary active backup node running in another data center to migrate validator services in case of critical maintenance.

  • CPU Intel Core i9-10900K (10c/20t)
  • RAM 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM
  • Storage 2x 500GB NVMe SSDs
  • Network 1 Gbps Port Speed

Supporting Decentralization

Many validators concentrate server hosts on Google Cloud, AWS, OVH, or Hetzner. A major outage in these networks could lead to mass slashes. We host at **Worldstream**, making us the only Polkadot validator operating on their network.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stake my DOT/KSM with GTSTAKING?

To stake with us, open the official Polkadot Staking Dashboard, connect your wallet, search for our validator address (shown above), and add GTSTAKING to your nomination list. Make sure to choose validators with a track record of high uptime and low slashes.

How does validator compensation work with 0% commission on Polkadot?

Under Polkadot Staking 1.5, validator commission charged to nominators is eliminated (0%), meaning 100% of staking rewards generated by block validation are passed directly to delegators. Instead of charging a fee, validators earn compensation directly from the chain's protocol self-stake incentive budget based on their self-stake commitment (GTSTAKING maintains 11,000 DOT self-stake).

What is your strategy to protect against slashing?

We run two dedicated servers: a primary and a standby node. We do *not* run automated High-Availability failovers, as the risk of double-signing (which leads to severe slashing) is significantly higher than the penalty for being briefly offline. In case of issues, we migrate servers manually using secure key generation procedures.
