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.
Fair Minimum Fees
We set our commission to the minimum network threshold (10% on Polkadot). We maximize the return for our delegators while ensuring node maintenance sustainability.
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
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.
Following a community vote and network governance decision on Polkadot, a minimum commission of 10% has been set for all active validators. This ensures the long-term sustainability of validators, funding high-availability server nodes and secure backup systems.
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.
