Smart Stake is a professional blockchain validator operating across 20+ Proof-of-Stake networks, including major ecosystems such as Cosmos-based chains. We provide high-uptime validator services combined with advanced, real-time analytics dashboards that help delegators transparently evaluate validator performance, rewards, risk, and decentralization impact.

In addition to staking operations, Smart Stake builds open, data-driven tools used by delegators, validators, and ecosystem participants to better understand network health, validator behavior, and long-term staking outcomes. Smart Stake is trusted by 30,000+ delegators worldwide.

Smart Stake operates professionally managed, cloud-based infrastructure with a strong emphasis on reliability, redundancy, and security hardening.

Key principles include:

1 - Hardened validator nodes following industry security best practices

2 - Continuous monitoring and alerting for uptime, performance, and anomalies

3 - Redundant infrastructure and failover strategies where supported by the network

Infrastructure decisions are continuously reviewed and adapted to meet the specific operational and slashing requirements of each network.

Smart Stake is operated by a team with 25+ years of IT and infrastructure experience, spanning distributed systems, cloud platforms, security, and blockchain networks. Smart Stake has been validating since 2019. Smart Stake validates in 20+ networks and has an overall voting power rank of 20-25 across all supported networks.

Smart Stake’s analytics tools and dashboards are widely referenced across ecosystems, reflecting a strong reputation for technical reliability and transparency.

Smart Stake approaches governance with a long-term, network-first mindset. Each proposal is evaluated based on:

- Network security and decentralization impact

- Economic sustainability and validator/delegator incentives

- Alignment with the protocol’s long-term roadmap

Where appropriate, Smart Stake engages with the community, developers, and delegators before voting. Governance votes are cast independently, transparently, and in what we believe to be the best interest of the network’s long-term health, rather than short-term gains.

Smart Stake offers reliable validator operations with high uptime and transparent, real-time analytics. Delegation supports the continued operation of Smart Stake’s public dashboards covering validators, relayers, network health, and Vaayu, an analytics platform for the broader Cosmos ecosystem. Combined with responsible governance participation and a strong operational track record, Smart Stake is a solid long-term choice for data-driven delegators.
