Genesis validators and miners across Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work networks
NITAWA Systems has run blockchain infrastructure since 2020, across both Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work networks. We were genesis validators on chains like Shentu, Terra and Stargaze, trusted to help secure them from the first block. The way we run things comes from years in enterprise IT: redundant systems, 24/7 monitoring with automated alerts, and practices built on the ITIL service framework. That is the kind of steady operation delegators, miners and project teams can count on.
The networks we help secure, from Proof-of-Stake validators to Proof-of-Work mining, spanning live mainnets, test networks and chains we have supported over the years.
A security-focused blockchain leveraging Formal Verification to enhance smart contract safety through the CertiK Virtual Machine.
A community-owned blockchain enabling permissionless, borderless financial products accessible to anyone worldwide.
The first interoperable Layer 1 for NFTs, offering a fully decentralized marketplace within the Cosmos ecosystem.
A high-performance blockchain delivering fast, secure, and censorship-resistant infrastructure for global-scale applications.
The original Terra blockchain, now community-governed by validators and token holders committed to its continued development.
A proof-of-work coin that uses the GHOSTDAG protocol to produce blocks in parallel, so transactions confirm almost instantly while the chain stays secure.
A peer-reviewed blockchain built on evidence-based methods. We operate relay nodes and provide stakepool setup services for ADA investors.
A modular data availability network enabling anyone to deploy sovereign blockchains with minimal overhead.
Built by former Meta engineers, delivering production-ready blockchain infrastructure for global-scale adoption.
A permissionless Layer 1 built to scale for mainstream use, aiming to bring the next wave of users onto Web3.
A decentralized oracle platform for DeFi, open for anyone to take part and secured through careful incentive design.
The first platform for blockchain-powered mobile games, bridging in-game economies with real-world value.
An NFT 2.0 blockchain creating new standards for decentralized digital media and content ownership.
Cross-chain DeFi infrastructure for lending, borrowing and moving capital between networks.
A high-throughput Cosmos chain that pioneered interoperable smart contracts. We served as a mainnet validator supporting network decentralization.
An EVM-compatible Cosmos chain bridging Ethereum applications to the interchain ecosystem. We served as Genesis Validator.
We have secured Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work networks since 2020. Here is what that experience means for the people who stake with us.
We were chosen as a genesis validator on Shentu, Terra v2, Stargaze and Evmos. Teams pick their launch validators carefully, so being on those lists says a lot about the trust placed in how we run things.
Our setup has held up through network attacks, market crashes and chain halts. Failover is tuned per protocol to avoid double signing, and hot spare nodes take over fast enough that your stake keeps earning.
We aim for 99.9% uptime and have kept close to it year after year. You do not have to take our word for it either, since validator uptime is recorded on chain for anyone to verify.
We run Tendermint validators on Cosmos, work with Solana's Proof of History and Cardano's Ouroboros, and mine Kaspa on GHOSTDAG. Each consensus model is different, and we know these ones well.
We bring the habits of enterprise IT to node operations. Changes are planned and documented, incidents follow a clear response process, and we review what happened afterward so the same problem does not return.
Our monitoring tracks hundreds of signals on every node and pages us the moment something looks off, through PagerDuty. Most of the time we catch and fix an issue before it ever touches performance or rewards.
We stake a meaningful amount of our own funds on the same validators you delegate to. If a node gets slashed, we lose too. That keeps our interests and yours pointed in the same direction.
We care about this beyond the rewards. We vote in governance, spread our nodes across different regions, and back promising young networks early, when they need reliable operators the most.
Since 2020 we have had no breaches, no key compromises and no unauthorized access to our systems. Coming from an information security background, we treat key management and hardening as the starting point, not a box to tick later.
No ticket queues or call centers. Reach the people who actually operate the nodes, by email, Twitter, Telegram or Discord. When something happens on a network, we tell you what is going on and what we are doing about it.
Our commission rates are competitive and set to be sustainable. We charge enough to keep the infrastructure running well for years, without taking an unfair cut of your rewards.
We are not chasing quick gains. We stay with a network from testnet through a mature mainnet, in good markets and bad. The chains we have supported since the early days know we do not walk away when things get quiet.
Maybe you want to delegate and are looking for an operator you can rely on. Maybe you run a project that needs a solid validator, or you are weighing your staking options. Whichever it is, send us a message and we are glad to help.
We typically respond within 24-48 hours.
