Problem
Participating in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains requires technical expertise and infrastructure, creating a barrier to entry for many token holders who want to earn staking rewards and contribute to network security. Delegating staking responsibilities to unreliable or insecure validators can lead to loss of funds through slashing or downtime.
Solution
Polkachu operates validator nodes on over 120 Proof-of-Stake blockchains, providing a secure and reliable staking service for token holders. By delegating their stake to Polkachu, users can earn staking rewards without needing to manage their own infrastructure or actively participate in consensus. Polkachu offers enterprise-grade security, a low commission rate, and actively participates in chain governance, ensuring compliance with chain protocols. They also provide public RPC and EVM RPC endpoints for developers and users on many of the blockchains they support.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cryptocurrency holders seeking to earn staking rewards on their assets and blockchain developers needing reliable RPC endpoints.
