# Luganodes

> Institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure

Luganodes is a non-custodial blockchain infrastructure provider offering institutional-grade staking services. It serves enterprises and institutions seeking to participate in proof-of-stake networks without operating their own validator infrastructure.

Luganodes is a non-custodial blockchain infrastructure company that provides staking services and validator infrastructure for proof-of-stake networks. It enables institutions and individuals to participate in network validation and earn staking rewards without operating or maintaining their own nodes. The company positions itself around compliance and operational reliability rather than retail-facing features, targeting enterprises, custodians, and other institutional participants in digital asset markets.

The company originated from an initiative backed by a Swiss municipality and a stablecoin issuer, and it operates from Switzerland while running validator infrastructure across a range of supported blockchain networks. Luganodes addresses the operational complexity of running validator nodes, including uptime management, security, and slashing risk, by handling node operations end to end on behalf of clients. It is regulated and maintains information security and data protection practices aligned with recognized industry standards, and it makes insurance coverage available for staked assets through a third-party provider.

Luganodes offers non-custodial staking, managed and white-label validator nodes, a staking application programming interface, and enterprise remote procedure call infrastructure for blockchain applications. Its offerings are grouped around staking, node operation, and infrastructure access, supporting institutional clients such as digital asset custodians, exchanges, and other regulated financial platforms. The company is used by institutions seeking to add staking and validator services to their own product offerings without building the underlying infrastructure themselves.
