# node101 > BUILD SOMETHING UNORDINARY node101 is a blockchain infrastructure company that provides validator services, enterprise RPC access, and consulting for financial institutions and developers operating on multiple blockchain networks. node101 provides blockchain infrastructure services to financial institutions and developers seeking reliable access to blockchain networks. Users can stake assets through managed validators, access low-latency RPC endpoints via Türkiye-based infrastructure, and deploy whitelabel validators under their own brand. The company also offers blockchain consulting, product development, and developer community programs. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-07-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101 ## Products - [node101 Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): node101 Staking is a delegation service enabling users and institutions to earn staking rewards across multiple proof-of-stake networks without operating validator infrastructure. Delegators assign tokens to node101-managed validators, which handle block production and reward distribution. The service includes restaking options through integrated protocols and whitelabel validator management for corporate clients requiring custom infrastructure. (Staking Service, Live, Main Product) - [node101 RPC](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): node101 RPC is an RPC provider delivering API endpoints for developers and applications to query and interact with multiple blockchain networks without running dedicated nodes. The service operates hosted infrastructure with Turkey-based nodes and supports transaction submission and data queries across networks. Pricing tiers range from free public endpoints to dedicated commercial access with higher rate limits. (RPC Provider, Live) - [Pulsar Chain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): Pulsar Chain is a Layer 1 blockchain that integrates zero-knowledge proof capabilities from Mina Protocol with the Cosmos SDK to extend ZK-based verification across interconnected networks. The implementation covers Mina-native proving, public-key mappings, and transaction flows embedding Mina signatures into Cosmos SDK payloads. A bridge module connects to the Cosmos ecosystem and, through IBC, to a wider range of assets and applications. (L1, Open Beta) - [zkVot](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): zkVot is a zero-knowledge voting protocol enabling anonymous, verifiable, and censorship-resistant elections using a multi-chain architecture. Voters prove eligibility and cast votes without revealing their identity, while Celestia provides the data availability layer for vote distribution. A permissionless aggregation layer allows any participant to finalize results, and an incentive mechanism called Accepting the Maximum Condition rewards timely proof aggregation. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Open Beta) - [Knidos](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): Knidos is an AI trading agent that uses zero-knowledge proofs to support external verification of trading performance without revealing wallet addresses or positions. The system generates zkTrade Proofs verifying metrics including realized yield, traded assets, timestamps, drawdown, and win rate. Proofs settle approximately every hour on a verification-specialized chain, enabling any independent party to confirm claimed trading results. (AI Agent, Live) - [Validatier](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): Validatier is a validator intelligence dashboard for the Cosmos ecosystem that organizes validator performance data into a structured interface for delegators, ecosystem teams, and communities. Built in collaboration with Cosmos Labs, the platform tracks validator behavior, capital flows, participation rates, and network contribution. The dashboard translates complex validator dynamics into actionable information to support informed delegation decisions. (Staking Data, Live) - [Klein](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): Klein is a node installation and management tool for Cosmos ecosystem blockchains that simplifies deploying validator and full nodes through a user-friendly dashboard. Instead of command-line workflows and manual server operations, operators use Klein to install, run, and control Cosmos AppChain nodes without writing code. The tool emphasizes privacy by not collecting or storing personal or node-related information. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [node101 Events](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): node101 organizes blockchain community events including ETHIstanbul, a hackathon and conference for developers and Web3 companies; Builders Week Istanbul, a multi-day event series supporting blockchain ecosystem development; and Cryptist, a community event focused on zero-knowledge proofs, cryptography, and privacy systems. (Events & Conferences, Live) - [node101 Consulting](https://thegrid.id/profiles/node101): node101's consulting service provides organizations with blockchain strategy design, technical architecture review, and end-to-end product development support. Services include defining blockchain strategies for organizations, designing scalable technical architectures, and delivering full-cycle product development for teams building decentralized applications and infrastructure.
