Managed validators for a staking provider

How a staking provider like “Stellar Stake” would hand its validator operations to AllenHark.

An illustrative scenario. The firm is a composite, and this page reports no measured results.

Faint streams, the stake, flow in from the left toward a bright stepped block, the validator; from its top a single bright stream, its vote, rises and runs away to the upper right.A validator taking in stake and sending out its voteAn abstract drawing of light on the page's dark ground.

The challenge

Stellar Stake stakes SOL for institutional clients, and its reputation rests on two things: reliability and yield.

Missed blocks cost its clients rewards, and running its own validator hardware pulls the team away from the clients themselves.

The setup

AllenHark runs the validator under Stellar Stake's own brand, on bare-metal hardware in Frankfurt or Amsterdam, with monitoring, alerting and vote-account management. See the managed validator for what the service includes.

What changes

Stellar Stake keeps its name and its clients, and its team works on them rather than on hardware. We quote no uptime or yield figures, because none were measured for this scenario.
