Our Story

Valid Blocks is the result of our passion for blockchain and technology. Here's how it all began...

Our validator journey started back in 2018, with the Game of Stakes (GoS) competition that tested the security of Cosmos' Byzantine-Fault-Tolerance (BFT) based Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. Over the course of more than 2 months, we have learned that our previous experience in software and hardware is a precious ally in the blockchain validation world.

As private investors in the MultiversX (former Elrond), we have always had a close connection with the team. The constantly increasing development pace was truly inspiring. After setting up the very first community for Elrond Validators (on RIOT), we have been an active part on each release, with high results in the Battle of Nodes events. The successful mainnet launch in July 2020 was a huge milestone for us, as it marked the beginning of Valid Blocks, as a staking provider.

In parallel, we explored other blockchain projects, like Solana, as early as Tour-de-Sol2 (February 2020) and ended up validating on Solana Mainnet.

We are always on the lookout for new validation opportunities. The blockchain space is still in its very early stages, and we are here to help you make the most of your crypto assets, by running validation services for big and SMALL investors.
