ChrochetNode
Institutional Ethereum Validator Operations

Retain custody. Outsource validator operations.

ChrochetNode provides dedicated, non-custodial Ethereum validator infrastructure for institutions, custodians, asset managers, family offices, and professional ETH holders.

Clients retain ownership and custody of their ETH and control the withdrawal credentials. ChrochetNode operates the validator infrastructure and signing layer. Principal and rewards remain directed to client-controlled addresses.

Client Control

• Client-controlled ETH custody and withdrawal addresses
• Native Ethereum staking without requiring a liquid staking token
• No transfer of staking principal or rewards to ChrochetNode
• Compatibility with an institution's existing custody architecture

Validator Operations

• Dedicated rather than pooled validator environments and signing operations
• Distributed validator technology and DKG-based key generation
• Client-diverse execution and consensus infrastructure
• Slashing protection, monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Recovery readiness and controlled validator exits
• Validator-level performance, reward, and incident reporting

Institutional Engagements

Engagements are structured individually for dedicated mandates, operator diversification, or white-label validator infrastructure. The architecture and operating controls are aligned with the client's custody, security, compliance, reporting, and service-level requirements.

ChrochetNode GmbH is based in Zürich, Switzerland, with direct client access to the technical operator.

Native staking is the core model. Vault-based accounting, liquid staking, tokenization, pooling, or protocol integrations can be evaluated where a mandate specifically requires them.

Commercial terms are agreed individually based on validator scope, operational requirements, and service levels.
