What is Validator-as-a-Service (VaaS)?
Validator-as-a-Service allows institutions and ecosystem partners to run validator nodes without managing any of the underlying infrastructure. Hex Trust handles the full lifecycle — validator deployment, monitoring, maintenance, rewards management, and reporting — while clients retain control of their assets.
How is Validator-as-a-Service different from regular staking?
Traditional staking typically involves delegating assets to an existing validator.
Validator-as-a-Service, however, is a solution where Hex Trust runs and manages dedicated validator infrastructure on your behalf.
We provide secure custody, compliant key management, 24/7 monitoring, performance tuning, and incident response, allowing institutions to earn staking rewards without building or operating validator nodes.
This approach offers greater control, enhanced transparency, and significantly reduces operational, security, and slashing risks — compared to delegating to third-party validators.
Which networks are supported for validator operations?
Hex Trust can support validator operations across any major network, with infrastructure designed to accommodate both established and emerging ecosystems.
We currently operate validators on several leading networks — such as Ethereum, Cosmos-based chains, Stacks,and other PoS ecosystems — and can integrate additional networks based on institutional demand.
For the most up-to-date list of supported assets, please refer to our Supported Asset List, or contact our team to discuss validator support for your specific network.
How does Hex Trust keep staked assets secure?
Staked assets through Hex Trust’s institutional-grade custody platform are secured by multi-layer security, hardware isolation, and our proprietary Cross Domain Solution (CDS) for private key protection.
Validator nodes are operated using enterprise-grade infrastructure with continuous monitoring, strict access controls, and automated failover processes to minimize risks such as downtime, slashing, or key compromise.
