IceNode runs distributed validator infrastructure on SSV Network. No single point of failure. No custody of your keys. No compromises.
SSV Network splits your validator key across independent operators — so no single machine, and no single operator, is a point of failure.
Your validator's BLS private key is split into encrypted shares using Shamir's Secret Sharing. No single operator ever holds the complete key. The full key is never reassembled during operation.
Key shares run simultaneously across independent nodes in separate geographies via IBFT consensus. There is no primary to fail over from. A cluster tolerates multiple offline nodes before missing a duty.
Partial BLS signatures from each operator are aggregated into a single valid validator signature. The beacon chain sees a standard validator. Your rewards accrue as expected.
IceNode supports DKG — operators collaboratively generate key shares without the complete validator key ever existing on any single machine. Zero-knowledge from the first moment.
Operating Ethereum validators since September 2022. We know the protocol's edge cases and what separates reliable infrastructure from merely online infrastructure.
We run minority Ethereum execution and consensus clients across our infrastructure. If a majority client encounters a bug, our validators are unaffected.
Bare-metal servers in certified Tier III facilities across Europe, North America, and Asia. No shared cloud instances, no shared fate with a single provider.
SSV Network is our entire operating environment, not an add-on. Our operations, monitoring, and security model are DVT-first throughout.
IceNode operates through SSV Network. Everything is non-custodial — your keys stay yours throughout.
Go to the SSV Network app, connect your wallet, and register your validator. DKG is supported — the full key never needs to exist on a single machine.
Open SSV App ↗Search for IceNode in the operator directory and add us to your cluster. Choose a cluster size of 4 (tolerates 1 failure) or 7 (tolerates 2 failures).
Deposit SSV tokens to cover operator fees and activate your cluster. Your validator begins attesting within minutes. Rewards accrue to your withdrawal credentials as normal.
Not sure which cluster size or configuration is right for you? Get in touch — we'll walk you through it.
Security is not a feature we added — it is the architecture. Every component was chosen to minimize trust requirements and eliminate single points of failure.
Staking rewards. Clean performance data. No operational burden on your end.
Whether you are running a liquid staking protocol, managing staked ETH at scale, or exploring institutional-grade validator infrastructure — we are happy to discuss how IceNode can fit your requirements.
