Welcome to our new blog section. With this blog, we want to keep readers informed about what we do, what we are working on, and how the networks we support continue to evolve.
Our goal is to clearly explain changes, upgrades, and governance updates for the blockchains we operate in plain, easy-to-understand language. We believe transparency and accessibility are essential in a space that can often feel complex or overly technical.
This blog is not only for operators and technical professionals, but also for anyone interested in blockchain, decentralization, and how networks are run behind the scenes. That’s why we focus on clarity over jargon and practical explanations over hype.
This is our very first blog post, so we’d like to start by introducing ourselves.
Who We Are
We are independent node operators and infrastructure managers based in the Netherlands. Our journey started in 2018, purely as a hobby alongside our regular jobs. What began as curiosity and experimentation gradually grew into a deep passion for blockchain infrastructure and decentralized networks.
Over time, this passion turned into a full-time commitment. We eventually left our regular jobs and became full-time node operators, fully focused on building and maintaining reliable blockchain infrastructure.
Web3 is a space we truly believe in. Beyond the financial perspective, we care deeply about fair decentralization and honest participation in the networks we support. Contributing responsibly to the community is just as important to us as running profitable infrastructure.
We aim to be as open and transparent as possible. We actively share our experiences, lessons learned, and operational insights and we are always open to questions and discussions.

What Does Staker Space Do?
At Staker Space, we design, operate, and maintain high-performance blockchain infrastructure for networks that demand reliability, security, and consistency.
We actively run validators, sequencers, and full nodes across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Our infrastructure is built on bare-metal servers that we fully manage ourselves, colocated in high-quality data centers with excellent connectivity, redundancy, and physical security.
By operating our own hardware instead of relying solely on generic cloud setups, we maintain full control over performance, reliability, and security which is critical for long-term, professional network participation.
Our daily work includes:
- uptime engineering and redundancy design
- monitoring, alerting, and incident response
- protocol upgrades and release management
- performance tuning and security hardening
In short, we make sure blockchain networks run smoothly, securely, and professionally.
