New AVAX Validator powered by Shield Crypto

We are thrilled to announce that Shield Crypto has officially expanded its infrastructure to support the Avalanche blockchain. By launching a high-performance validator on the Avalanche Mainnet, we are doubling down on our commitment to secure the future of decentralized finance and sub-second finality.

Avalanche blockchain support

Why Avalanche Support?

Avalanche is not just another Layer 1; it is a "platform of platforms". It stands out as the fastest smart contracts platform in the industry when measured by time-to-finality, with transactions finalizing in under 1 second. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high throughput and low latency, such as decentralized exchanges, gaming, and real-time data feeds.

With the launch of our public validator node, we invite the community to participate in the network’s security while earning rewards.

  • Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure: Our node is built on a high-availability architecture to ensure maximum uptime and performance.
  • No Slashing Risk: Unlike many other networks, Avalanche does not penalize (slash) your principal stake if a validator goes offline. Your funds remain safe; you simply miss out on rewards during downtime.
  • Low Barriers to Entry: While running a validator requires at least 2000 AVAX, you can delegate to Shield Crypto with as little as 25 AVAX
