01 Why Helios

Built on four pillars
of operational excellence

Every node, endpoint and pipeline we run is held to the same standard: it must be measurably reliable, secure and fast.

Professional

10+ years of combined engineering experience across distributed systems, DevOps and blockchain protocol work.

Performant

99.95% uptime with sub-500ms response times, backed by redundant bare-metal servers and automated failover.

Protective

Zero slashing incidents since genesis. Five layers of security from datacenter hardening to HSM-backed key custody.

Personalized

20+ services across software and infrastructure, tailored to what your protocol, team or treasury actually needs.

02 Services

End-to-end blockchain solutions

From consensus participation to custom protocol tooling, one team covers the full stack.

Infrastructure

Public and dedicated endpoints your dApps can rely on, with reliable uptime and low latency from Europe and Asia.

  • RPC / REST / gRPC endpoints
  • Chain snapshots & state-sync
  • IBC relaying
  • Archive nodes

03 Ecosystem Growth

Strong tech needs
a living ecosystem

Many L1s launch with great technology but no community traction, no active builders and no real-world usage. We fix that side of the equation for our partners.

Case study

Movement · Vietnam

Three community events in Vietnam (Let's MOVE Vietnam, Movement Community Meetup, AI Insights with Movement) that put the Move ecosystem in front of local builders.

  • 347+ participants across 3 events
  • Educated and activated new members around Move & AI
  • Direct ties built between local builders and Movement Labs
Case study

Somnia · Somdudu Fanclub

Built and scaled Somnia's contributor fan club from zero, with backing from the foundation: ranking system, events, AMAs and meme contests that keep the community moving.

  • 100+ contributors, 4,000+ user posts
  • 80+ livestream sessions on Discord and X
  • 15+ ecosystem projects supported, 30+ new devs educated
04 Security

Five layers between
your stake and failure

We treat slashing as an engineering problem, and we solved it. Our defense-in-depth model protects validator keys and liveness at every level of the stack.

  • ISO-certified datacenters Bare-metal servers in ISO 9001 / 14001 / 27001 / 15408 facilities across Europe, Asia and the US, on multiple independent providers.
  • DDoS-shielded sentry layer Validators never face the public internet. Sentries absorb attacks while consensus keeps signing.
  • HSM key custody Signing keys live in tamper-resistant hardware with double-sign protection enforced at the signer.
  • 24/7 monitoring & on-call Prometheus, Grafana and PagerDuty pipelines with a human on call around the clock, every day.

  2. 2

    Delegate to Helios

    Find the Helios validator on the chain's staking dashboard and choose the amount to delegate. It takes one transaction.

  3. 3

    Earn rewards

    Rewards accrue every block. Claim or compound them whenever you like. We handle the infrastructure behind it.

07 FAQ

Questions,
answered

Can't find what you need? Reach out and a real engineer will reply.

Is staking with Helios custodial?

No. Delegation is fully non-custodial: your tokens never leave your wallet. You grant our validator the right to stake on your behalf, and you can undelegate at any time subject to the network's unbonding period.

What happens if the validator goes offline?

Our sentry architecture and automated failover mean downtime is measured in seconds, not hours. Even in a longer outage, most networks only pause rewards. For the record, we have kept 99.95% uptime with zero slashing incidents since genesis.

How are my staked assets protected from slashing?

Slashing on most networks is triggered by double-signing or extended downtime. We prevent double-signing at the hardware level with HSM-backed signers, and prevent downtime with redundant infrastructure and 24/7 on-call engineers. Result: zero slashing events, ever.

Which wallets can I use?

Any wallet supported by the network you're staking on. Keplr and Leap cover the Cosmos chains, and each network also has its own wallet or dashboard. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll walk you through it.

What commission does Helios charge?

Commission varies per network and is always visible on-chain before you delegate, typically around 5%. It is deducted from rewards only, never from your principal.

Can Helios run dedicated infrastructure for my team?

Yes. We offer dedicated RPC endpoints, indexers, relayers and white-label validation for protocols, funds and dApp teams. Book a call and tell us what you need.
