average score over 2 application evaluations
A decentralized platform for hosting and managing blockchain nodes, simplifying participation in decentralized networks with a user-friendly interface, supporting Ethereum, Bitcoin, IPFS, and more.

Since 2018, Dappnode has been a key software for blockchain infrastructure and a big part of decentralization in Ethereum.

Dappnode is a decentralized infrastructure platform that allows users to easily host their own decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain nodes. Dappnode makes it easy to host and run various types of blockchain software, such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, IPFS, and others. The platform also provides users with a user-friendly interface to manage and monitor their nodes.

One of the key benefits of using Dappnode is that it enables users to participate in decentralized networks without needing to rely on centralized infrastructure, such as cloud hosting providers. Users also don't require to have a high technical skillset, since the Dappnode UI makes it easy for users at all levels of technical experience to run their own nodes. Solo staking in Dappnode is made simple thanks to the Stakers Menu, which allows you to set up an Ethereum node ready to validate in a few clicks:

Dappnode is an open-source project, which means that anyone can contribute to its development and improvement. The platform is also community-driven, with users collaborating to create and share tools and resources to enhance its functionality.

One of Dappnode's features launched in the last year is its Rollups menu, catching up with the needs of its users for privacy as they adapt to scaling solutions in the Ethereum ecosystem. The first implementation was with Optimism, but we'll be expanding to other L2s in the following months. We specially look forward to adapting these new features to ways in which rollup sequencers can decentralize and offer incentives to participants. The Rollups Menu works just like the Stakers Menu:

During 2024 we've also catched up with Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), enabling leading projects like Obol and SSV to integrate with current node operators using their own Dappnode packages. Setting up a distibuted validator cluster on Ethereum is a new feature that's now available to Dappnode users in just a few clicks.
