What CryptoManufaktur does

CryptoManufaktur is a blockchain infrastructure services firm that provides node operations and staking services to blockchain protocols and DeFi projects. Founded in late 2020 by Thorsten Behrens and Jake Weaver, the company operates nodes for Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and Huobi Eco within Chainlink's oracle network, collecting price feed data from multiple off-chain sources, reaching consensus with other node operators, and placing the resulting data on-chain. The firm has run Ethereum 2.0 (Proof of Stake) nodes since genesis on the Beacon Chain, establishing a multi-year operational track record in consensus-layer infrastructure.

The company offers two primary product lines. Its Node Services provide decentralized, highly available node infrastructure across multiple blockchain networks under a quote-based subscription model. Its Staking as a Service product leverages Secret Shared Validator (SSV) technology through CryptoManufaktur's status as a ssv.network Verified Operator, distributing Ethereum validator keys across four or more non-trusting node instances under a consensus mechanism. The company also publishes eth-docker, an open-source tool for automated Ethereum node deployment. Its go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, relying on direct email outreach ([email protected]), Discord community engagement, and bespoke arrangements with protocols requiring oracle and node infrastructure. Revenue is generated through subscription-based node infrastructure fees and professional services consulting, with no public pricing.

CryptoManufaktur is now a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) following an asset acquisition completed in July 2024. Prior to and since the acquisition, the company has maintained a small headcount (1-10 employees) and emphasizes a security-first operating model, including Privileged Access Workstations, hardware-backed 2FA (YubiKey), rootless containers, and TLS-encrypted external services.

Core offering

CryptoManufaktur operates blockchain node infrastructure as a service across Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and Huobi Eco, including Chainlink oracle nodes that aggregate off-chain data, reach consensus, and deliver on-chain price feeds. The firm also provides decentralized Ethereum staking as a service using Secret Shared Validator (SSV) technology, splitting validator keys across multiple non-trusting node operators. Additional offerings include technological consulting in cryptocurrency, including authentication of cryptocurrency data using blockchain technology.

Product overview

CryptoManufaktur provides blockchain infrastructure services as a unified offering focused on node operations and staking. The core products are Node Services (providing highly available blockchain node infrastructure across Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and other networks) and Staking as a Service (decentralized staking using Secret Shared Validator technology via ssv.network). The company also publishes eth-docker as an open-source tool for Ethereum node deployment. All services leverage Chainlink oracle network infrastructure and focus on security, reliability, and 24/7 operations.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Node Services Node-as-a-service infrastructure providing decentralized, highly available blockchain node operations across Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and Huobi Eco (Huobi Eco). Nodes operate within Chainlink's industry-standard oracle network, collecting price feed data from multiple off-chain sources, reaching consensus with other node operators, and placing the resulting data on-chain. Includes continuous monitoring, attack-vector analysis, and stress testing.
• Staking as a Service Decentralized Ethereum staking infrastructure powered by Secret Shared Validator (SSV) technology. Splits validator keys between four or more non-trusting node instances (multi-operator nodes) governed by a consensus mechanism, transforming validator keys into a multisig construct to mitigate single-point-of-failure slashing risk. Delivered as a ssv.network Verified Operator service.
• eth-docker Open-source tool that enables automated and secure deployment of Ethereum nodes, originally targeting Ethereum 2.0 (Beacon Chain / PoS). Aimed at operators and validators who want a standardized, secure Ethereum node setup.
