Upnode
Upnode operates institutional-grade, permissionless public good validators that secure blockchain networks such as X (formerly Twitter's chain reference), AI-related chains, and Celestia. It also builds and open-sources developer tooling for rollup operators, Move builders, and data-availability developers.

Description
Upnode positions itself as a provider of institutional-grade, public-good validator infrastructure, running enterprise-hardened validator clusters that keep the chains it supports online, performant, and censorship-resistant, including networks like Celestia. Alongside validation services, Upnode publishes battle-tested, MIT-licensed open source tools that remove friction for rollup operators, Move builders, and data-availability developers, and contributes upstream PRs to the ecosystem. Its published tools include Uproll CLI for deploying self-hosted OP-Stack rollup chains, Opstack Compose for launching self-hosted OP-Stack chains via Docker Compose, Signer Proxy for secure external transaction signing using YubiHSM2 or AWS KMS, Easy Celestia for interacting with Celestia's data availability layer, and a Berachain Docker Node bundle. Its typical clients are rollup operators, blockchain developers, and infrastructure teams within the crypto ecosystem.Grant Funding
