Is there a managed or delegated node option for non-technical buyers?

Managed hosting partners are vetted by Autheo's commercial entity and hold SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 attestations, providing institutional-grade operational assurance.

Direct Answer

Yes. Buyers who don't want to operate hardware can delegate to Autheo's verified managed hosting partners InfStones and Zeeve. Both partners offer fully managed validator services with hardware, networking, monitoring, and 24/7 support included for a transparent monthly or per-emission fee.

What Managed Hosting Includes

Managed hosting includes provisioning the validator on partner-operated hardware, configuring keys with HSM-backed key management, monitoring uptime, applying software updates, and providing 24/7 incident response. The buyer retains ownership of the validator NFT and emissions; the partner handles operations in exchange for a flat fee or revenue share, depending on the package.

Why Choose InfStones or Zeeve

Both partners run validators across dozens of major networks and hold SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 attestations, satisfying institutional compliance requirements. Their global data center footprint means validators run from regions with strong network performance and regulatory clarity. Pricing is transparent and contracted, removing the variable cost of self-hosting.

Self-Hosting vs Managed

Self-hosting offers maximum control and lowest direct cost but requires technical operations expertise, 24/7 incident response, and capital investment in hardware and connectivity. Managed hosting trades a transparent fee for predictability and zero operational burden. Most non-technical buyers and many institutional buyers choose managed.

Expert Perspective

The distinction between owning a validator and operating one is critical. Most institutional buyers want to own the economics without taking on 24/7 ops. Managed hosting is the institutional-grade answer.
