Our take
The idea for Blockdaemon originated when its founder ran Ethereum nodes in 2017, and realized that doing so was very difficult with the existing infrastructure at the time. This was because none of the conventional cloud-formation tools available in the market could cater to blockchain, creating the idea which would grow into the Blockdaemon platform.
The company offers node operations and infrastructure tooling for blockchain projects across their life-cycle: from testing, to clusters for exchanges/custodians, and finally APIs for developers. Blockdaemon’s node management platform helps auto-scale blockchain networks securely with enhanced monitoring, APIs, back-up systems and more.
Blockdaemon is continually seeking ways to add value to the industry as a whole. Its acquisition of Gem, a company which offers cryptocurrency API-related services, allowed the company to immediately generate transaction-based revenue. Funding has been put towards the further development of its services, and the company has partnered with Aave Labs to expand institutional access to DeFi.
