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—none of the conventional cloud-formation tools available in the market could cater to blockchain. This idea grew into what is now 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. It is able to maintain blockchain infrastructure across 40+ networks.
Blockdaemon is continually seeking ways to add value to the industry as a whole: its recent acquisition of Gem, a company which offers cryptocurrency API-related services, will allow Blockdaemon to immediately generate transaction-based revenue. Recent investment funding will also be put towards the development of its services, ensuring its platform is optimized for users.
