Validation Cloud
Validation Cloud, founded in 2017 by Alex Nwaka and Andrew McFarlane and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland with significant operations in Houston, offers institutional staking, node and data infrastructure across 30+ chains. Its platform provides validators, archival nodes, staking dashboards and SOC-compliant APIs used by exchanges, custodians and enterprises to access Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and Cosmos without operating infrastructure directly. Headquartered at Dammstrasse 16, Zug with a globally distributed ops team spanning Europe and North America, Validation Cloud emphasizes uptime, hardware security modules and transparent reporting for staked assets. Serving institutions staking significant value, it blends data center operations with protocol research and enterprise support. Expect a reliability-driven culture focused on node performance, security auditing and enabling institutions to participate in proof-of-stake networks with managed controls.
