This week DIN spotlights Simply Staking, a professional blockchain infrastructure company with more than seven years of production experience. The team secures $1B+ in assets across 40+ networks and works with recognized names across the ecosystem, including Cosmos SDK, Chainlink, Fuel Labs, and Babylon. Beyond validation, Simply Staking operates a full suite of infrastructure products such as Spectrum Nodes, which handles 1B+ daily API requests across 170+ networks. Becoming a DIN Provider was a natural fit with their belief that RPC should never be a centralized bottleneck.

About Simply Staking

Simply Staking started with professional validator operations and expanded methodically into staking infrastructure, node services, and developer tooling. Their approach is simple: pair seasoned operations with transparent, measurable reliability. The company’s portfolio now includes:

• Staking and yield primitives that secure networks and simplify participation for institutions.

• Custom infrastructure for networks and enterprises that need tailored deployments.

• DEPIN and AI infrastructure that pairs decentralized compute and data with emerging AI workloads.

• Consensus layer operations that emphasize resilient validator and node reliability.

• Execution layer services including RPC and higher level methods, delivered with strategic APIs, integrations, and observability.

This breadth lets the team meet projects at any point in the adoption curve, from early testnets to scaled mainnets.

Why DIN

Traditional RPC often relies on a single centralized operator, which creates downtime and censorship risk. Purely decentralized approaches can struggle with coordination, performance, and support. DIN bridges this gap by combining professional operators with EigenLayer-backed SLAs and slashing. Providers are held to verifiable, economic guarantees on uptime and responsiveness, while builders gain a permissionless way to access multiple providers through a single integration. For Simply Staking, that balance of performance, accountability, and openness is the right path to real decentralization.

Networks Live on DIN

Hemi is live today (in DIN testing), with additional networks on the way. Simply Staking prioritizes ecosystems where robust infrastructure and experienced operations have an outsized impact on developer experience. As demand grows, they will expand coverage to high-value networks that benefit from low-latency, high-uptime RPC backed by DIN’s performance expectations.

Spectrum Nodes and Developer Experience

Spectrum Nodes is Simply Staking’s production-grade API layer that processes 1B+ daily requests across 170+ networks. It was built to be predictable under load, observable in real time, and easy to integrate. That same philosophy informs their DIN deployments:

• Metrics and alerting map cleanly to DIN’s performance standards.

• Capacity planning is informed by live traffic profiles and error budgets.

• Operational playbooks keep recovery times short and regional redundancy high.

The result is an experience that feels enterprise-ready while remaining credibly neutral and decentralized.

Operational Impact and Revenue

DIN gives Simply Staking a new avenue to scale RPC alongside staking. Onboarding was clear, documentation was strong, and collaboration with other providers opened new opportunities to extend reach. Just as important, DIN’s verifiable standards encouraged deeper investment in monitoring, resiliency, and SRE processes. That lifts quality for all customers, not only DIN traffic, while diversifying revenue with transparent, performance-linked incentives.

Learnings and Early Wins

Two themes stand out:

• Speed of evolution. DIN moved quickly from concept to an EigenLayer-secured marketplace with active providers and testnet activity.

• Community alignment. The provider community is collaborative and solution-oriented. Open discussions around routing, observability, and SLAs have turned DIN into more than a gateway. It is an ecosystem of aligned operators improving reliability together.

Perspective on the Future

Simply Staking believes decentralized infrastructure is foundational for the next decade of Web3. Without it, the industry risks repeating Web2’s single-point-of-failure patterns. With DIN, infrastructure is not only about uptime. It is about economic guarantees, diversity of providers, and transparent performance. That combination unlocks better user experiences for dApps and a more resilient backbone for the entire ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

• Expand DIN coverage to additional high-value networks as adoption grows.

• Contribute operational feedback and tooling to strengthen DIN’s EigenLayer-backed SLAs and enforcement.

• Continue investing in Spectrum Nodes and related developer tooling so teams can scale from first deploy to global traffic with confidence.
