Welcome to the inaugural series of Web3 Wednesday blog posts highlighting our DIN Partners across the Web3 Infrastructure ecosystem.

Everstake is one of our standout node providers on DIN, known for operating high-performance infrastructure across dozens of chains. With a track record of reliability and an unwavering commitment to decentralization, Everstake is helping define what it means to be a next-gen infrastructure partner in the Web3 ecosystem. Let’s dive into their story.

A Legacy of Performance, a Vision for Decentralization

Everstake isn’t new to Web3. With over six years in the game and experience running infrastructure for 85+ blockchain networks, they’ve earned a reputation as one of the largest PoS/dPoS validators and node operators in the space. Operating more than 40,000 nodes across networks, bridges, and infrastructure layers, Everstake brings unmatched scale and technical depth to DIN.

Their DIN journey began in 2023, during our early testnet phases. Drawn by our shared mission (making Web3 more accessible, reliable, and decentralized), Everstake joined as an early provider to help bootstrap a truly trustless RPC infrastructure layer. “We’ve always believed resilient, decentralized RPC infrastructure is key to Web3’s future,” the team shared. “Becoming a DIN Provider aligns with that vision.”

Bridging Traditional and Decentralized Infrastructure

What sets DIN apart? For Everstake, it's the fusion of reliability and decentralization. Traditional RPC providers often face bottlenecks from centralized control, while many decentralized models lack the operational coordination to scale. DIN bridges this divide by integrating with EigenLayer, introducing economic guarantees and cryptoeconomic accountability through slashing, staking, and service-level enforcement.

This model creates a permissionless RPC marketplace where performance isn’t just expected; it’s enforced. “DIN is not only scalable, it’s trustworthy. That’s the critical innovation.”

Supporting Scroll with High-Availability RPC

Today, Everstake provides RPC infrastructure for Scroll, a fast-growing zkEVM-based Layer 2 that demands high throughput and low latency. Everstake’s DIN-hosted Scroll RPC endpoint delivers on both fronts, offering fast, stable access for dApp developers building the next wave of zk-powered applications.

“Scroll is one of the most exciting L2s out there. Reliable RPC access is mission-critical for the ecosystem’s success,” Everstake noted. “DIN helps us ensure that access is not only performant but trustless.”

Operational Impact and Early Wins

DIN’s collaborative onboarding and standardized documentation stood out to Everstake early on. “The onboarding flow was smooth and well-structured. It helped us align quickly and set clear expectations,” the team shared. That operational clarity has made it easier to scale their participation, all while preparing for deeper integration as DIN progresses toward mainnet.

Along the way, Everstake has discovered new collaboration opportunities, especially as DIN evolves into a hub for both emerging networks and infrastructure operators. Their early involvement has positioned them at the center of a growing, economically-aligned ecosystem.

The Path Forward: Mainnet and AVS

Looking ahead, Everstake is actively participating in the DIN AVS testnet, helping validate slashing enforcement, service guarantees, and Watcher coordination mechanisms. With DIN set to launch its AVS on mainnet later this year, providers like Everstake will soon operate in a fully decentralized, permissionless framework—backed by restaked ETH and cryptoeconomic incentives.

“DIN shows that decentralization and performance don’t have to be a tradeoff. We’re proud to be helping build the infrastructure that will carry Web3 into the next decade.”

As DIN expands into more networks and rolls out its full slashing-enabled architecture, partners like Everstake are setting the benchmark for what decentralized infrastructure should look like: fast, resilient, and economically accountable.
