OnFinality Powers ZenChain Station’s New Validator Node Deployment
ZenChain’s launch of their new validator node deployment service shows the power of OnFinality’s blockchain infrastructure platform. With ZenChain’s intuitive user interface, users can now deploy and manage validator nodes on the ZenChain network in just seconds - all made possible by a deep integration with OnFinality.
OnFinality delivers easy-to-use, reliable and scalable API endpoints for the biggest blockchain networks and empowering developers to automatically test, deploy, scale and monitor their own blockchain nodes in minutes. In this Customer Case Study we dive into the powerful validator deployment flow built by ZenChain station.
What is ZenChain?
ZenChain is the first fully decentralised and EVM-compatible Bitcoin Layer 1 solution, designed to leverage Bitcoin’s robust network for secure cross-chain interactions. By integrating with both the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems, ZenChain enhances the capabilities of decentralised applications and smart contracts, allowing developers to build solutions that benefit from the security and established infrastructure of Bitcoin while enjoying the flexibility of Ethereum's ecosystem.
ZenChain Station is a product built by ZenChain which makes it easy to deploy your nodes with OnFinality’s APIs as the backbone.
Deploy ZenChain Validators in Seconds
One of OnFinality’s core products is quick and easy validator setup and management, a service used by hundreds of node runners globally. ZenChain wanted to take this a step further, with a white-labelled, user-friendly portal — ZenChain Station. This is an excellent example of a partnership that combines both OnFinality's expertise in infrastructure and ZenChains user friendly approach to build an easy to use solution that automates validator setup.
Node runners in the ZenChain ecosystem can now use the ZenChain Station portal to deploy and fully configure a validator on-chain using OnFinality’s infrastructure backbone. OnFinality's excellent node management APIs handle validator node provisioning and lifecycle management. Additionally, OnFinality's suite of monitoring and alerting tools are used to ensure that validators launched this way on the ZenChain app run smoothly and efficiently.
This partnership combines the strength of both teams, OnFinality’s expertise in node management, and ZenChain’s focus on intuitive user experiences for their ecosystem, to build a magical experience for node runners.
“Validators are a key pillar to the success of our chain so it’s critical that we make their onboarding and operational experience as seamless as possible. OnFinality gives us the confidence and tools to do this.” Padgett Ong, Lead Protocol Engineer at ZenChain
