Testimonials from our partners

H2O Nodes has been a strong contributor to Lido as a Node Operator within the Simple DVT module on mainnet and testnet. The team consistently shows strong performance and responsiveness, and has demonstrated expertise utilizing both Obol and SSV Network based DVT. I look forward to seeing the continued growth of H2O Nodes over the coming years.

Max and team at H2O are experts on all things related to Nodes. They were instrumental in providing us with critical feedback related to Scale3’s node monitoring product, Autopilot. If you are staking or interested in staking, you should definitely reach out to them.
