Alongside today’s funding announcement, InfStones is launching a new easy-to-use front-end user interface that lets clients deploy nodes within minutes.
New Interface
Available now are public and dedicated API gateways and node management services, all of which are accessible via a self-service portal.

“With InfStones, we’re offering a powerful, scalable self-service staking platform that makes it incredibly easy for users to deploy and manage nodes on any blockchain. Our goal is to bring the AWS experience to Web3 so developers and companies can more easily offer staking services to their users and customers.”
