The funding represents a significant step in Crouton Digital’s transition from a validator-focused operator into a full-spectrum Web3 infrastructure provider. The company plans to broaden its product suite to include public and private RPC endpoints, archive nodes, and Node-as-a-Service (NaaS). These services are designed to support high-throughput, low-latency workloads for decentralized applications, governance systems, and protocol teams. Crouton Digital operates a reliable validator and node infrastructure across 45+ networks and participates in validator alignment programs for next-generation protocols, including 0G, Monad, Starknet, Somnia Network, Story Protocol, IOTA, and Walrus.
Beyond validation, Crouton Digital provides public and private RPC endpoints, archive nodes, and NaaS solutions built to support high request throughput and mission-critical workloads. These services power decentralized applications, governance systems, and internal tooling for protocol teams and enterprises. The company also offers institutional and retail staking programs tailored for funds, custodians, and treasury operators, with delegation infrastructure, white-label validator setups, and operational reporting designed to meet institutional expectations. Security and operational reliability remain core pillars of Crouton Digital’s infrastructure strategy, with hardened, bare-metal environments and high-availability architecture designed to meet institutional operational standards.
Crouton Digital holds a verified AAA reliability and security rating (VSP) from Staking Rewards, reflecting consistent validator performance and long-term operational stability across multiple blockchain networks. In 2025, Crouton Digital raised $1 million in strategic funding to support the expansion of its global infrastructure footprint, the rollout of RPC, node infrastructure, and institutional staking services, and continued investment in internal tooling, while initiating SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification processes to formalize security, compliance, and governance for enterprise partners. Crouton Digital’s mission is to make decentralized networks as reliable and accountable as traditional financial systems, a goal pursued by combining engineering precision, operational discipline, and long-term ecosystem alignment. Looking ahead, the company plans to scale multi-region validator operations and expand its enterprise-grade NaaS and staking offerings, alongside advancing observability and automated reliability to support the next phase of institutional Web3 adoption.
