Invest in Edgevana
Global marketplace that promotes decentralization
“Edgevana has a seamless validator onboarding experience in addition to locations and networks that will truly promote decentralization in the Solana network.”, said Dan Albert, Executive Director, on Solana's partnership with Edgevana. Web3 is too complicated and expensive, making it highly inaccessible for the masses.

Problem
Participating in Web3 is a highly technical and manual process
The complexity, technical knowledge, time, and money involved in becoming a validator severely limits participation. Service providers such as Blockdaemon, Figment, or Coinbase Cloud centralize protocols, by offering their services on public cloud at a higher price point with lower APY. This can cause a possible single point of failure that can bring down these protocols if cloud providers go offline or outright ban the use of cryptocurrencies on their platforms. Furthermore, no software platforms or automation tools provide a frictionless experience for participants and protocols. These issues make it challenging for protocols to scale in the current Web3 environment.
Solution
Meet Edgevana: Accelerate growth for Web3 blockchain infrastructure
Edgevana allows protocols to focus on their Blockchains while providing a no-code one-click deploy marketplace that allows anyone to participate in one or multiple protocols regardless of their technical know-how. The company automates the process of scaling, attracting, and onboarding validators while providing community insights and analytics as well as true decentralization to their networks.
Product
Platform provides agility, scale, and economics that appeal to Web3 deployments
Edgevana's unique done-for-you (DFY) solution takes the complexity and time out of node operator onboarding. Combining pre-configured, best in class server hardware, with highly secure, data center facilities and a simple month-to-month contract lets node operators be ready within hours, not weeks.
Edgevana's clients can select and optimize best in class server hardware from market leading OEM partners such as Dell, Lenovo, SuperMicro, Intel and AMD.
Edgevana's clients are also able to pre-position protocol-ready compute and storage in the company's highly secure data center and edge facilities. They can distribute nodes as diversely as possible to ensure highly distributed, high performance censorship resistant, and secure node networks.
Finally, Edgevana partners with customers to ensure its blockchain infrastructure is always operator-ready. Just as hardware can be benchmarked and optimized for speed, performance, and scalability, pre-configuration assures complex scripts and configurations are properly loaded, tested and quality assured.
Traction
Rising adoption among blockchain platforms and operator node communities
Edgevana's contract with Solana has resulted in the deployment of 500 validators for $12M, scaling 30% MoM. The company deployed 500 nodes in 20 different data centers in 19 different countries. Edgevana has access to 60K locations within the US and 40K locations internationally with more being added. After gaining Solana's trust, it expects to receive revenue opportunities of up to $80M in the near future. Additionally, Filecoin and Aptos, two big players in the space, are in the pipeline.
Business model
Diverse revenue streams increase visibility in different markets
Edgevana meets the speed, scale, security and resilience needs of the world’s fastest growing blockchain protocol operators, NFT providers and enterprises adopting decentralized ledger technologies. This results in many revenue opportunities. Some of the key ones are:
Edgevana Platform: Gives access to one-click deploy features, analytics, recommendation engines, and premium insights into the community and protocols
Edgevana Deployment Program: Automates access to hardware, data center, and bandwidth
Fractional Validation Marketplace: Offers a new way for participants with limited knowledge and funds to participate in Web3
Licensing: Provides one-click software programs for bare metal and data center companies
Market
$80B total addressable market
The Web3 market has been projected to hit $80B by the end of 2030. Blockchain has been a proven technology that ensured the security of crypto and NFTs to the next level — now, it's ready to ultimately reimagine the next generation of web technologies.
Edgevana is poised to take advantage of this trend by streamlining the adoption of edge computing for Web3 companies.
Competition
Highly defensible moat protects market position
Edgevana has protocol-specific exclusive data center and edge location deals that give it a huge leg up over new entrants. Some other competitive advantages include:
First fully automated validator onboarding platform for protocols
First protocol ecosystem marketplace to connect protocols with participants
First to offer fractional validation technology
Vision and strategy
Edgevana has a clear business strategy
Founders
Meet the Team
Edgevana's team consists of former executives from leading organizations, including Gartner, VMWare, Ericsson, HP, EMC, Pure Storage, and Nutanix. The team is seasoned and well-positioned to execute in their market which will exponentially grow as Web3 scales and as Web2 natives begin to participate in the future of the internet.
