What Is Allnodes? Non-Custodial Node Hosting and Staking

Who runs Allnodes

Allnodes presents itself as a single brand at allnodes.com, with a copyright line on the site dating back to 2018. Its chief executive, according to his Cointelegraph contributor profile, is Konstantin Boyko-Romanovsky, who previously spent more than a decade in the video game industry. (Cointelegraph author page) Allnodes is listed as an integration partner in Avalanche's developer documentation, described there as a non-custodial platform for hosting nodes and staking.

What Allnodes does

Hosted nodes. A customer chooses a network, picks a plan and Allnodes deploys and maintains the node: client software, updates, monitoring and uptime. This covers validators on proof-of-stake chains, masternodes on networks that use them, and full nodes for developers or projects that need their own endpoint. Ethereum validator hosting starts at $5 per month, according to Allnodes' billing FAQ.

Delegated staking. On many networks a token holder can delegate to an Allnodes-run validator from their own wallet, without hosting anything. Allnodes publishes step-by-step guides for 35 assets, including ATOM, ADA, AVAX, DOT, SOL, NEAR, SUI, TIA, INJ and DYDX. (Allnodes staking guides)

Infrastructure extras. Dedicated Solana servers, bare-metal hosting, a portfolio dashboard, address monitoring, and a notification bot that sends node alerts to Telegram, Discord or Slack. PublicNode provides free RPC endpoints and chain snapshots.

Hosting plans and billing

Allnodes sells hosting on three tiers. As of October 2026 its help center describes them this way:

Sources: The difference between hosting plans, Billing FAQ.

Example prices from the billing FAQ: Ethereum validator from $5/month, Bitcoin full node from $100/month, Ethereum full node from $160/month. The pricing page lists, for example, a 0g full node at $320/month on Advanced and $640/month on Enterprise. Prices may change without notice.

Payment methods: credit cards including Apple Pay, PayPal, crypto (including BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC and USDT), Alipay and bank transfer. Credits can take up to 60 minutes to appear.

Refunds: setup fees and Basic-plan prepayments are non-refundable under Allnodes' terms, so test on an hourly plan first if unsure.

Staking fees: read the per-asset page

The Allnodes homepage advertises "0% fees" for staking, while its Ethereum staking page shows a 10% fee on rewards as of October 2026. The two are not necessarily contradictory: a zero platform fee can sit alongside a validator commission taken from rewards. The figure that applies is the one displayed for the specific asset and product. Network transaction fees are paid separately in every case.

Pooled ETH staking. Allnodes lets users stake from 0.01 ETH by connecting a wallet such as Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or Trust. The help article notes that the ETH is sent from the user's wallet to a staking smart contract (0x1b3ce55dde0e0d4b9a200855406e7b14334c10b0), which means smart-contract risk applies even though Allnodes describes the service as non-custodial.

Custody, slashing and risk

Allnodes does not take custody of customer funds in its hosted-node model, but it does run the signing infrastructure, which is where the risks sit:

• Slashing. All plans include basic Ethereum slashing insurance, which applies only if no more than 100 Allnodes nodes are slashed within 24 hours. A larger correlated event falls outside that cover. Enterprise customers can buy external insurance at extra cost.
• Downtime. SLAs range from 99.00% to 99.98%; missed duties reduce rewards.
• Validator keys. For Cosmos-style chains, Allnodes publishes a separate article on key management for Tendermint-based validators; customers should read it before migrating an existing validator.
• Smart contracts for pooled products, as noted above.

StakeRecover. For Cosmos-based chains, Allnodes offers a service that tries to rescue unbonding stake from a compromised wallet by submitting the withdrawal the moment unbonding ends, before an attacker can. The regular service is free; a premium service takes 10% of recovered funds, or 15% if the stake was added after undelegation began. Allnodes states success is not guaranteed. (StakeRecover)

Exiting an Ethereum validator

Exits are user-initiated and irreversible. A hosted Ethereum validator needs execution-layer (0x01) withdrawal credentials before it can exit; the change from 0x00 is one-time and cannot be redirected later, and Allnodes advises against using an exchange deposit address. To exit, the customer chooses "Voluntary exit" in the portfolio dashboard and signs a message with the withdrawal address. The dashboard then shows three timers: the exit queue, the withdrawable epoch (when duties and Allnodes billing stop) and the withdrawal date. (Ethereum withdrawals)

Support

Allnodes runs a help center at help.allnodes.com/en/ with billing, validator and staking guides, and lists [email protected] as its support email. Because funds stay in customer wallets, support cannot move or recover them; never share a mnemonic or private key with anyone claiming to be Allnodes staff.

OBOL's assessment of the service is in OBOL's Allnodes staking review; other providers are compared on the staking ratings hub.
