Why Run an XRP Ledger Validator?
XRPL validators do more than secure consensus. They give you direct access to live ledger data, a vote in protocol governance, and a trusted presence in the ecosystem.
Live Data Access
Query accounts, submit transactions, and fetch live ledger data directly from your own validator. No third-party dependencies.
Vote on Amendments
Have a direct say in protocol upgrades. Your validator votes on proposed changes to the XRP Ledger.
Secure the Network
Participate in consensus and validate transactions. Every trusted validator strengthens XRPL decentralization.
Build Trust
Become a recognized entity in the ecosystem. Reliable validators earn a place on Unique Node Lists (UNLs) over time.
Running a Validator Is Not Trivial
Always-On Requirement
Validators must maintain near-perfect uptime. Downtime erodes trust and can result in removal from UNLs.
Complex Operations
Managing rippled upgrades, key rotation, UNL migration, peering configuration, and database tuning requires deep XRPL expertise.
No Room for Error
A misconfigured validator can fork from consensus or get amendment-blocked. Recovery requires immediate, expert intervention.
We Handle Everything
From hardware to upgrades, monitoring to key management. Your validator runs reliably while you focus on what matters.
Dedicated Infrastructure
Your validator runs on isolated, high-performance hardware in enterprise-grade data centers across multiple regions.
24/7 Monitoring and Alerting
Continuous health checks, ledger sync monitoring, and automated alerting. We detect and resolve issues before they affect consensus.
Managed Upgrades
We handle rippled version upgrades, UNL migrations, and amendment tracking. Your validator stays current without your team lifting a finger.
Secure Key Management
Validator keys generated and stored securely. Token rotation handled on schedule. Your signing keys never touch an insecure environment.
Optimal Peering
Pre-configured peering with well-connected XRPL nodes for fast consensus propagation and minimal validation latency.
Uptime SLA
We target 99.9%+ uptime with failover procedures in place. Your validator's reputation is our priority.
Built for Teams That Care About the XRPL

Frequently Asked Questions
Do XRPL validators earn staking rewards?
No. The XRP Ledger uses a consensus protocol, not proof-of-stake. Validators don't earn block rewards or staking yields. The value of running a validator is governance participation, network influence, and trust within the ecosystem.
What is a Unique Node List (UNL)?
A UNL is a list of validators that an XRPL server trusts for consensus. Being included in a widely-used UNL means your validator directly influences which transactions are confirmed. Earning a UNL spot requires consistent uptime and reliability over time.
Do I need technical expertise to run a managed validator?
No. We handle all technical operations including setup, configuration, upgrades, monitoring, and key management. You retain control over governance decisions like amendment voting.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on your requirements including redundancy, region, and support level. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Can I vote on XRPL amendments with a managed validator?
Yes. You retain full control over amendment voting. We execute the configuration changes on your behalf based on your decisions.
How long does it take to get on a UNL?
UNL inclusion is not guaranteed and depends on the validator's track record. Typically, it requires months of consistent, reliable operation. We optimize your validator's configuration and uptime to give you the best chance.
