Overview
Staking with Launchnodes
Launchnodes CSM Node operation is easy and cost-effective using AWS. Run your CSM validator nodes in your AWS infrastructure while connecting to Launchnodes' MEV-enabled Beacon and Execution layer clients. This removes the technical complexity and cost barrier associated with becoming a Lido Community Staking Module (CSM) node operator. Launchnodes Beacon nodes run MEV Boost and are connected to profitable, non-censoring relays. This setup streamlines node operation, maximizes staking rewards, and supports Lido's goal of decentralizing Ethereum staking. The Lido Community Staking Module allows individual validators and node operators to contribute directly to the Lido network. Launchnodes' CSM solution addresses high cost and complexity challenges through an easy-to-use UI that removes the need for blockchain expertise or command-line interface (CLI). You deploy validator nodes in your own AWS account, giving you exclusive access and control, while Launchnodes manages high-performance execution and consensus clients.

ECS Container
- Amazon ECS
Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
