Node Studio Program 2: Official Launch

We’re excited to announce the official kickoff of Node Studio Program #2 (NSP#2) — an initiative designed to expand NEAR Protocol’s validator ecosystem and strengthen decentralization.

A total of 64 new nodes have been successfully onboarded through NSP#2. Participants include communities, startups, companies, and long-time builders from both within and beyond the NEAR ecosystem.

With this new cohort, NEAR has now reached an all-time high of ~370 active validators, marking a significant milestone toward greater decentralization and demonstrating how running a validator is becoming one of the easiest and most impactful ways to join the NEAR ecosystem.

Each participant in the program received a minimum delegation of 40,000 NEAR tokens, while the integration with mpDAO’s liquid staking on NEAR enables them to scale their stake and participation even further.

A key ally in making this possible is Node Studio, the platform that simplifies validator onboarding with competitive pricing, non-custodial infrastructure, and streamlined setup, lowering the barriers for anyone interested in contributing to NEAR’s network security and governance.
