Riga, Latvia 2025 – Crouton Digital, a blockchain infrastructure company serving institutional and enterprise clients, announced the completion of a $1 million strategic funding round aimed at accelerating global infrastructure expansion and launching next-generation RPC, node management, and institutional staking services. The company also confirmed the start of SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 certification initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to enterprise security, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability.
This capital raise represents a key inflexion point in Crouton Digital’s transformation from a validator-centric operator into a comprehensive full-stack Web3 infrastructure platform, delivering scalable, high-performance services to blockchain protocols, digital asset managers, and institutional partners across more than 45 distributed ledger ecosystems.
Infrastructure Engineered for Performance and Uptime
As part of its expansion roadmap, Crouton Digital is broadening its technology offerings to include public and private RPC gateways, blockchain archive node solutions, and Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) platforms. These products are built to handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads required by decentralised applications, governance frameworks, and protocol development teams.
Infrastructure health and performance are continuously monitored through internal:
- Operational dashboards
- Telemetry and observability systems
- Real-time performance analytics tools
The company deploys bare-metal hardware across multiple geographic regions, ensuring redundancy, fault tolerance, and stable service delivery during peak demand, network congestion, and protocol upgrades.
Validator Infrastructure and Protocol Ecosystem Engagement
Crouton Digital maintains a high-availability validator and node infrastructure across more than 45 blockchain ecosystems and actively participates in early-access and invitation-based validator programs for emerging protocols, including:
- 0G
- Monad
- Starknet
- Somnia Network
- Story Protocol
- IOTA
- Walrus
Participation in these initiatives demonstrates Crouton Digital’s technical capability, operational consistency, and long-term alignment with protocol foundations. The company supports networks throughout critical lifecycle stages, including incentivised testnets, mainnet launches, and governance activation, ensuring stable validator uptime and dependable network performance during rapid ecosystem growth.
RPC, NaaS, and Institutional Staking Services
Beyond validator operations, Crouton Digital delivers scalable RPC infrastructure, secure public and private node endpoints, blockchain archive hosting, and Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions designed to support enterprise-grade workloads and mission-critical applications. These services enable decentralised applications, governance platforms, and enterprise tooling to operate with efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
The company also offers institutional and retail staking programs tailored for funds, custodians, and treasury operators. Solutions include delegation systems, white-label validator deployments, and structured operational reporting designed to meet the transparency, performance, and compliance expectations of institutional clients.
Security Standards, Reliability, and Industry Recognition
Security, risk management, and operational resilience remain foundational pillars of Crouton Digital’s infrastructure strategy. The company operates hardened bare-metal environments reinforced by zero-trust access controls, role-based identity management, layered cybersecurity defences, and high-availability architectural frameworks designed to meet stringent institutional and enterprise-grade operational requirements.
Crouton Digital has earned a verified AAA reliability and security rating (VSP) from Staking Rewards, underscoring its sustained validator uptime, infrastructure robustness, service continuity, and long-term operational excellence across a diverse range of blockchain ecosystems.
To further elevate its enterprise security posture, Crouton Digital has initiated SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 certification programs. These initiatives are intended to formalise governance and risk frameworks, strengthen internal security policies, enhance audit-ready compliance processes, and align information security management systems with the growing regulatory and institutional demands of funds, custodians, and enterprise partners.
Expansion Strategy and Long-Term Vision
In 2025, Crouton Digital secured $1 million in strategic capital to accelerate global infrastructure expansion, scale RPC and node service capabilities, advance institutional staking product development, and continue investing in proprietary engineering tools, automation pipelines, and reliability optimisation systems.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand multi-region validator operations, strengthen enterprise-grade Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) and staking offerings, and further develop observability frameworks, fault-tolerance mechanisms, and automated reliability tooling to support the next phase of institutional Web3 adoption and large-scale decentralised infrastructure growth.
Powering the Foundation of Web3 Infrastructure
Crouton Digital’s mission is to make decentralised networks as dependable, transparent, and accountable as traditional financial systems. By combining engineering excellence, operational discipline, and long-term ecosystem collaboration, the company continues to build infrastructure trusted by protocols, funds, and institutional partners to safeguard capital, reputation, and mission-critical blockchain operations.
