Identification
Ebunker is one of the world’s top ten Ethereum staking providers, currently operating over 420,000 ETH across 10,000+ validators, representing over 1 percent of all staked ETH. As a long-standing infrastructure partner to Lido, Ether.fi, SSV Network, Obol, and multiple AVS ecosystems, we specialize in high-availability, institutional-grade validation infrastructure throughout APAC and Europe.
We operate a multi-client, multi-region staking architecture with proven reliability, supporting thousands of validators for institutional clients, listed companies, and funds. Ebunker consistently ranks among the top 15 globally in EF Rated Effectiveness, exceeding the network average by approximately 1.5 percent — reflecting our strong operational discipline and long-term commitment to performance.
With deep experience across DVT networks (SSV/Obol), restaking, and AVS operations, Ebunker is well positioned to contribute meaningful scale and resilience to the Lido v3 stVaults framework.
We are requesting identification as a Tier 1 stVault Professional Operator.
Business Case
Ebunker’s business focus for stVaults is to serve the growing demand from institutions and professional clients seeking trusted operators capable of providing dedicated, customizable staking environments.
Many of our users require validator setups that are isolated, auditable, and directly managed by an operator they rely on for long-term operational security. stVaults enables us to meet these needs by offering configurable vaults with tailored parameters, risk profiles, and liquid options.
We anticipate steady onboarding over the first year through a combination of institutional channels, treasury clients, and existing partners in our network. stVaults will also allow us to offer liquidity-enabled staking products, leveraged strategies, and structured solutions that combine native staking rewards with stETH-based DeFi yield generation.
Ops & Decentralization
Client Diversity
Ebunker runs a fully diversified, multi-client stack across all layers to reduce correlated risk and ensure continuity during client incidents:
-
EL: Geth + Nethermind
-
CL: Prysm + Lighthouse
-
VC: Prysm + Lighthouse
-
MEV: mev-boost + commit-boost
We also operate DVT clusters on SSV and Obol (Charon) to eliminate single-operator points of failure.
Infrastructure Footprint
We use a hybrid architecture with high-performance bare-metal as the primary environment and cloud servers for redundancy and rapid scaling. This provides low latency, stable attestation performance, and predictable failover.
Geo & Jurisdictional Distribution
Validators are primarily deployed in Singapore, with additional nodes in France, Germany, and other standby regions to reduce the risk of regional or ISP-level correlated downtime.
High Availability
We maintain redundancy at every layer through multi-region EL/CL clusters, load-balanced validator access, and DVT-based fault tolerance. This design ensures continuity during hardware failures, network instability, or datacenter outages.
Monitoring & Incident Response
Our operations run continuous telemetry and 24/7 alerting across EL/CL/VC layers, with immediate escalation for anomalies and global on-call coverage (APAC + EU). Infrastructure-as-Code supports deterministic recovery and consistent deployments.
MEV Posture
Ebunker supports mev-boost and commit-boost using reputable, censorship-minimizing relays. We maintain builder diversity, avoid proprietary extraction strategies, and follow PBS best practices to keep MEV operations transparent, neutral, and stable.
