1- Identification

Founded in Argentina, SenseiNode is Latin America’s leading blockchain infrastructure provide. With over 225,000 ETH under management and SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, we manage 8000+ validators across 35 protocols. SenseiNode delivers secure, high-performance, and geographically diverse infrastructure that powers decentralization and institutional growth.

Since 2023, we have been part of the Lido ecosystem as part of the curated node operator set, actively participating in initiatives such as early pilots with DVT and on the SimpleDVT module.

2- Business Case
SenseiNode is applying for the Professional Trusted Operator role with a clear goal: accelerate stVault adoption across Latin America by combining infrastructure reliability with active institutional distribution.

Our relationships with asset managers, exchanges, fintech platforms, and family offices across the region give us a direct channel to bring stVaults to an audience that global operators rarely reach. We are already in conversations with several of these clients around compliant, yield-generating staking strategies and Lido V3’s modular design maps well to what they need.

Beyond client onboarding, we bring a demand-generation angle. Through partnerships with DeFi platforms and institutional brokers, we are building distribution pipelines on markets that are usually unattended.

3-Operations and Decentralization

SenseiNode maintains a global operational footprint with deep expertise in the LATAM region, spanning over 16 countries across every continent. Our commitment to security is backed by ISO27001 certification and SOC-2 Type II compliant, ensuring all processes adhere to the highest industry standards.

To foster true network resilience, our infrastructure is strategically distributed across a diverse mix of tier-1 local and regional data centers and cloud providers. This multi-vendor approach eliminates single points of failure and promotes geographic decentralization, while minimizing exposure to global datacenters failures.

Having operated within the Lido ecosystem for over three years, we prioritize a balance of diversity, decentralization, and performance. Our technical architecture currently supports:

  • Consensus Clients: A healthy mix of Lighthouse and Nimbus.

  • Execution Layers: Geth and Nethermind.

  • MEV Strategy: Use of multiple relays to prioritize neutrality while maximizing resilience and rewards, adhering to the Lido Relay Maintenance Committee’s allowlist, primarily Flashbots & Ultrasound

  • DVT Innovation: Full support for Distributed Validator Technology via Obol and SSV.

All operations are monitored 24/7, supported by robust automated alerting and escalation protocols to guarantee industry-leading uptime and efficiency.
