A massive crypto gathering in the capital of Texas.

Geode Finance co-founder Simon Furlong will be in Austin for the can’t-miss conference of the year.

Taking Liquid Staking to the Lone Star State

Geode’s conference journey continues, and now we’re setting our sights on Austin, Texas, for the world’s largest, longest-running, and most influential cryptocurrency gathering. Consensus 2023 is a pivotal event for professionals and builders seeking to educate, collaborate, and resolve challenges in the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Attending influential events like Consensus 2023 is essential for Geode, as it allows us to demonstrate our state-of-the-art liquid staking infrastructure solutions to a wide audience. With our upcoming launch on Ethereum, this year’s event offers an unparalleled opportunity for Geode to connect with potential partners, developers, investors, founders, and brands, and expand our reach.

A Collaborative Environment

Events like Consensus 2023 are highly valued by attendees, as they provide the perfect environment for networking and establishing stronger connections within the industry. In a space where digital communication plays such a crucial role, the opportunity to interact face-to-face is invaluable. A single meeting at Consensus can propel partnerships or investment opportunities to new heights. Participants often arrive highly motivated to forge new relationships and conduct business, making the most of their time and resources spent attending the event.

This applies to us too of course, so we are aiming to meet with as many people as possible, in order to illustrate the various benefits that Geode can provide to projects, institutions, and node operators. Our public and private staking pool architecture enables these diverse entities to reap the rewards of liquid staking, and our quick integration process ensures a seamless start.

Consensus boasts numerous stages and events covering all aspects of the blockchain industry.

Unleashing the Potential of Liquid Staking

Geode’s fully customizable staking pools not only empower organizations with sustainable revenue streams, but also enhance validator diversity on the network. Furthermore, we give pool owners full control over their staking pool, thereby eliminating the third party risks associated with centralized staking solutions. Our adaptable public and private pool architecture allows pool owners to implement restricted access, set fees, or offer their own branded liquid staking derivative token — the choice is theirs.

Geode’s public pools enable organizations to deploy their own tailored liquid staking solution, complete with control over fees, node operators, and even their own branded staking derivative. They can also choose not to offer a derivative at all. Meanwhile, Geode’s private pools provide a more secure option for projects and institutions, where only whitelisted addresses can stake, opening the door to intriguing new use cases. Private pools allow organizations to stake treasury funds, perform KYC/AML, or create exclusive staking pools while retaining full control over access.

Geode brings staking yields to your community, and unlocks new revenue streams for organizations.

Node operators also stand to benefit from Geode’s ecosystem. Our marketplace connects node operators and organizations, allowing them to find and utilize each other’s services with ease. Once integrated, node operators remain a part of Geode’s staking infrastructure, continually offering them an excellent opportunity to attract new stakes to manage. In the end, Geode’s infrastructure benefits both node operators and organizations by providing a convenient and efficient way to work together.
