NodeOps, the decentralized compute coordination platform trusted by top-tier protocols and institutions, has received a grant from the Arbitrum Foundation to accelerate the growth of verifiable, enterprise-grade infrastructure within the Arbitrum ecosystem. NodeOps will launch an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 chain, acting as an Orchestration Layer to coordinate and verify compute workloads across decentralized environments.
Raising the Bar for Institutional-Grade Compute
The promise of rollups, AI agents, and high-throughput onchain applications has always been bottlenecked by fragmented, opaque, and often centralized infrastructure. NodeOps is actively building decentralized uptime verification, automated restaking, and slashing mechanisms into its compute coordination layer, enabling onchain enforcement of reliability. Enterprises can now deploy with fine-grained templates (CPU/RAM/storage), define fault-tolerant topologies via YAML modules, and monitor performance in real-time.
With over 60,000 deployed nodes, 88,000 onboarded machines, and $150M in AUM, NodeOps isn’t a testnet experiment; it’s production-grade infrastructure with enterprise buyers already in the loop. The platform powers mission-critical workloads for projects like Beam, EigenLayer, and Avail, and is already trusted by institutional clients including Maven 11, Spartan Group, Bitscale Capital, and more.
For protocols building on Arbitrum, NodeOps brings a new layer of assurance. The project enables deterministic deployment, programmable redundancy, and transparent economics, all without vendor lock-in or opaque billing. Enterprises can define fault-tolerant compute stacks with YAML, monitor uptime in real-time, and pay using Node Credits, a USD-pegged credit system backed by a deflationary $NODE burn model.
This grant from the Arbitrum Foundation marks a significant turning point: decentralized computing is transitioning from experimentation to reliable, protocol-native deployment for enterprises.
“NodeOps brings cloud-grade reliability without centralized control,” said Vishnu Kumar, Orbit GTM Lead for Offchain Labs, the initial core developers behind Arbitrum. “NodeOps’ work opens the door for scalable, programmable infrastructure that meets the demands of institutional users, while offering transparency, permissionlessness, and verifiability.”
“Our goal is to deliver the infrastructure backbone for DePIN, AI, and financial services without vendor lock-in or black-box pricing,” said Naman, Co-founder and CEO of NodeOps. “We’re bringing the accountability of onchain coordination to the reliability of enterprise-grade compute.
