WHY CHOOSE BISON TRAILS?

Our goal is for the entire blockchain ecosystem to flourish by providing robust infrastructure for the pioneers of tomorrow.

We maximize participatory reward earnings by enabling customers to easily scale their validator count and distribute stake to maximize presence in the elected validator set.

Our flexible workflow design allows customers to maintain their desired level of control without trading off security or user experience.

We run validators across all major Substrate-based chains, cross-leveraging optimizations and security practices, and test all software, infrastructure, and protocol upgrades on ourselves before pushing to our customers.
