Winter Validator — Mina Protocol Staking

Redundant nodes

Independent infrastructure, same key — one node down never means you stop producing.

24/7

Monitoring & alerting

Sync status, peer count, slot assignments watched continuously with automated alerts.

Slashing incidents

Clean track record. Security-first key management and careful operations.

100%

Self-operated

No third-party staking-as-a-service. We run our own hardware and pick up the pager ourselves.

Install a Mina walletAuro Wallet or Cloria — both support staking delegation.
Open the staking sectionChoose "Change delegation" / "Stake delegation".
Paste our key aboveConfirm the transaction. No funds leave your wallet — delegation is non-custodial.
Wait 2 epochsYour stake becomes active after the next epoch boundary; rewards follow from the epoch after.

Delegation on Mina is fully non-custodial — you keep control of your funds at all times.

02Infrastructure

4 block producer nodes — distributed across separate hosts & networks, identical state, synchronized
Mina daemon — mainnet, kept current with stable releases
No SNARK workers on BP nodes — block production is never competing for CPU with SNARK proving
Automated alerts — sync loss, peer drops, missed slot risk → we know within minutes
Devnet test node — we validate upgrades on devnet before touching mainnet
Status: all systems operational

03Who we are

Winter Validator is a small independent operator focused on one chain and doing it well: Mina. We're builders and sysadmins first — low fees, honest communication, and the kind of uptime you only get from people who actually enjoy running nodes.
