In a strategic move to deepen its footprint across the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape, leading venture fund Node Capital—part of the broader Node Group—today announced the launch of a new liquid fund dedicated to liquid tokens and on‑chain strategies. The announcement coincides with a major milestone for Node Group’s staking arm, Node Monster, which has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) across more than 20 blockchain networks.
Milestone Achievement for Node Monster
Node Monster’s ascent to the $1 billion mark in locked assets underscores its position as one of the largest Ethereum validators in the industry. By supporting staking and restaking protocols on networks ranging from Ethereum and Polygon to newer proof‑of‑stake chains, Node Monster has demonstrated both technical prowess and market trust. This achievement not only bolsters Node Group’s reputation but also provides a robust foundation for its newly announced liquid fund.
A New Chapter: The Liquid Fund
While Node Capital’s existing on‑chain investments total roughly $50 million—spanning projects like Ether.fi, Fhenix, Squid, and IKA—the new liquid fund expands the firm’s remit beyond traditional staking ventures. The fund will invest in a diversified mix of liquid tokens and yield‑generating on‑chain strategies, enabling quicker capital deployment and enhanced portfolio flexibility.
Node Capital Founding Partner Amos Meiri said, “The new fund allows us to broaden our remit and look for opportunities that extend beyond staking to include the full spectrum of Web3 verticals. With the ability to draw upon the expertise and experience of our sister companies, Node Capital can provide significant value-add to the projects it incubates. This will enable them to realize their full potential while advancing Web3 innovation for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Leveraging the Node Ecosystem
Node Group’s comprehensive Web3 services ecosystem—anchored by Node Monster’s staking capabilities—is further strengthened by two key sister companies:
- Node Security: A blockchain security firm specializing in smart contract audits, vulnerability assessments, and incident response. By safeguarding decentralized applications and infrastructure, Node Security ensures that Node Capital’s portfolio companies operate on a foundation of trust and resilience.
- Node Link: A community and growth accelerator that empowers founders and projects through organic community initiatives, strategic social guidance, and ambassador sourcing. Node Link’s tailored approach helps early‑stage protocols build engaged user bases and navigate the complex dynamics of Web3 ecosystems.
This integrated approach allows Node Capital to offer more than just capital—it delivers a full suite of operational, security, and growth services designed to accelerate protocol development and adoption.
A Hands‑On, Thesis‑Driven Strategy
Since its inception, Node Capital has embraced a thesis‑driven investment model focused on long‑term value creation in Web3 infrastructure and decentralized protocols. Beyond providing financial backing, the firm’s partners often assume active roles in emerging networks, addressing technical challenges and shaping token economics. With Node Monster’s validator expertise, Node Capital can assist teams during critical network bootstrapping phases—ensuring smooth launches and robust security from day one.
Looking Ahead
While the Web3 sector matures, liquid capital and dynamic on‑chain strategies are increasingly vital for projects seeking rapid iteration and market responsiveness. Node Capital’s new liquid fund is poised to capture these opportunities, leveraging Node Group’s proven track record in staking, security, and community building. With over $1 billion already staked and a rapidly expanding service suite, Node Group is set to play a central role in shaping the next generation of decentralized innovation.
