# StakeCore

> StakeCore runs blockchain node infrastructure. Validator duty and core
> protocol signing on the Flare, Songbird, and Avalanche networks are what it
> carries today; the cluster is general-purpose and not tied to those chains or
> to validating roles. Delegation is non-custodial: tokens never leave the
> holder's wallet, and every published figure is on-chain.

StakeCore operates a self-hosted, geographically distributed Nomad cluster
spread across three infrastructure providers in two continents. Workloads are
containerised jobs, so any network's client — validator, protocol signer, RPC
or archive node, indexer, relayer, attestation service — is a job
specification rather than a new build, and any worker node can host any of
them. The three networks listed below are the ones live today, not the limit of
what the cluster runs. The website at
https://stakecore.org is a client-rendered single-page app on a hash router, so
the markdown files below — not the HTML — are the readable surface for anything
that does not execute JavaScript. Live figures on the protocol pages come from
the public backend API; the mirrors describe the protocols and link to the
pages rather than freezing numbers that change every 10 to 30 seconds.

## Pages

- [StakeCore](/index.md): Delegation totals, delegator counts, and recent on-chain activity across all three networks.
- [About](/about.md): Who StakeCore serves, how the infrastructure is built, why it is not tied to any particular chain or node role, and why delegation carries a risk profile close to holding.
- [News](/news.md): Dated announcements — software released, changes on the networks StakeCore runs, and incidents worth recording.
- [Contact](/contact.md): How to reach the team, including the Telegram channel and the operating company.

## Protocols

- [Flare Systems Protocol](/flare/fsp.md): FTSO, Fast Updates, and FDC signing on Flare, rewarded per 3.5-day epoch.
- [Songbird Systems Protocol](/songbird/fsp.md): The same protocol stack on Songbird, Flare's canary network.
- [Flare Validator](/flare/validator.md): Snowball consensus staking on Flare, with rewards bound to FSP performance.
- [Avalanche Validator](/avalanche/validator.md): Snowball consensus staking on Avalanche, rewarded from network inflation.

## Products

Software StakeCore builds and runs in public. These are separate applications
rather than pages of this site: both are client-rendered, and neither has a
markdown mirror or a public API.

- [FAsset 3D Visualiser](https://fasset.stakecore.org): Live 3D view of Flare's FAsset protocol — every FXRP agent's backing capacity and status, with each mint and redeem as it happens, rendered from live protocol state.
- [FAsset 3D Visualiser on Coston2](https://fasset-coston2.stakecore.org): The same view against the Coston2 test network.
