Nodes.garden began as a side project in which its operators set up testnet nodes by hand for friends across the crypto community, and it became a business once that favour ran as a self-serve platform. The company sells renewable subscription access to blockchain nodes: a customer connects a wallet, buys a node, and the service deploys, monitors, and updates it, leaving the buyer to contribute to a network and collect its participation rewards without running infrastructure.
Nodes.garden positions itself against developer-facing node and RPC providers, whose customers write code, and against the do-it-yourself route of renting a server and running a node alone. It differentiates on buyer and channel, selling a wallet-checkout subscription to people with no infrastructure skills, and on category mix, carrying many early-stage networks at once rather than a single chain.
