ZIGChain’s Validator Ecosystem: Securing, Scaling & Growing the Network
Validators are more than just security providers — they are active participants in ZIGChain’s decentralized wealth-generation infrastructure. By securing transactions, maintaining consensus, and reinforcing community trust, validators shape a network built for long-term growth and adoption.
From leading Web3 institutions to grassroots community validators, ZIGChain’s validator ecosystem is a force driving decentralization, network resilience, and scalability.
Let’s explore how institutional and community validators contribute to ZIGChain’s security — and how you can become a validator or delegator to be part of the network’s future.
INSTITUTIONAL VALIDATORS
These are the early institutional backers who bring capital, credibility, and infrastructure to strengthen the foundation of ZIGChain.
- DWF Labs — Institutional Capital Meets Network Security
DWF Labs is one of the most active Web3 investment firms, backing over 700 projects — 20% of which rank in Coin Market Cap’s Top 100 and 35% in the Top 1000 by market capitalization. That’s a heavyweight presence supporting ZIGChain.
DWF Labs has joined ZIGChain as a validator, committing 3,000,000 $ZIG to the ZIGStake program — before mainnet launch. They plan to further expand their stake once the validator set goes live. Beyond validation, DWF Labs also supports the $100M ZIGChain ecosystem fund and provides strategic advisory.
As a leading Web3 investment firm, DWF’s role as a validator strengthens ZIGChain’s decentralized architecture, bringing both industry expertise and institutional credibility.
2. PureSquare — Cybersecurity Giant Goes On-Chain
PureSquare, a leader in cybersecurity, became ZIGChain’s first official validator and strategic partner, expanding its role beyond digital privacy.
Just one of PureSquare’s flagship products, PureVPN, is trusted by over 3 million users worldwide and operates a global network of 6,500 servers across 78 countries. This extensive infrastructure brings proven expertise in privacy, distributed networking, and global connectivity — enhancing ZIGChain’s validator set with real-world infrastructure
3. Range Security — Infrastructure & Transparency at Core
From the outset, Range Security has been instrumental in developing ZIGChain’s native block explorer. Their expanded role as a validator further strengthens the network’s decentralization. Committed to enhancing real-time transparency and cross-chain analytics, Range Security continues to innovate blockchain intelligence tools. Monitoring over $19.5 billion in assets across more than 730 million transactions and integrating with 21 blockchains, they infuse institutional-grade infrastructure into the ZIGChain ecosystem.
COMMUNITY VALIDATORS
Beyond institutional players, ZIGChain thrives on the passion of its community validators — bringing grassroots energy and deep-rooted commitment to decentralization.
- Stasher Capital by Crypto Stasher — The First $ZIG Community Validator Node
Marking a milestone for community-driven governance, Crypto Stasher launched the first-ever $ZIG community validator node under Stasher Capital. With personal delegation and an open invitation to fellow stakers, this initiative strengthens ZIGChain’s decentralization from the ground up.
2. Crypto TA by EdNL — Strengthening Community Roots in EU
A long-time supporter of ZIGChain, EdNL and his Crypto TA community were early adopters of ZIGStake and now extend their contribution as validators. Committed to quality in an industry full of noise, their validator role reinforces both the network’s security and its community-first ethos.
3. Crypto Area Global by Andrew Crypto — Unmatched Commitment
Andrew Crypto, a high-conviction holder of $ZIG, has expanded his role in the ecosystem by launching a validator node through his community Crypto Area Global. With a personal stake exceeding $200K and a mission to onboard his community into ZIGChain, this validator embodies long-term commitment and sustainable network growth.
