Our Mission

Bitcoin full nodes play a key role in maintaining the integrity of the Bitcoin network, as they validate every block by verifying all transaction signatures, then relaying them to further full nodes and other lightweight clients. It also enables Bitcoin's layer-2 blockchain protocols, such as the Lightning Network.

We know it can be difficult for non-tech people to start running a Bitcoin full node, that's why we set out to provide an easy, affordable, and reliable all-in-one solution. Bitnode Studio integrates all the hardware requirements and standard software applications you need into a single device.

Our Vision

The inception of Bitcoin and blockchain technology over the past decade, as a fully decentralized, permissionless, and trustless monetary network, has led to a new financial paradigm that challenges the current centralized banking system.

Looking forward, it is our aim to continue promoting the Bitcoin adoption through decentralization and individual sovereignty by enabling people to run their own full nodes, as growing part of the worldwide Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
