## Overview

**Staatenlos Node** is an active [Radix](/contents/tech/releases/radix-mainnet-babylon) mainnet [validator](/contents/tech/core-concepts/radix-governance) operated by the team behind [Staatenlos](https://staatenlos.ch), a German-language community focused on financial privacy and location independence. The node was set up by Christoph Heuermann together with Lukas – the two co-founders of the Radix DEX [Ociswap](/ecosystem/ociswap) – to help decentralise the network and introduce the Staatenlos community to Radix.

Read from the [Radix Gateway](https://mainnet.radixdlt.com/state/validators/list) at epoch 337,230 (22 August 2026, 15:06 UTC), `validator_rdx1svpqafv…` is registered, accepting delegated stake, and carries **95,607,237.03 XRD** — rank 15 of the 188 registered validators — at a **2.5% validator fee** with no fee change queued. The operator quotes delegators [about 6% a year](https://staatenlos.ch/staatenlos/radix-staatenlos-node/), which is what the network's [~300M XRD annual emission](/contents/tech/core-concepts/network-emissions) pays across an active set holding 4.69 billion XRD, and does not advertise a rate the emission schedule cannot fund.

The node's on-ledger `info_url` points at `node.staatenlos.ch`, which has answered HTTP 526 (an origin TLS failure at Cloudflare) since at least 22 August 2026; the maintained page is the one linked above, on the main Staatenlos site.

## Operations & reliability

The Staatenlos Node team runs monitoring and backup systems to keep the validator highly available through hardware or network failures. Staatenlos is also part of a mutual-support alliance with fellow node runner [Radical Staking](/ecosystem/radical-staking), in which the two operators back up each other's node operations in an emergency.

## Staking

XRD holders can delegate to Staatenlos Node directly from the [Radix Wallet](https://wallet.radixdlt.com): open the staking view, search for "Staatenlos Node", and stake any amount of XRD. Delegated stake earns network emissions minus the validator fee, and can be unstaked subject to the network's unbonding period. Staking never transfers custody – delegated XRD remains in the holder's account as stake units.
