Overview
StakeBros, also written StakeBroz, was a validator node and delegated staking service on Radix, run by two brothers who described a combined 30 years of IT and DevOps experience between them. Delegators earned a share of network emissions in return for stake pointed at the node.
The operators published a short pitch for the node: second-generation AMD EPYC processors, 64 GB of RAM and enterprise NVMe storage; a full backup node kept ready for failover; DevSecOps practice for operations and monitoring; and hosting with Stratode in Germany, chosen on the grounds that no other top-100 Radix validator used that provider, so running there added to the spread of the validator set. Those are the operators’ own claims, recorded here as they were made; none of them was independently verified while the node was running.
Status check (18 August 2026)
Three readings, all taken on 18 August 2026, put the project past dormancy and into closure as this wiki uses the terms on Radix Ecosystem Operational Status.
The domain has lapsed. stakebros.info publishes no address record and its nameservers are now delegated to park.io, a service that registers domain names as they expire and resells them. Nothing loads there. The Internet Archive’s last capture of a working site is dated 13 December 2025, and there is no capture after it.
No validator carries the name. Reading the mainnet validator set at epoch 336,030 returns 287 records – 188 currently registered, plus unregistered validators that still hold delegated stake – and none of them publishes StakeBros or StakeBroz as its on-ledger name.
The address on this page predates the current network. See below.
Why the published staking instructions no longer work
Until this revision, the page reproduced StakeBros’ four-step guide: open the Radix Desktop Wallet, go to the Stake/Unstake tab, enter the validator address rv1q087r7c4fhzhvjgq665jc8re9lwjvgamx6qrdl436r92wfuw3hz6x4lp06u, and confirm. Both halves of that instruction belong to Olympia, the network Radix ran before Babylon.
The rv1q… prefix is the Olympia validator address format. Every validator on the network today is addressed as validator_rdx1…, as the 287 records read above all are. The Radix Olympia Desktop Wallet was likewise superseded: its accounts were exported once into the Radix Wallet mobile app, after which, per the migration guide, “the Olympia account addresses will cease to function and will be flagged as ‘Obsolete’”.
The steps are kept above as a record of what the service published, not as instructions to follow. A reader looking for a live validator to delegate to should pick one from the current set instead.
