As blockchain infrastructure evolves, 2025 is set to be a defining year for several key trends that will shape the industry. Node.Monster, as a leading validator and infrastructure provider across multiple networks, is at the forefront of these innovations. Here’s our outlook on the major themes that will influence blockchain infrastructure in the coming year.

Restaking has emerged as a transformative approach to securing protocols, scaling ecosystems, and enhancing capital efficiency with more than $15B TVL in the last year. In a nutshell, Restaking allows validators to stake their assets to secure multiple protocols, all while contributing to a growing landscape of interconnected applications.

As blockchain networks mature, particularly those utilizing Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms, decentralization remains critical. However, the growth of liquid staking and re-staking protocols has raised concerns about centralization, even in systems designed to avoid it. Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) offers a compelling solution by enhancing resilience, security, and economic efficiency.

The gaming industry is undergoing a revolutionary shift with the rise of Web3, bringing decentralized, player-driven ecosystems into the mainstream. Unlike traditional gaming, where ownership, governance, and economies are centrally controlled, Web3 gaming offers true digital ownership, decentralized decision-making, and transparent economies powered by blockchain technology.

As one of the top 10 validators on the Stride network, Node,Monster is deeply invested in the success and security of this pioneering liquid staking protocol within the Cosmos ecosystem. Stride represents a transformative shift in how staking operates by enabling users to maintain liquidity while still earning staking rewards.

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain, the dream of a fully interconnected and seamless ecosystem has often been hampered by the limitations of closed-garden blockchains. These limitations and the complex UX surrounding bridges have created significant barriers to mass adoption.
