CrowdNode

CrowdNode is a Danish cryptocurrency service company that specialised in pooled Dash masternode participation. Founded in 2018 and incorporated as CrowdNode ApS in Copenhagen, Denmark, the platform allowed holders of smaller Dash amounts to pool their DASH together to collectively operate masternodes and earn a share of the resulting block rewards.

The service was designed to lower the barrier to masternode entry, enabling participation with as little as 0.5 DASH rather than the standard 1,000 DASH collateral requirement. Funds were aggregated into masternode collateral addresses controlled via multisig arrangements, giving members pre-signed withdrawal transactions and reducing counterparty risk. CrowdNode charged a 15% fee on earned rewards. The Dash Investment Foundation holds an equity stake in the company.

As of 2024, CrowdNode has wound down its active operations. The platform no longer accepts new deposits, but existing members can withdraw their full balances through the platform interface.
