MPIP-26: Why Meta Pool is Rewriting the Rules for NEAR Validators

The NEAR ecosystem is navigating a significant shift. Between the inflation halving and the prolonged market downturn, protocol revenues have dropped by about 85%. In response, MPIP-26 has been introduced—a proposal that fundamentally changes how Meta Pool operates. As a small validator running on Node Studio hardware, we’re looking at these changes from the front lines. We aren't the biggest players in the room, but we represent the decentralization that makes NEAR work.

The Invisible Backbone: Why NEAR 'Going Dark' is the Ultimate Move for Web3

At Arteria Nodes, we’ve always believed that for blockchain to reach mass adoption, it needs to be more than just fast and scalable—it needs to be professional-grade. Since we began operating validator nodes for the NEAR Protocol, we’ve focused on providing the "rails" that keep the network moving. But today, the rails are changing. With the launch of NEAR Confidential and the introduction of Confidential Intents, NEAR isn't just scaling; it’s becoming a "dark" network in the best possible way.

The Pulse of the Engine: Why Arteria Nodes is Ready for House of Stake 2.0

NEAR is sharpening its focus on how it manages its resources. The launch of House of Stake (HoS) 2.0 signals a transition toward a "Treasury Governance Engine". Essentially, the ecosystem is moving away from broad, experimental DAOs and toward a more focused system for economic policy and treasury oversight. As a women-led team and members of Meta Pool’s Node Studio Cohort 2, we see this as a turning point for how validators participate in the network.

Stake for Impact: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Supporting Women-Led Infrastructure on NEAR

At Arteria Nodes, our mission is to increase the economic, financial, and social power of women in the blockchain ecosystem. We believe that infrastructure is the "arteria"—the lifeline—of a decentralized future. Our name is a blend of Artemis (representing sovereignty and safety) and Axia (representing value). Together, we aim to participate with heart, integrity, and long-term stewardship. Staking with us isn't just about earning rewards; it’s about choosing who secures the future of the web.

Hello, World!

Gm! Arteria Nodes is a women-founded and women-led collective focused on increasing the economic, financial, and social power of women in blockchain. We’re proud to introduce ourselves and to share our first initiative: running a validator on NEAR through Metapool's Node Studio Program. This post marks the beginning of our story—our origin, our mission, and the first steps of what we intend to be a long-term contribution to the decentralization, resilience, and diversity of the blockchain industry.
