Helium co-founder and early founding team member launch a white label blockchain nodes-as-a-service startup to reduce operating costs by up to 80 percent for enterprises running nodes for staking and APIs as a service. BlockJoy is building the Web 3.0 version of AWS on decentralized infrastructure while still providing a cloud-like experience. The company’s patented technology offers customers a straightforward point-and-click UI (user interface) to run blockchains on any infrastructure.

Carey co-founded Helium with a $1.2 billion valuation and scaled the popular gif-sharing and creation website, GIPHY, from millions of requests a day to billions of requests per day.
Chris Bruce, co-founder and CEO of BlockJoy, said,
“Through BlockJoy’s unique technology and our focus on blockchain-specific Web 3.0 infrastructure, we can shrink the costs of node-running further than your typical cloud provider can.
