Welcome to AVADO
Your AVADO comes with pre-configured hardware and software to help you get started with Web3 staking quickly.
Overview of Options
Below is an overview of the different options and required steps.
Everybody starts by connecting to AVADO Wi-Fi for initial access.
Next, we highly recommend that you install Remote Connect + Zerotier. This gives you convenient and secure access, both at home and from a remote location.
Take a quick tour of the AVADO Admin, the web page at http://my.ava.do where you manage your AVADO. Its Home page tells you at a glance whether your AVADO is healthy, and what to fix if it isn't.
Ethereum Stakers can start with Solo Staking with 32 ETH. The Staking setup page in the AVADO Admin guides you through the steps.
Rocketpool Staking: Rocket Pool no longer accepts new 8 or 16 ETH minipools (it moved to "megapools" in December 2025), and the AVADO Rocket Pool package has not been updated for this yet. The Rocketpool pages remain for existing node operators.
Stader Staking is being phased out: you can no longer start new Stader validators. See Stader (4 ETH) if you need to exit.
There are other staking opportunities on your AVADO:
Gnosis Staking, for existing stakers only. Gnosis is retiring its validators (GIP-153), so AVADO no longer offers Gnosis staking for new setups.
Avalanche Staking
Qtum Staking
Near Staking (only for AVADO Cloud Users)
Our Documentation provides detailed instructions on each of these steps. Please feel free to jump ahead to the relevant sections to help you install, configure, and run your staking packages.
We also recommend installing monitoring (Grafana). It gives you dashboards and lets your AVADO warn you about missed attestations.
If you encounter any problem, open Help in the AVADO Admin, consult the Quick Help section, or reach out in our Discord channel for support. To have AVADO keep an eye on your box and help you first, subscribe to Priority Care.
Before you get ready to install your favourite package(s), we recommend that you take a few minutes to read through the following guidelines.
