We're thrilled to be part of Fuel's decentralized sequencer network right from the launch. This marks our first L2 mainnet sequencer, a major milestone for Ruby Nodes as we continue to expand our infrastructure expertise.
Fuel Network: The Future of Ethereum Scaling
Fuel Network is a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 solution, designed to enhance transaction speed, lower costs, and maintain decentralization. Powered by FuelVM and leveraging parallel execution, Fuel achieves an incredible 21,000 transactions per second (TPS) per CPU-core, making it one of the most scalable rollups available today.
Recently, Fuel has taken a major step toward full decentralization by opening staking and delegation for its sequencer network on both Fuel Ignition & Ethereum. Validators play a critical role in sequencing transactions and securing the network, with Fuel using Tendermint’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus to ensure efficiency and fairness.
The network currently has 32 validators on Fuel, but only the original 11 validators accept native FUEL staking directly on the Fuel network. The remaining validators, including these 11, can only enable staking via the Ethereum network.
Ruby Nodes: Supporting Fuel as a Validator, Sequencer on Ethereum & RPC Node Provider
Ruby Nodes is proud to contribute to Fuel’s growing validator ecosystem by operating both a sequencer and a validator. Our role is crucial in securing Fuel’s rollups and processing transactions efficiently.
In addition to our sequencer, we also provide two RPC nodes, reinforcing network reliability and accessibility.
Staking with Ruby Nodes
Users can delegate their FUEL tokens to trusted validators like Ruby Nodes to earn rewards. Currently, staking with Ruby Nodes offers an attractive ~39% APY, making it one of the most competitive options for those looking to participate in Fuel’s decentralized ecosystem.

How to Stake on Fuel Network
- On Ethereum: Users can connect their Ethereum-compatible wallet, migrate FUEL tokens if needed, and manually select a validator. Staking rewards accumulate automatically, and unstaking follows a Tendermint PoS unbonding period of up to two weeks.
- On Fuel Ignition: Staking is seamless, supporting EVM, SVM, and native Fuel wallets. Users can delegate FUEL tokens easily via this link, claim rewards, and unstake at any time with at least one week passing since the last deposit.
Fuel’s Commitment to Decentralization
Unlike many L2 solutions that rely on centralized sequencing, Fuel is building a permissionless validator network to improve fault tolerance, liveness, and censorship resistance. Its modular design separates execution from consensus, preventing unnecessary centralization while optimizing scalability and transaction throughput.
A Milestone Partnership
By operating a sequencer, validator, and RPC nodes on Fuel’s network, Ruby Nodes strengthens the infrastructure supporting one of Ethereum’s most advanced rollups. With our multi-continent hardware and expertise in blockchain infrastructure, we are excited to contribute to Fuel’s long-term vision of a fast, decentralized, and scalable Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem.
