# The Network of Trusted Nodes Trusted Node is a **decentralized network that owns and represents trusted validator nodes.** Unlike the majority of currently available staking pools and third-party services, Trusted Node is **non-custodial**, **decentralized**, and **governed by the community**. The users come together to pool staking funds and launch validator nodes for PoS blockchains they support. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
