Launchnodes provides a pre-configured Geth client (execution layer) running alongside a Teku client (consensus layer). Using checkpoint sync this node takes hours not days to sync to the Beacon chain

This allows you to run Beacon nodes with Geth quickly that can connect to validator nodes to start earning staking rewards or access blockchain data directly.

Participate and stake Ethereum as a Solo Staker. Use Launchnodes container based product to run Beacon nodes that have a connected Geth node to connect to the beacon chain. The Beacon Chain coordinates the network, and manages Proof of Stake for Ethereum.

With checkpoint sync configured, your beacon node will begin syncing from a recently finalized checkpoint instead of syncing from genesis. This will make the process of syncing beacon node much faster. Using checkpoint sync Launchnodes Beacon node take around 10 minutes to sync to the latest head and Geth takes approximately 48hrs.
