# Validator Nodes

The EWC & Volta validator as a service offering allow for seamless and easy Validator nodes set-up. You can choose the option for either an EW managed or a BYOC (bring your own cloud) infrastructure. 

Validator as a Service (VaaS) allows you to purchase a bundle (1x Volta + 1x EWC node) with automated withdrawals, payout address change, integrated telemetry and EW validator set addition request.

**Please note that hosting validator nodes is only accessible to Energy Web Member Organizations.**

For all Validator Nodes related actions, please verify that you are in the **VaaS** part of Launchpad. You can switch to VaaS by using the toggle button on the top right of launchpad.
