Why Delegate to Us?

Auranode isn’t just another validator we’re dedicated infrastructure builders deeply committed to Story Protocol’s long-term success. With 4+ years of backend engineering expertise, proven validator operations across 15+ production networks, and sustained involvement since Story’s earliest testnets, we bring both technical excellence and genuine ecosystem commitment.

Our enterprise-grade dedicated infrastructure (124GB RAM, 44TB RAID-1 storage with 37TB available capacity) ensures maximum uptime and reliability. We’re currently utilizing only 12% of storage, giving us massive headroom for network growth. We’ve invested significant resources building community tools and actively participating in Discord discussions that benefit the entire Story ecosystem, not just our operation.

Our proven track record speaks: 99.9% uptime across mainnets, 248+ GitHub contributions, 93 open-source repositories, consistent testnet performance, active community engagement, and comprehensive documentation. When you delegate to Auranode, you’re supporting a validator that actively strengthens Story’s infrastructure with institutional-grade reliability and genuine community commitment.
