Infrastructure

Type: [Bare metal]
Regions: [South Asia (India), Africa (South Africa)]
Security Certs: [None (internal security standards, audited operational processes)]

Experience

Operating Since: [2018]
Networks Validated: [10+]
Including Solana, Celestia, Polkadot, Kusama, Starknet, Moonbeam, Cosmos chains, and security-focused networks such as Forta.

Our team has a proven track record of operating validators under real mainnet conditions, including participation in multiple foundation-backed delegation programs. We have been delegated by the Celestia Foundation (3 cohort), participated in the Polkadot 1KV program since 2022, selected for the Moonbeam Orbiter program, and received delegation from the Starknet Foundation for reliable validator operations.

These engagements reflect consistent uptime, disciplined operations, and long-term alignment with network goals.

Story Mainnet Uptime: [No]
Story Testnet (Iliad/Odyssey): [No]

Story Ecosystem Contributions

Tooling & Infrastructure Support

Chain Digital develops and operates a compact set of production-grade tools and services for the Story ecosystem:

  • Network health & performance analytics

    Aggregated weekly and epoch-based views covering validator signing consistency, stake and delegation distribution changes, commission trends, and early signals of operational or decentralization risk.

  • Snapshot distribution (archive & pruned)

    Production snapshot infrastructure designed to reduce sync time and simplify onboarding for new operators.

    Pruned snapshots are updated frequently; archive snapshots are updated daily.

  • Decentralization & infrastructure transparency

    Visualization of validator geographic distribution, hosting concentration, and region-level risk domains to support informed delegation and long-term resilience.

  • Public RPC & API infrastructure

    Public EVM RPC, Tendermint RPC, and REST API endpoints designed for developers, indexers, and ecosystem tooling, with rate limiting, DDoS protection, and active monitoring.

  • Documentation & operator guides

Public documentation covering validator and node setup, secure server configuration (firewalls, VPN, TMKMS), and monitoring best practices.

All ecosystem contributions and guides are aggregated at:

Security & Operations

Chain Digital applies a defense-in-depth operational model across all deployments:

• Dedicated bare-metal servers with ECC memory and enterprise NVMe

• Key-only SSH access, no root login, VPN-restricted management plane

• Firewall hardening with UFW and Fail2Ban

• Remote signing via TMKMS with signing keys isolated from validator hosts

• Continuous monitoring via Prometheus, Grafana, and automated alerts

• Tested recovery and failover procedures

Why Delegate to Us?

Chain Digital is an infrastructure-first validator focused on long-term network health.

Delegating to Chain Digital supports:

• Independent, geographically diverse validator infrastructure

• Operators with a proven foundation-backed track record

• Public tooling that benefits the broader Story ecosystem

• A long-term commitment to decentralization, security, and operational transparency
