Why Delegate to Us?
We bring proven reliability with 99.9% uptime in Story testnet (top 100 validator) and active mainnet validation experience across multiple networks including NEAR and Namada. Our team operates a robust infrastructure stack with dedicated servers, comprehensive monitoring (Grafana/Prometheus), and 24/7 support coverage, while actively contributing to the Story ecosystem through public RPC/API services, Network Monitor tools, developer scripts, and educational content—all publicly available on GitHub. Due to current economic considerations, we have temporarily withdrawn funds from staking to ensure operational stability and protect our clients’ interests; however, should we be selected for delegation, we are committed to returning these funds back to staking to fully support the network.
