Story Ecosystem Contributions
-
As a new validator on Story, we would be eager to help expand the monthly validator community calls to Story, which we already host or co-host on Solana, Sui, and Monad.
-
We own our own servers, and are the only validator in our data center, adding incremental decentralization and infrastructure diversity to the network.
-
As we reach the mainnet launch of our Solana LSP, we can apply our developer team to building tools and staking protocols on other chains like Story.
-
Our portfolio of web-based staking analytics tools can easily be expanded to Story. (stakeinspector.com, solsharing.com, wenfiredancer.com, …)
Why Delegate to Us?
Delegating to us represents strengthening the network, both at the hardware and social layers. We operate exclusively on our own bare metal servers, and are committed to adding decentralization to the networks we operate on: alone in our data center, we were early adopters of minority clients and DVT on Ethereum, and Firedancer on Solana. Our early testnet participation has led to our participation in 5 mainnet launches. To support governance and community cohesion after mainnet launch, we organize monthly validator community calls (on Solana, Sui, Monad), and build web-based analytics tooling for validators and stakers.
