  • Operator Name: ENK Investment Group
    Testnet Node: 0xc7b8134e0589deb7534fd0c68d0fbf707959b713
  • Operator Profile: Solo Staker
  • Experience:
    Our initial foray into crypto began with investing in well-known cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. As I witnessed the volatility and potential of these assets, I became increasingly intrigued by the underlying technology and the various ways individuals could participate in the ecosystem.
    Mining Bitcoin and Ethereum has been a significant part of our journey. Over the years, we have gained valuable experience in the process of validating transactions, securing the networks, and earning rewards through mining activities. While the technical aspects of mining can be complex, our dedication and commitment have allowed us to navigate and thrive in this ever-evolving landscape.

Staking, another integral aspect of our crypto journey, has provided us with opportunities to actively participate in network validation and governance. By staking our digital assets, we contribute to the security and decentralization of blockchain networks while earning rewards in return.

Additionally, running a node has deepened our understanding of blockchain technology and empowered us to take a more active role in supporting the networks. Hosting a node not only facilitates transactions but also contributes to the resilience and decentralization of blockchain ecosystems.

Our experience in the crypto space has been shaped by a combination of mining, staking, and running a node. These activities have not only allowed us to grow as individuals within the crypto community but have also empowered us to actively contribute to the development and decentralization of blockchain networks.

Operator Name:
Ethereum Eutopia
Address: 0x2784c83ebe616327b4be58fe31bb6aac7ef7e4c4

Website:
https://spila.dev

Operator Profile:
We are a team of developers transitioning from solo staking to institutional staking operations. Our background includes extensive experience in node operation across various networks.

Experience:
Our team has over two years of experience in node operation, participating in numerous projects such as Celestia, Dymension, Zora, Taiko, Avail, Berachain, Aleo, and Eigenlayer. We have consistently maintained an overall uptime of over 97%, never missing an update or experiencing downtime attributable to our operations. While some projects like Celestia and Dymension have concluded, we continue to operate nodes on active networks, including a presence on the Avail leaderboard.

Team:
Our team comprises developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts deeply embedded in the Web3 space for over five years. We boast a diverse skill set, including backend, frontend, and Solidity development. Our commitment to node operation extends beyond a hobby, approaching it with full dedication and professionalism as we transition to an institutional model.

Mainnet Restake Amount:
Prefer not to disclose.

Where do you run your infra:
Our servers are primarily located in Germany, with a portion in Australia.

What rate do you plan to set your operator commission rate:
We plan to set our commission rate based on market conditions. However, based on our experience, a rate of 5% seems reasonable for this type of node operation.

Performance Metrics:
Our team has consistently demonstrated exceptional performance across various networks, characterized by high uptime, rapid implementation of upgrades, and adherence to best practices in node operation. We have successfully participated in multiple projects, maintaining a strong track record of reliability and technical proficiency. A report of some can be found here:

  • Celestia: 95% uptime across 3 nodes
  • Dymension: 96% uptime across 3 nodes
  • Avail: 98% uptime across 3 leaderboard nodes
  • Zora: 99.5% uptime across 10 nodes
  • Taiko: 98% uptime across 10 nodes
  • Berachain: 98% uptime across 10 nodes
  • Obol: 82% uptime across 2 clusters

We implement upgrades in under 30 minutes on average, with overall correctness exceeding 98%.

EigenDA Testnet Performance:
Our experience with the EigenDA testnet was smooth. The record can be found here https://goerli.eigenlayer.xyz/operator/0x2784c83ebe616327b4be58fe31bb6aac7ef7e4c4

We managed our nodes well, quickly updating them whenever needed, and keeping them running without issues. A big part of our success comes from our engaged community. We were able to get more than 150 people to delegate their stakes to our nodes. This support was a huge help in keeping us among the top performers in the AVS. Our goal was always to be at the top, and with our community’s help, we made it.

How long were you in the active set?
More than 3 months

Plans to Opt-into Additional AVSs:
We are currently considering joining Esperso as an institutional node operator. While we have not committed to specific projects at this time, our strategy involves thorough research to identify suitable opportunities. We remain open to exploring a wide range of AVSs and do not exclude any projects from potential participation at this stage.

Simply Staking is a blockchain all-in-one team of infrastructure and software engineers that build blockchain tech and operate blockchain infrastructure across countless networks since 2018.

As of Q1 2024, staked assets under management total over $1B.

The group operates infrastructure out of its own highly restricted Tier 3 datacentre in the jurisdictionally unique island of Malta, with various backup sites across the globe, and a policy against the use of cloud providers.We believe that new, decentralised public infrastructure requires a set of independent, geographically distributed validators operating their own private infrastructure. The fact that many validators rely on cloud infrastructure puts this vision of a decentralised future in jeopardy, by inadvertently centralising networks on a handful of cloud networks that are owned by large corporations.

Infrastructure services provided include oracles, validation, dedicated node and API provision across all ecosystems such as Ethereum, L2s, Solana, Cosmos, Avalanche, Bitcoin and Substrate based chains. This includes the operation of Chainlink oracle infrastructure that powers DeFi across 16 EVM-based platforms.

The team has contributed development resources to major protocols, together with open sourcing various monitoring and infrastructure tooling. Such work includes:

  • Solidity DeFi development.
  • Cosmos SDK product and module development.
  • Monitoring tooling for Ethereum, Substrate, Cosmos and Chainlink infrastructure operations.
  • Risk monitoring tooling for DeFi protocols.
  • Agoric<>Chainlink Decentralised Oracle Network development and management.

Simply Staking is trusted as an infrastructure provider by top ecosystem teams and DAOs such as Lido DAO, Chainlink, Interchain Foundation, Web3 Foundation, Oasis Foundation, Decentralized Cooperation Foundation, amongst many others.

Simply Staking’s dedicated Governance and Community Team actively engages, publishes research reports, and fosters relationships within every relevant and active blockchain community, ensuring that Simply Staking is a thought leader within the ecosystems it is part of.

  • Team: Briefly introduce your team and relevant background.

Simply Staking is a 40+ person multi-disciplinary organisation comprising of various teams working on blockchain development, data analysis, infrastructure and operations, together with governance and protocol research.

  • Where do you run your infra:

We operate a Tier 3, fully redundant datacenter that is the core of our infrastructure operations in Malta. We also have multiple servers which are colocated in dedicated secure cabinets in other datacenters in Europe and North America, choosing datacenters which are not operating public cloud services, to offer further decentralisation,

Datacenter specs include power/cooling/ISP redundancies, PCI-DSS certifications, next generation firewalls inspecting all traffic and full monitoring of all hosts. Our team members have experience across many cloud platforms, however we only operate out of our own premises and colocated full cabinets in foreign datacenters.

  • What rate do you plan to set your operator commission rate: 3%

  • Performance Metrics: 99.9% with 24/7 incidence response. Our IR process involves an on call rotation of various engineers that follow established processes to investigate and respond to events promptly.

  • EigenDA Testnet Performance: Participated as an operator since Goerli’s testnet launch with great success, and planning to participate on Holesky.

  • Plans to opt-into additional AVSs: Open to investigating all AVS projects and keen to contribute in any way possible.
