   Please provide information about why you believe you qualify to operate Validators in the Canton Network and why you would prefer to do this yourself instead of using one of the existing operators. :
   We believe we qualify to operate Validators in the Canton Network because: 1. We have been operating as professional validators in this industry for over 4 years. 2. Our team includes a strong group of professionals — 5 DevOps engineers and 4 developers — which enables us not only to validate but also to assist project teams in resolving technical issues. 3. We leverage a robust, enterprise-grade stack to monitor and manage our infrastructure, ensuring high reliability and performance. For observability, we use self-hosted tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alerta, and Uptime Kuma. 4. We also develop custom services and applications upon request from projects. Here are some examples of our contributions: https://solpulse.org https://celestiahub.org https://ipstoryhub.org https://noders.services We are confident that this combination of operational maturity, in-house expertise, and active ecosystem contribution positions us well to support the Canton Network as a reliable and value-adding validator.

   
   

   Contact at an existing Node Operator who will sponsor your onboarding process:
   At the moment, we do not have a validator who could recommend us. However, we would be grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate our professionalism and experience.
