   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. :
   Allnodes has vast experience in operating nodes for over 7 years. We operate in our own bare-metal data centers globally distributed and have a team of experienced and battle-tested engineers with an excellent proven track record for performance and reputation. By becoming a validator operator in the Canton Network, we aim to help Canton establish a reliable foundation that developers, users, institutional, and retail participants can trust.

   
   

   Contact at an existing Node Operator who will sponsor your onboarding process:
   Digital Asset - Jacob McCrum

   
   

   How did you hear about us?:
   We learned about Canton through a detailed blog post that outlined your approach and value proposition.

   
   

   How do you plan to further contribute to the Canton ecosystem? :
   As a non-custodial provider, we’ll focus on delivering secure and reliable staking & node hosting operations for Canton, supported by our globally distributed infrastructure and advanced monitoring systems. Our experience running validators across high-growth ecosystems equips us to meet Canton’s need for stability, resilience, and high performance during network growth. If other types of services are required, such as RPC endpoints and Snapshots, we would be happy to have a conversation on how we can contribute to the broader Canton community experience to drive innovation and provide meaningful value to developers and users.
