   Short description of Applying Institution :
   Edgevana is one of the world's largest validator platforms focused on highly performant decentralized infrastructure with deep expertise in running nodes across most POS blockchains

   
   

   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. :
   With a large white label validator business, we believe we are poised to help onboard additional institutions looking to utilize the Canton Network. We have deep relationships across Web3 and are looking to partner as an infrastructure provider and node operator to drive more network usage.

   
   

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

   
   

   How did you hear about us?:
   While we have been following Canton for some time, we were connected through one of our investors

   
   

   How do you plan to further contribute to the Canton ecosystem? :
   We are looking to quickly become a node-as-a-service provider and explore contributing high value tooling for validators including dashboarding and sharing best practices. In addition we will be putting together a deep-dive research report on the network which we will market and share with institutions we work with.

   
   

   Country of Incorporation :
   USA
