    Short description of Applying Institution :
    We’ve been running blockchain nodes since 2020, both on testnets and mainnets, mainly within Cosmos SDK networks and similar ecosystems. Over time, we’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience and figured out how to make node setup as smooth and user-friendly as possible. At R1M, we don’t just maintain infrastructure — we also focus on making onboarding easier for everyone. We’ve built one-line installers, detailed guides, cheat sheets, and automated tools for snapshots, state sync, faucets, and peer discovery.


    Are there any other emails you wanted added to the slack channel?:


    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’ve been running our own validators since 2020 and have built out everything ourselves — from infrastructure and monitoring to tools and automation. That hands-on experience helps us keep things secure, stable, and efficient. We prefer to run the Canton validator ourselves because it gives us full control. We can respond quickly, build custom tooling around it, and contribute more directly to the network — something we wouldn’t be able to do through an external operator.


    Name and email of contact at one of the Super Validators who will sponsor your onboarding process. Please find the list of Super Validators here. If you do not have a contact at a Super Validator, please say "N/A":

    How do you plan to further contribute to the Canton ecosystem? :
    We’d like to bring the same approach we used in Celestia to the Canton ecosystem. There, we built things like a testnet faucet, an AI dashboard to track data activity, public RPCs and snapshots, and simple install scripts to help new validators get started. Everything we do is open and meant to make life easier for others in the ecosystem. For Canton, we’d be happy to build tools, infra, or whatever else is most needed. We’d love to talk with the team first to understand where help is needed most and what would bring the most value early on. We enjoy building useful stuff — we just want to make sure it’s actually helpful.
