   Short description of Applying Institution :
   We’re a validator and infrastructure provider securing over $500M in staked assets across 50+ blockchain networks, including Hyperliquid, Ethereum (via Obol), Sui, dYdX, and many more. Our team operates high-availability validators, public RPC endpoints, and robust indexing infrastructure. We work closely with protocol teams and foundations to ensure network reliability, enhance developer experience, and support long-term ecosystem growth. In addition to validation, we provide real-time analytics and data services that help core contributors and ecosystem participants build on dependable infrastructure.

   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 not only run high-availability validator nodes but also offer full-stack infrastructure services, including dedicated RPC endpoints, public indexers, and real-time analytics. For example, on Hyperliquid, we operate HyperRPC, a custom RPC service tailored for HyperEVM dApps, enabling developers to access low-latency, production-grade endpoints. We also operate the public data indexer for dYdX v4, giving us hands-on experience with high-throughput indexing infrastructure and time-critical data delivery. This background has strengthened our capabilities in building and maintaining reliable data services, which we believe can add value to the Canton Network as well. These capabilities allow us to maintain high operational standards while contributing directly to the decentralization, performance, and resilience of the Canton Network.

   Through industry partners

   
   

   How do you plan to further contribute to the Canton ecosystem? :
   We plan to contribute by operating high-performance validator infrastructure and supporting developers and projects building on Canton. Our team is experienced in providing observability tools, indexing services, and RPC infrastructure that enhance transparency and streamline developer onboarding. In addition to technical contributions, we have strong visibility across regions such as France and Korea, with a deep understanding of local builder ecosystems. We've hosted and supported numerous community events and technical workshops, and we’re well-positioned to help grow Canton’s global presence. We’re also committed to engaging with the Foundation to provide technical feedback, ecosystem insights, and educational content to support a healthy and decentralized Canton ecosystem.
