ops@...Short description of Applying Institution :
ITRocket team provides enterprise-level infrastructure and state-of-the-art tools for node operators, developers, and analysts.Are there any other emails you wanted added to the slack channel?:
cto@...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 validate and provide enterprise-level infrastructure for 30+ blockchain networks. Most of the networks where we’re in the active set are listed on our website https://itrocket.net/. Below is a list of networks not yet featured on our site but where we participate as validators: Autonity genesis validator, Aztec testnet sequencer and prover, Monad, Obol&Lido: Gallant Gecko, Pipe network, Tanssi, Tangle (web). As a team of professional software engineers, ITRocket builds state-of-art solutions to support blockchain ecosystems and projects. From Infrastructure standpoint, we offer: - Archive Endpoints & Snapshots; - Fault-tolerant, high-performance, geo-distributed RPCs; - IBC Relayers; - Geographically redundant servers: we have partnership with 5 Data Centers across 4 continents; From Development standpoint: - Validators Performance Dashboard: validators uptime, slashes and votes participation; - Decentralisation Analytics: Validators, RPCs, Peers, All nodes; - Consensus Analytics; - Telegram Proposal Bot; - Monitoring dashboard and bot; - Many other tools and solutions. Speaking about our ongoing developments, we're in the process of building a custom indexer and EVM-compatible Explorer. We plan to finish it by Q1 2026. It's also in our roadmap to make the API powering this explorer publicly available with "rich" endpoints containing custom data that we've indexed (f.e. validators uptime, TX stats, etc.) We prefer to operate our own infrastructure to maintain full control over quality, security, and performance. This also enables us to develop meaningful tools that empower validators, developers, and ecosystem participants. We believe our track record and ongoing dedication make us a strong choice, and we’re committed to supporting the Canton Network for the long term.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":
