Today Gatotech have joined the testnet of Aleph Zero as one of the first community validators to spin their nodes and sync the blockchain.
We wish all fellow validators success in their operations and commit to the Aleph Zero Foundation to follow their community guidelines in the testing stages and beyond.
cheers to that!! 😺

Yes, we spun our first node yesterday for the Polkadot (DOT) network and it is synchronising the database (50% progress at the time of publishing this note)… exciting times lie ahead!
Arrived today, last day of the year, our RAK Hotspot Miner 2.0! and we are super excited to be soon part of Helium People’s Network… more updates will be posted on due course… Have some great New Year’s celebrations out there you all! 🙂
