Gatotech has just contracted out its second Bare Metal server, this time it was decided that this node should be located outside of the city of London and from a different hosting provider to meet the decentralisation goals of the networks we are proud to serve at the moment (Polkadot & Kusama) and to continue working towards the net-zero commitments of the Crypto Climate Accord and the networks we plan to serve in the future (e.g. Aleph Zero).
Dear all, Happy New Year 2022!!.. we are starting January with excellent news for the Kusama community, our validator node has passed all internal tests, raised enough capital to successfully apply for the “Thousand Validator” programme, and it is now in full operating conditions, and completely open for nominations.

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!
Kusama’s untold motto is “expect chaos“… and you better believe that its community embrace such a motto with passion!, however, the rollercoaster sometimes gets a bit to frenetic🙀😼😸… A new Polkadot binary (v0.9.18) was just released, and this binary included some minute changes to the experimental database called ParityDB which, in fact, broke its functionality…
Polkadot and Kusama networks’ demands have been growing dramatically during the past couple of months. During validation of para-chains activity the consensus committees run a healthy competition to collaboratively confirm that the information can be registered on the relay chain, and the validators are encouraged to confirm that very quick! To better serve the networks,…
