Pole position!

Today, Gatotech’s node “UK1” for the Kusama Network has raised to be the 2nd most profitable in the ranking of active validators, this is a huge achievement and we cannot be more proud and grateful for that, MANY THANKS TO ALL OUR KIND NOMINATORS!, including Web 3 Foundation and Parity Technologies from the Thousands Validators Programme!

N.B. This ranking is calculated “per era” according to how the nomination amounts have been automatically distributed by the Phragmén algorithm and the final distance between Gatotech / UK1 to the lowest staked node in the active set. Which highlights the relevance of high quality nominations even before the Phragmén can do its job. Once again, many thanks to our nominators for that! Here at Gatotech we continue working for the security of your network!.
