Validator Node Operation
Cosmostation node operation team primarily uses bare metals and also public clouds when it’s needed for setting up duplicated infrastructure environments.
Cosmostation believes operating validator nodes is taking full responsibility for the security of partner protocols. To achieve high security, we established our own escalation policies with monitoring systems. Also, setting up a backup environment where we could respond to any kind of potential issues is very important. To achieve better diversity and prevent single-point failure, Cosmostation seeks to provide validator service in environments that are different from other validators, to an extent that it doesn’t deter the performance of the networks.
Communication & Marketing
Cosmostation team monitors various channels including Discord, official Twitter, E-mail & Telegram 24/7, actively communicating with the networks and users to secure the network and provide a better user experience.
Our marketing team regularly publishes content to help distribute information across the broader Asian market and assist our partners in educating users/retail. We plan to expand our research team in the near future and create high-quality research content more often.
On top of that, Cosmostation team has hosted and participated in our partners’ local events in Seoul, South Korea, helping our partners communicate with Korean builders and users.
