Description/Bio: Greetings from the InfStones team!

InfStones is a global, premier blockchain infrastructure provider, based out of Texas, with a globally distributed team. Since our inception in 2018, we have been dedicated to empowering blockchain ecosystems, offering superior validator services, node management, staking, and API Gateway services for over 80 networks integrated into our platform today, including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, and others.

Our robust infrastructure is strategically spread across multiple cloud providers, including OCI (Oracle Cloud), AWS (Amazon Web Services), and Microsoft Azure. Additionally, we leverage several global bare metal service providers. Our servers are predominantly run in key locations such as the US , Europe, and across Asia.

InfStones is powered by a strong team of engineers, constituting over 80% of our personnel. This team’s deep technical knowledge and dedication form the backbone of our ability to operate over 20,000 nodes globally and provide a platform that integrates numerous networks.

In the Cosmos ecosystem, we have forged strong partnerships with projects like dYdX, Andromeda, Band, Celestia, Stride, Persistence, Composable Finance and we’re operating a Cosmos Hub validator node among others. We’ve been actively involved in these ecosystems, providing indispensable services like node management and the InfStones API Gateway.

We are proud to say that InfStones currently runs more than 20,000 ETH validator nodes with over $1 billion in staked ETH. We are an official LIDO node operator, along with Stader and Swell, some upcoming ETH liquid staking providers.

We are excited to be part of the Agoric journey as it becomes one of the most recognised smart contract blockchain. Our strength lies in our ability to provide top-tier validation services and node management, backed by our extensive experience and cutting-edge technology.

As a key player in multiple blockchain ecosystems, we’re looking forward to serving the Agoric community, leveraging our expertise to contribute to its growth and success. We’re thrilled to bring our seasoned team and dedication to the secured maintenance of the Agoric infrastructure and make significant contributions to the Cosmos ecosystem.

InfStones is trusted by some of the world’s biggest blockchain companies, including Binance, CoinList, BitGo, OKX, Chainlink, Polygon, Harmony, and KuCoin, amongst hundreds of other clients. We actively participate in multiple blockchain ecosystems such as Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, and many more.

InfStones’ reputation as a leading blockchain infrastructure provider has attracted significant attention from top-tier investors, and resulted in our most recent funding round of $66M USD from esteemed investors including SoftBank, Dragonfly, HashKey, and GGV. This significant financial backing underscores the industry’s confidence in InfStones’ advanced validator services and node management capabilities.
