And in this sense, that's why we're having the spaces today to talk about what each and
and in this sense, that's why we're having
the spaces today to talk about what each and every one
every one of these enterprise node operators brings to the table to the near ecosystem

and how it allows near protocol to scale and more importantly,
to scale, and more importantly,
how I diversify the diversity of nodes in different geographic locations.
have either the diversity of nodes
in different geographic locations,
So really, really excited for this spaces and actually we're kicking off the enterprise node program.

And yeah, now we are part of the enterprise operator, enterprise node operator program.
And yeah, now we are part of the enterprise operator,

And it's a big pleasure. We have been in talks with cloud for like around a year now. And yeah, excited to kick it off here.
And it's a big pleasure.
We have been in talks with the Claudio for like
around a year now, and yeah, excited to kick it off here.
Okay. Thank you very much, Yuri. I think it's very exciting to see all the different enterprises and companies that are getting on board inside of this program.
Okay, thank you very much, Yuri.
I think it's very exciting to see all the different
enterprises and companies that are getting on board
inside of this program.
But I think it's worth to talk about what is enterprise node operators program.
But I think it's worth to talk about
what is enterprise node operators program.
This is basically B2B program that is partner or creator with three main participants inside of this program.
This is basically B2B program that is partner or creator
in with three main participants inside of this product.
The first one is NIR Foundation. NIR Foundation is giving support to this enterprise node operators program to make it possible to have all these companies to be participating, receiving delegation with this securing the network of NIR protocol.
The first one is NIR Foundation.
NIR Foundation is giving support to this enterprise
node operators program to make possible to have all these
companies to be participating, receiving delegation
at the, with this securing the network of NIR protocol.
What this means, all these enterprise node operators have the compromise to keep high uptime inside of the network.
What this means, all these enterprise node operators
have the compromise to keep high uptime
inside of the network, but more than that,
But more than that, they also have compromise to support the network to route when they propose different activities, including making partnerships, participating in marketing, making viable the participation of them through partnership with other institutions that can participate inside of NIR.
they also have compromise to support the network
to route when they propose different activities,
including making partnerships, participating in marketing,
making viable the participation of them through partnership
with other institutions that can participate inside of NIR.
And with this, route a NIR ecosystem in the coming months.
And with this route and NIR ecosystem in the coming months.
So this is a general idea. So you will be seeing the more clear way in which you will be seeing the participation of these enterprise node operators is looking into the NIR Explorer.
So this is a general idea.
So you will be seeing the more clear way in which
you will be seeing the participation of these
enterprise node operators is looking into the NIR Explorer.
And in the Explorer, you will find all these validators participating and receiving delegation to secure the network.
And in the Explorer you will find all these validators
participating and receiving the delegation
to secure the network.
But I think here comes the first question that is, what motivated every one of you to participate in the enterprise node operators program with the NIR Foundation and the Metapool ecosystem?
But I think here came the first question that is
what motivated everyone of you to participate
in the enterprise node operators program
with the NIR foundation and the Metapool ecosystem?
So I think that we can start again in the same order. So Matt, do you want to tell us what motivated you to participate in the program?
So I think that we can start again in the same order.
So Matt, do you want to tell us what motivated you
to participate on the program?
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, Ellen. So I think as you said, it's very important to increase the decentralization of the validator set, ideally, or also additionally with enterprise-grade operators like all of ourselves.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you, Alan.
So I think as you said, it's very important to increase
the decentralization of the validator set ideally
or also additionally with enterprise grade operators
like all of ourselves.
But nevertheless, it's still, and this is just the reality, it's challenging even for better known validators, being it for Lugan nodes or maybe French validators as you realize here, right?
But nevertheless, it's still, and this is just the reality,
it's challenging even for better known validators
being it for Lugan nodes or maybe friends validators
as you realize here, right?
Usually a validator might have their strong networks, right, for whatever reason, for network reasons, for technical reasons.
Usually a validator might have their strong networks,
for whatever reason, for network reasons,
for technical reasons.
So for example, we are the biggest validator on Polygon, for example, and also on Kava, et cetera.
So for example, we are the biggest validator
on polygon, for example, and also on cover, et cetera.
But we were a very small validator in the NIR, even though we have been running for a long time already.
But we were a very small validator in the near,
even though we have been running for a long time already.
And I know the Metapool team for more than two years. I think Matt Beckin at NIRCON in Lisbon in 2022.

Nevertheless, what I mentioned is that it's still sometimes very challenging to become seen, to become active, because there might be the lack of a kickstart, so to say, right?
Nevertheless, what I mentioned is
it's still sometimes very challenging to become seen,
to become active, because there are already,
there might be the lack of a kickstart, so to say, right?
And this program, especially here from near
And this program, especially here from near the enterprise node operator program, is a good motivation and a good help to kickstart the operations, right?
the enterprise node operator program,
it's a good motivation and a good help
to kickstart the operations, right?
To get some first visibility, being it from marketing, being it with initial delegation.

being it with initial delegation.
And this could kickstart way more contributions in the near future, and near being a very solid network, right?
And this could kickstart way more contributions
in the near future.
And NIR being a very solid network, right?
Again, supporting it for even before this program started.
Again, supporting it for even before this program started,
We wanted to participate more, and I think we could also bring way more added value.
we wanted to participate more,
and I think we could also bring way more added value,
But this kickstart was needed, and that's why the program was ideally for us to start and then build upon that.
but this kickstart was needed.
And that's why the program was ideally for us to start
and then build up on that.
And this is already has been happening
And this already has been happening for a couple of months, and we already can see the rewards coming in, being it by more delegations from institutions.
for a couple of months and we already can see
the rewards coming in, being it by more delegations
from institutions that always sometimes very challenging
That always is sometimes very challenging for compliance reasons, but also for marketing activity where everybody gains from it.
for compliance reasons, but also for marketing activity
where everybody gains from it.
So that motivated us, and we're looking forward to the next phase of it.
So that motivated us and we're looking forward
to the next phase of it.
Okay, thank you very much, Matt.
Okay, thank you very much. Matt, I think very interesting insights were shared with your participation.

So we can go with the next one. StableLab, what motivated you to become part of this enterprise node operator program?
So we can go with the next one, StableLab,
what motivated you to become part
of this Enterprise Network Operators Forum?
Yes, Alan, thank you so much.

especially at the network level.
And so this program provided a very great launchpad
And so this program provided a very great launchpad for us to not only secure the network,
for us to not only secure the network,
increase the diversity of the valid data set, but also because of the holistic aspect of the OKRs,
increase the diversity of the valve dataset,
but also because of the holistic aspect
of the OKRs, we're able to have a synergistic
we're able to have a synergistic sort of like relationship with different facets of the ecosystem

the network has also taken to stay compliant
with governance.
And we just were looking for ways to bring our expertise
And we just were looking for ways to bring our expertise into the ecosystem,
into the ecosystem, our experience with product development

for the scalable dApps coming up on the air.
So we really want to enhance the growth
So we really want to enhance governance structures, really provide a secure and participatory decentralized environment
and enhance governance structures,
really provide a secure
and participatory decentralized environment
across all the ecosystems we work in and near was really, it stood out for us in terms of where we would be expanding to.

And this was the first time where I really said, OK, I want to also launch on near.
And this was the first time where I really said,
okay, I want to also launch on Near.
But then what Max mentioned is where to start.
But then what Max mentioned is,
where to start, what is the first point of contact?
What is the first point of contact?
Every ecosystem is different.
Every ecosystem is different,
Ethereum is different to near.
Ethereum is different to Near,
Near is different to Cosmos.
Near is different to Cosmos.
So, you have to get used to.
So, you have to get used to,
You need to understand, OK, who is the right person that you can start networking with.
you need to understand, okay,
who's the right person that you can start networking with.
And actually, Claudio was the first point of contact that I got via Pagoda.

So, our Near journey began with Metapool.
So, our near journey began with Metapool.
This is how we got started or actually had a chance to launch on near.
or actually had a chance to launch on Near.
And, yeah, moving forward, we got our near together, started joining the Metapool program
And yeah, moving forward, we got our Near together,
started joining the Metapool program
just to stay in the active set.
just to stay in the active set.
But then obviously as a validator,
But then, obviously, as a validator, you always ask yourself, OK, how can we contribute more to the ecosystem?
you always ask yourself,
okay, how can we contribute more to the ecosystem?
In Cosmos, we did auto-compounding so that you do one transaction,
In Cosmos, we did auto-compounding
so that you do one transaction,
then your coins are getting auto-compounded daily.
then your coins are getting auto-compounded daily.
But in Near, we didn't know, okay,
But in near, we didn't know, OK, where to start, what to do.
where to start, what to do.
And then with the Metapool Enterprise Node Operator program,
And then with the Metapool Enterprise Node Operator program,
this is much easier because now you know, OK, these are some things that the others do.
this is much easier because now you know, okay,
these are some things that the others do.
It's like having a couple of suggestions that are realistic to execute.

And, yeah, we want to be active, obviously.
Okay, perfect.
OK, perfect. Thank you very much, Jorit.
Thank you very much, Jorit.
Thank you for giving all these insights on how this program was started.

how this program was started.
So, I think that we can move on the next question
So I think that we can move on to the next question that we have for these tutorial spaces.
that we have for this tutorial spaces.
So I think that we can move nets on.
So, I think that we can move nets on.
If you can provide us insights into the specific initiatives or projects
If you can provide us insights
into the specific initiatives or projects
that you are currently working
that you are currently working as an Enterprise Node Operator

so the community can know more about how you will be participating inside of near.
so the community can know more about
how you will be participating inside of Near.
I think that on this time, we can start with a stable app.
I think that on this time, we can start with Stable Lab.
Stable Lab, do you want to share with us?
Do you want to share with us?
Absolutely. Well, thank you.
Absolutely, well, thank you.
And as I mentioned, we have been really focused on enabling a more decentralized,

and also NDC.
And yeah, we are currently in talks trying to understand the groundwork that's already been done,
And yeah, we are currently in talks
trying to understand the groundwork
that's already been done, any gaps that exist
any gaps that exist, and how we can support just bringing our governance expertise
and how we can support just bringing
our governance expertise from contributing
from contributing as delegates, as service providers across various ecosystems.
as delegates, as service providers
across various ecosystems.
So that will be our main focus in terms of our contributions to the community,
So, that will be our main focus
in terms of our contributions to the community,
really imparting governance learning.
really imparting governance learning.
So you can expect to see from StableLab a lot of content around near governance
So, you can expect to see from Stable Lab
a lot of content around near governance
and also active participation in NDC as well.
and also active participation in NDC as well.
And so over the next couple weeks and months,
And so, over the next couple of weeks and months,
we will have a clear idea of how we would be participating.
we will have a clear idea of how we would be participating,
But we already have some really great ideas from the research that we've already done.
but we already have some really great ideas
from the research that we've already done.
And we should see, I think, in the next week or two,
And we should see, I think, in the next week or two,
a more interesting discussion on our end,
a more interesting discussion on our end,
just bringing visibility into what's happening on near.
just bringing visibility into what's happening on Near.
Because, like I said prior,
Because like I said prior, we've been active in a lot of Ethereum dows.
we've been active in a lot of Ethereum DAOs.
And so, Near is a new one for us.
And so near is a new one for us.
And we really want to sort of bridge the gap,
And we really want to sort of bridge the gap,
bring awareness to how interesting and diverse
the awareness to how interesting and diverse and transparent near governance is.
and transparent Near governance is.
And all the structures that have been created to support the network with governance.
And all the structures that have been created
to support the network with governance.
And so yeah, we will be contributing on this side.
And then also, because of our OKRs,
And then also, because of our OKRs,
we also will be participating in some liquidity provisioning through like near DEXs.
we also will be participating in some liquidity provisioning
through near DEXs, you should expect to see from us.
You should expect to see from us.
So have been connected to products like REF Finance on that angle.
So, have been connected to products
like REF Finance on that angle.
And yeah, just really looking forward to this.
And yeah, just really looking forward to this.
And I think forums like this also help with the visibility of what we do.
And I think forums like this also help
with the visibility of what we do.
So if there's anyone on the space that is interested in governance services
So, if there's anyone on the space
that is interested in like governance services
or has an idea of how we could potentially contribute on the service provisioning angle
or has an idea of like how we could potentially contribute
on the service provisioning angle
or the product development angle, we'd be happy to discuss.
or the product development angle,
we'd be happy to discuss.
So yeah, this is really interesting for us and really great.
So, yeah, this is really interesting for us
and really great.
OK, thank you, stable lab team.
Okay, thank you, stable lab team.
Jody, do you want to throw in nets on this?
Yoni, do you want to go on a net on this?
Sure thing.
Sure thing.
So I think we will stick to what we can do best.
I think we will stick to what we can do best.
As mentioned, we kickstart a customer service,
As mentioned, we kickstart a Cosmoverse
which is the largest conference in the customer ecosystem.
which is the largest conference in the CosmoSQL system.
And really, it takes place in a different place every year.
And really it takes place in a different place every year.
And we see that there's a key demand
And we see that there's a key demand of hosting some satellite events
of hosting some satellite events
about near and different regions.
about near in different regions.
We will host a near event in Seoul during a bit later.
We will host a near event in Seoul during a bit later.
And we will host one in Dubai around Cosmoverse 2024,
And we will host one in Dubai around Cosmoverse 2024
where we will invite a lot of validators
where we will invite a lot of validators
because we also want to act as a bridge to get validators from the cosmos also to near
because we also want to act as a bridge
to get validators from the Cosmo
to ensure that near becomes more decentralized over time.
Besides that, around East Berlin, we will host another near event.
So we are very good in events,
and we want to make sure that we bring the right people together,
that we bring the right people together
that we can pick their brains on important topics all about near.
that we can pick their brains
on important topics all about near.
So we will work on that.
So we will work on that.
And besides that, I mentioned our media.
And besides that, I mentioned our media.
We are very, very good in media initiatives.
We are very, very good in media
We will double down on that, share valuable updates
around the entire near ecosystem quarterly and weekly
around the entire ecosystem quarterly and weekly
and also break down technical complex topics to get more actual users in.
and also break down technical complex topics
to get more actual users in.
And we are very well connected with enterprises specifically from Germany.
specifically from Germany.
So we will focus on getting those enterprises into near
So we will focus on getting those enterprises
into near by providing additional infrastructure.
by providing additional infrastructure.
So this is what we will focus on primarily
So this is what we will focus on primarily
a mix out of getting enterprises and organizing large events
a mix out of getting enterprises
and organizing large events
and doing media and other community initiatives.
and doing media and other community initiatives.
Wow, amazing, amazing.
Thank you very much, Yuri, for sharing.
Thank you very much Yuri for sharing.
Matt, from Lugano, do you want to share with us
Matt, from Logan also you want to share with us
the specific initiative of projects that you will be working
the specific initiative of projects
that you will be working as an enterprise operator.
as an enterprise operator?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
So besides the, you could say general initiatives
So besides the, you could say, general initiatives
like sharing marketing material
like sharing marketing material or publishing marketing content
or publishing marketing or content
about the latest development and near ecosystem.
about the latest development and near ecosystem.
We are what we see as our core strengths
What we see as our core strengths,
similar what, for example, events and media
and media could be for friends for the data.
could be for friends for the data.
What we see as our core strengths is the relationship
is the relationship that we have with institutions.
that we have with institutions.
And by institutions, I mean could be PCs
And by institutions, I mean could be VCs or centralized exchanges
or centralized exchanges that for example
that, for example, enable their users to stake.
enable their users to stake.
And we have a very strong network there, right?
And we have a very strong network there, right?
And for us individual participants or users,
And for us individual participants or users
we have to understand that these entities,
we have to understand that these entities
they cannot just randomly stake with some validator.
they cannot just randomly stake with some validator.
They have to have contracts.
They have to have contracts, they have to be,
They have to be, they have to have our liability.
they have to have our liability, they have to have insurance,
They have to have insurance.
they have to be prepared for the worst case.
They have to be prepared for the worst case.
That's why it's also sometimes it takes so long,
That's why it's also sometimes it takes so long
or it's so hard to onboard them.
it's so hard to onboard them.
And what we see as our core strengths
And what we see as our core strengths
is to enable more institutions now
is to enable more institutions now to participate in staking,
to participate in staking, to enable their users to stake
to enable their users to stake with the help of Luganodes
with the help of Luganodes by enabling them
by enabling them institutional grade setup,
institutional grade setup being at the insurance.
being at the insurance or the certificates
So the certificates when it comes to compliance
when it comes to compliance,
all the necessities that they have.
all the necessities that they have.
And this actually already happened with one of our partners
And this actually already happened
with one of our partners that because of our involvement
that because of our involvement with the operator program,
with the operator program, with Metapool,
with Metapool, with the new foundation that is associated,
with the new foundation that is associated
and because of our setup,
and because of our setup
that we could convince them to stake with us recently.
that we could convince them to stake with us recently.
And this is something that we're looking forward to,
And this is something that we're looking forward to.
and this is something where we see as our core strengths
And this is something where we see as our core strengths
and would like to double down on that.
and would like to double down on that.
Okay, perfect.
Okay, perfect. Thank you very much, Matt.
Thank you very much, Matt.
I think that there is a wide variety of ideas, projects,
I think that there is a wide variety of ideas, projects,
initiatives that has been come around
initiatives that have come around this enterprise node operators program.
this enterprise node operators program.
As mentioned at the beginning,
As mentioned at the beginning,
we now have three of the entrepreneurial operators
we now have three of the entrepreneurial operators
that are running right now on need,
that are running right now on need
participating on this space,
participating on this space.
But we have a set of other cloud validators
but we have a set of other cloud validators
that are also participating that have their own initiatives,
that are also participating
that have their own initiatives
that they are attending different regions.
and they are attending different regions.
I think that it's also worth to mention.
I think that it's also worth to mention,
And are looking for a creating partner
and are looking for creating partners with different communities
with different communities that are here in defense.
that are here in the best.
As also you can note,
As also you can note,
and this was like one of our first learnings inside of Metapool
and this was like one of our first learnings
inside of Metapool when we launched it.
when we launched our governance-based delegation
Our governance based delegation at the end of 2022.
at the end of 2022,
That when you're thinking validators,
that when you're thinking validators,
maybe you don't have in mind that there is a wide variety
you don't have in mind that there is a wide variety
of companies, individuals, communities
of companies, individuals, communities
that are running these validators for many different purposes.
that are running these validators
for many different purpose.
Some of them are just running these validators for fun,
Some of them are just running these validators for fun,
for technical challenge.
for technical challenge.
Other of them are doing this for business.
Other of them are doing this for business.
Other of them are making this for having a participation
Other of them are making this for having a participation
inside of the network to create awareness
inside of the network to create awareness
that they are inside of that.
that they are inside of that.
And this was very nice to know about this variety
It was very nice to know about this variety
because this helped us to create programs like this,
because this helped us to create programs like this,
like the entrepreneurial operators program,
like the enterprise node operators program
that focus on the specific needs
that focus on the specific needs
or that can have institutional rate organization
or that can have institutional rate organization
to become part of the NIR Foundation.
to became part of the NIR foundation.
Again, by that, thank you very much for joining the program
So again, by that, thank you very much
for joining the program
and for making it possible to start participating
and for making possible to start participating
inside of the NIR ecosystem.
inside of the NIR ecosystem.
So I want to go to inside of the next part,
I want to go inside of the next part,
the next question inside of this.
the next question inside of this.
So, and the question goes around this is,
The question goes around this.
If you have had any challenge to become part
if you have had any challenge to became part
of the NIR protocol ecosystem,
of the NIR protocol ecosystem.
and I mean in this that if you face challenge
And I mean in this,
that if you face challenge on technical side,
on technical side, on community side,
on community side, on getting on board of this program,
on getting on board of this program causes you some challenge
causes you some challenge and how are you facing them?
and how are you facing them?
And well, this also can work as it's been
Well, this also can work as it's been for other enterprises
for other enterprises to know how it is
to know how it is to participate inside of the NIR ecosystem.
to participate inside of the NIR ecosystem.
Matt, do you want to start on this?
So Matt, do you want to start on this?
Alan, sorry, I think I had a lack of network connectivity.
Alan, sorry, I think I had a lack of network connectivity.
Can you just quickly repeat the last sentences?
Can you just quickly repeat the last sentences?
Yes, the question is if you have some challenges
Yes, the question is,
if you have some challenges to start participating
to start participating in the NIR ecosystem,
in the NIR ecosystem,
even technical community or any others,
even technical community or any others
does this can work as a learning experience
and this can work as a learning experience
for other enterprises that are interested
for other enterprises that are interested
to became part of the NIR protocol.
to become part of the NIR protocol?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
So we were already validating
We were already validating before we joined the operator program,
before we joined the operator program.
So we had already the opportunity
so we had already the opportunity to overcome
to overcome the usual challenges
the usual challenges when you're on board in a new protocol,
when you're on board in a new protocol.
so this was definitely all right.
So this was definitely all right.
On the ESN, I think this is very important also,
On the ESN, I think this is very important
also what you mentioned before, right?
what Yuri mentioned before, right?
Like if you get more involved with the ecosystem
If you get more involved with the ecosystem
by joining the operator program,
by joining the operator program,
this operator program actually helps you
this operator program actually help you
to establish the right context to then expand with them.
to establish the right context
to then expand with them, right?
And so it was a little bit of a challenge
And so it was a little bit of a challenge
before we joined the Node Operator Program
before we joined the node operator program
to have the right context,
to have the right context,
to have the right understanding of,
to have the right understanding of, let's say, the governance setup,
let's say the governance setup,
but also the dynamics of the overall ecosystem,
not only for the institutions,
Not only for the institutions,
but also for the new developments, which is coming out.
but also for the new developments which is coming out.
And it was a great help with the program
And it was a great help with the program
that we see already, especially Metapool and the NIR Foundation,
that we see already,
especially Metapool and the NIR Foundation,
of course, in the background, in that sense,
of course, in the background in that sense,
to be a sort of a gateway for us, at least in the beginning,
to be a sort of a gateway for us,
at least in the beginning,
to establish the first context.
to establish the first context.
And that's why the challenging was overcame a lot
And that's why the challenging was overcame a lot
by the participation in the enterprise Node Operator Program.
by the participation in the network
and the enterprise node operator program.
Okay, perfect. Thank you much.
Okay, perfect.
Thank you much.
Yuri, do you want to answer this one?
Yoni, do you want to answer this one?
So, Hwasheh, which were the challenges that you faced
Which were the challenges that you faced
for entering inside of the enterprise program
for entering inside of the enterprise program
and the new protocol ecosystem?
and the new protocol ecosystem?
I mean, I can just repeat what Mark said.
I mean, I can just repeat what Mark said.
So our experience covers one-to-one,
So, our experience covers one-to-one,
but also Luganodes experienced.
but also Luger nodes experienced,
Getting in from a technical perspective is really not so difficult,
like getting in from a technical perspective
is really not so difficult,
especially if you have some experience from the Ethereum ecosystem
especially if you have like some experience
from the theorem ecosystem or from the customs ecosystem,
or from the Cosmos ecosystem.
It's really not that hard.
it's really not that hard.
It's really just to make sure, okay,
okay, how can we get started in this ecosystem?
how can we get started in this ecosystem?
How can we contribute?
How can we contribute?
What are the right people to talk to?
What are the right people to talk to?
Yeah, essentially just where to start
Yeah, essentially just where to start and get an orientation.
and get an orientation.
And therefore the enterprise node operators program
And therefore, the enterprise Node Operator Program
is idea to get an overview,
is idea to get an overview,
know to where to start and again.
know to where to start and again.
Yeah, a big thank you to you guys
Yeah, a big thank you to you guys
for making all of this possible,
for making all of this possible.
Because, yeah, this was the reason
because yeah, this was the reason
why we were actually able to get started on here.
why we were actually able to get started on here.
So, without becoming a part of Metapool,
So without becoming a part of Metapool,
it would not have been able for us to get into the ecosystem,
it would not have been able for us to get into the ecosystem,
stay there and just keep running on chain.
stay there and just keep running on-chain.
So yeah, I can just repeat what the Max just mentioned.
So, yeah, I can just repeat what Mark just mentioned.
Got it, perfect.
Got it, perfect.
TK Yuri, a stable lab,
Thank you, Yuri.
A stable lab, do you have any other specific challenge
do you have any other specific challenge
that you encounter when you are willing to participate
that you encounter when you are willing
to participate inside of NIA?
inside of NIR?
Yes, just pretty minor,
Yes, just pretty minor,
but we had already been scoping out
but we had already been scoping out
how to get involved and active in NIR governance
how to get involved and active in NIA governance
for quite some time.
for quite some time.
It was easy to see how to get involved
It was easy to see how to get involved
at the individual level,
at the individual level,
but it was a bit of a challenge to see how firms
but it was a bit of a challenge to see how firms
or companies or institutions could get involved
or companies or institutions could get involved
with the governance aspect on NIR,
with the governance aspect on NIA,
which deeply interested us.
which deeply interested us.
And so, after scoping this out for a couple months,
So after scoping this out for a couple months,
that was when we came across
that was when we came across
the Enterprise Node Operator Program,
the enterprise node operator program
and through this program have been able
and through this program have been able
to bring more visibility and awareness
to bring more visibility and awareness
to the services that we provide,
to the services that we provide,
such as architecting governance frameworks
such as architecting governance frameworks
for new or established DAOs,
for new or established gals,
designing incentive programs, and so on.
designing incentive programs and so on.
And so this has really been a great launch path for us
And so this has really been a great launch path
to connect with the key people,
for us to connect with the key people,
the key projects in the ecosystem
the key projects in the ecosystem
that we can provide these services to
that we can provide these services to
as a firm, as a company, as an institution,
as a firm, as a company, as an institution.
whereas like before, it was just sort of like
Whereas before it was just scoping out
scoping out at the individual level
at the individual level,
how we could be productive
how we could be productive
and contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem.
and contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem.
And so those were just like the minor challenges
And so those were just like the minor challenges
that we faced at the time,
that we faced at the time,
but I'm happy to say that we have started
overcoming them and are now in contact
and are now in contact with the right people.
with the right people.
And yeah, you should expect to see some more productivity
And yeah, you should expect to see some more productivity
in a holistic sense from Stable Lab in the near ecosystem.
in a holistic sense from stable lab
in the near ecosystem.
God, perfect.
God, perfect.
Yeah, I always talk about the Web3 ecosystem.
Yeah, I always thought about the web free ecosystem.
It's like a big city where there is a lot of doors
It's like a big city where there is a lot
of doors and you can go and knock any of these doors
and you can go and knock any of these doors
and expect to see what it goes,
and expect to see what it goes.
but it's always better when you have a guy
But it's always better when you have a guy
that takes you to the right places
that takes you to the right places
where you can find the exact information
where you can find the exact information
that you are looking for.
that you are looking for.
So I think this is something that is evolving
So I think this is something that is evolving
along with the community,
along with the community,
make it more easy for the people to get on board
make it more easy for the people to get on board
of the new ecosystem.
of the new ecosystem.
Well, we expect that it also can be a possible way
Well, we expect that it also can be a possible way
to make more easy for enterprises
to make more easy for enterprises
to start participating inside of the new protocol.
to start participating inside of the new protocol.
Well, I think so far we have been talking
Well, I think so far we have been talking
like the general idea that we have
like the general idea that we have
for the Enterprise Node Operators Program also,
for the Enterprise Node Operators Program also,
well, making like a presume,
well, making like a resume,
everyone of our invited operators
everyone of our invited operators talk about
talk about who are they,
who are they, what are the plans
what are the plans inside of the new ecosystem,
inside of the new ecosystem,
inside of the Enterprise Node Operators Program.
inside of the Enterprise Node Operators Program.
Well, it's like announcements made around that.
Well, it's like announcements made around that.
So it has been very good.
So it has been very good.
I want to jump into like the next section
I want to jump into like the next section
around these Twitter spaces.
around these Twitter spaces.
Also, all of these three invited operators,
Also, all of these three invited operators,
France Validator, Stable Lab, and Lugan Node
Friends Validator, Stable Lab, and Lugan Node
has confirmed to be attending Ethereum Denver.
has confirmed to be attending Ethereum Denver.
You know Ethereum Denver is happening
You know Ethereum Denver is happening
at the end of February, beginning of March.
at the end of February, beginning of March,
It is one of the biggest events
is one of the biggest events that is happening
that is happening about the web tree ecosystem
about the web3 ecosystem in North America.
in North America every year.
Every year it's an exciting opportunity
It's an exciting opportunity to meet with people
to meet with people and well,
and well, from our side we have invited
from our side we have invited these validators
these validators to participate
to participate inside of the new activities
inside of the new activities that the Foundation
that the new foundation is planning
is planning to be executing in Ethereum Denver.
to be executing in Ethereum Denver.
So Ethereum Denver is almost here.
So, and Ethereum Denver is almost here.
So what are your expectations for this event?
So what are your expectations for this event?
What are your expectations for the participation
What are your expectations for the participation
of need inside of these events?
of need inside of these events?
Stable Lab, do you want to start on this question?
Stable Lab, do you want to start on this question?
Yes, of course.
Yes, of course.
So we already know that the new ecosystem
So we already know that the new ecosystem
has a very vibrant community of developers,
has a very vibrant community of developers,
of creators, thought leaders,
of creators, thought leaders,
and we would really like to use this as an avenue
and we would really like to use this as an avenue
to start exchanging ideas,
to start exchanging ideas,
foster even more collaborations,
foster even more collaborations,
because I think the person aspect of events
because I think the person aspect of events
really helps to expedite these connections
really helps to expedite these connections
that could lead to very fruitful collaborations.
that could lead to very fruitful collaborations.
And so we are really glad to leverage
And so we are really glad to leverage
ETH Denver and the ETH Denver event for that.
ETH Denver and the ETH Denver event for that.
Of course, we are really focused on hitting our OKRs
Of course, we are really focused on hitting our OKRs.
and one of those is the marketing aspect.
And one of those is the marketing aspect.
We would like to leverage our channels.
We would like to leverage our channels.
We have a newsletter, we have a blog
We have a newsletter.
We have a blog that receives a lot of views and so on.
that receives a lot of views and so on.
And I think this event will give us
And I think this event will give us the right context
the right context to share our learnings
to share our learnings about the near ecosystem
about the near ecosystem
and from making first contact with projects
and from making first contact with projects
that we will potentially be working with,
that we will potentially be working with,
give us some really good insights that we can share
give us some really good insights that we can share
to bring more visibility on that angle.
to bring more visibility on that angle.
Also really interested in a lot of the new narratives
Also really interested in a lot of the new narratives
that we've seen coming out of near,
that we've seen coming out of near,
such as account abstraction,
such as account abstraction, chain abstraction,
chain abstraction, data availability.
data availability.
And so I think this would be a really great
And so I think this would be a really great
learning opportunity for us as well,
learning opportunity for us as well
to hear from the builders directly,
to hear from the builders directly,
to hear from the people proliferating these narratives,
to hear from the people proliferating these narratives,
especially project leads, founders and so on,
especially project leads, founders, and so on,
exactly what we can expect to see from near
exactly what we can expect to see from near
along like these lines
along like these lines,
and also give us like a good idea
and also give us like a good idea
of how we could contribute potentially on those angles.
of how we could contribute potentially on those angles.
OK, perfect.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Matt, do you want to go next?
Matt, do you want to go next?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm looking really much forward to it
I'm looking really much forward to it
because being an institutional great validator,
because being an institutional, a great validator,
we often attend institutional events.
we often attend institutional events.
So it's quite the opposite of eat Denver.
So it's quite the opposite of eat Denver.
It's more about compliance, more regulatory.
It's more about compliance, more regulatory.
So this is quite refreshing as a contrary, so to say, right?
So this is quite refreshing as a contrary,
so to say, right, a lot more colorful.
A lot more colorful.
And what I really appreciate about these sort of events
And what I really appreciate about these sort of events,
this also reminds me a lot of Deaf Connect
this also reminds me a lot of Dev Connect,
as some of you have been,
as some of you have been,
that it's always the state of the art of the development
that it's always the state of the art
in general, right?
of the development in general, right?
With all the hackathons,
With all the hackathons,
you get a really good understanding
you get a really good understanding
of what's coming up very in the near future.
what's coming up very in the near future,
No pun intended here.
no pun intended here.
And I always participating in these sort of events
And I always participating in these sort of events
learned a lot.
learned a lot.
I basically realized what I don't know, right?
I basically realized what I don't know, right?
Being in the space for years.
Being in the space for years.
So I always appreciate this knowledge boost
So I always appreciate this knowledge boost
by participating in these events in Denver.
by participating in these events in Denver.
And when it comes to near, obviously same as well here
And when it comes to near,
obviously same as well here when it comes to AA or DA,
when it comes to AA or DA, what's cooking behind that.
what's cooking behind that.
Also, of course, connecting with the team in person,
Also, of course, connecting with the team in person,
which is always very important.
which is always very important.
Also, of course, with made up pool.
Also, of course, we've made a pool.
And yeah, really looking forward to it again.
And yeah, really looking forward to it again.
I think the knowledge boost is very high
I think the knowledge boost is very high
in these sort of events.
in these sort of events.
And I recommend it to everyone to join.
And I recommend it to everyone to join.
It's also a lot of fun.
It's also a lot of fun.
Okay, perfectly.
Okay, perfectly.
Thank you very much, Matt.
Thank you very much, Matt.
Jordi, do you want to tell us what are your expectations
Jodie, do you want to tell us
what are your expectations for Ethereum Denver
for Ethereum Denver and near on that?
and near on that?
Yeah, certainly.
Yeah, certainly.
So it will be my second time in Denver.
