Another week in validating for the Cosmos ecosystem is in the books. We added another mainnet chain as a genesis validator, Jackal Protocol, but had to halt due to a chain security issue. We will announce when that is back up and running.
EVMOS Node Maintenance
In the meantime, we spent some time optimizing our EVMOS node as the database is getting quite large, we were only down for a bit, but back up and running as soon as the maintenance was complete. We pride ourselves in having 100% uptime, so the occasional maintenance is needed to ensure that our node is running in tip-top shape.
Moving DAO Donations To The Blockchain
Starting this month we are moving our DAO donations to the blockchain via the REGEN Network. We are going to be researching the different projects and highlighting them in various posts and will choose one to start our first DAO vote with!
We are excited to finally start the DAO voting for our EVMOS delegators. We are in discussions internally on how best to proceed with further cZERO airdrops to other chains so we didn't incur the issues we had with the EVMOS token claim.
DAO Numbers
This week we saw a much better week, but still not near our top week by any means. The donation amount this week is $108.76. We are going to be sending our last donation to Ecologi on the 1st and from that point, we will be accumulating USDC to use for blockchain based carbon credits through REGEN!
We are also actively looking for other opportunities for donations including the Giving Block and Angel Protocol. For now we will be sticking with REGEN. We have also been looking into what it would take to get a node running, but we would need a huge push or a team delegation to get to where it would break even or be profitable enough for us to have anything for donations.
Let us know if you would support us if we ran a REGEN validator node!
We Are carbonZERO
carbonZERO is a full service, eco-conscious validator node operator, providing infrastructure for several blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem. We run top of the line bare metal servers with data centers that work to be carbon neutral. Our node architecture consists of frontline sentry nodes for ultimate security running TMKMS for double sign protection. We also run 24 hour monitoring on all nodes to help secure against any significant down time.
We are a small but highly passionate team, not only around blockchain validation, security, and decentralization, but also around protecting and preserving our environment for generations to come. This is why we have started our eco-friendly DAO where we donate up to 20% of our commissions to ecological projects around the world, primarily focused on planting trees to offset carbon emissions. Our DAO members help direct our donations through governance voting and proposals.
Stake your $EVMOS, $JUNO, $CMDX, $MNTL, $ROWAN, $HUAHUA, $STRD, $TORI, and $NOM with carbonZERO using our Restake app and if Authz is available, you will be able to auto-compound your tokens!
