Validator Panel
summary
Multiple validators report concrete scale and tooling: one operator now runs ~75 proof‑of‑stake protocols, Strangelove supports ~20 networks, Dora Factory validates 30+ mainnets/testnets and reallocates validator profits for grants. Technical contributions include Strangelove’s horcrux key‑sharding for multisig security and Allnodes’ click‑to‑vote governance tool on Allnodes plus RPC and relayer work. Testnet onboarding, predictable testnet schedules, uptime monitoring and OpsGenie‑style rotations determine whether a chain is adopted and stays supported.
