2018 is the year that Proof-of-Stake based protocols enter the market in a big way. With the launch of the Cosmos Network, following the mainnet launch of EOS and betanet launches of Tezos and Cardano. Casper FFG is on its way and many more. The pendulum is clearly swinging in the direction of PoS. And Stablenode offers a service to lower the barrier to entry for average cryptocurrency users to actively participate in providing multi-network security.
Stablenode is a premiere validator service. We will validate myriad Proof-of-Stake-based protocols, starting with the highest fidelity, and thus most technically demanding one: running a Cosmos Validator. After Stablenode's Cosmos Validator has been running at over 99.9999% uptime consistently, we will begin to run other validators.
