Thank you for expressing your interest in joining the CoreDAO validator set. Your extensive experience and proven track record in validating blockchains will undoubtedly contribute to the security, reliability, and growth of the Core network. We appreciate your commitment to actively supporting our ecosystem and look forward to further engagement as we move forward in the onboarding process.
Thank you for your support and continued contribution to the Core ecosystem. We appreciate your commitment to actively supporting our ecosystem. We’re equally excited to welcome new validators from around the world, as their diverse contributions will further strengthen the network’s decentralization and security.
I’m Hyunggi Kim from DSRV, and we are thrilled to hear about the expansion of Core’s active validator set!
DSRV, a leading blockchain infrastructure company based in Seoul, South Korea, is excited to express our keen interest in serving as a validator for CoreDAO.
As a top blockchain infrastructure provider, we operate validator nodes for over 50 global blockchains, offering enterprise-grade Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) and a multi-chain development suite that includes wallets, compilers, and other tools. With our recent acquisition of the VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) License, we are now equipped to run custodial services, further reinforcing our reputation as a trusted and compliant player in the blockchain space.
Committed to advancing a sustainable Web3 ecosystem and developing cutting-edge solutions, we believe our expertise aligns perfectly with the goals of CoreDAO.
Leveraging our extensive experience and strong reputation, we are confident that we can enhance the security and reliability of the Core chain and contribute to the growth of the network.
Blocmates is a leading crypto media publication with a robust distribution network across Twitter, YouTube, and various other social channels. We are excited to propose running a CORE validator in partnership with our technology partners, Firstset. Firtset has extensive experience with running validators across many chains.
Our goal is to give back to the CORE community. We have previously covered CORE and its ecosystem multiple times through our general and Bitcoin-specific channels. We are committed to continuing our support for Core through our content creation initiatives and would appreciate the opportunity to further this mission.
On behalf of Pier Two (piertwo.com), I am thrilled to express our interest in becoming a Core DAO Validator as part of the CIP-2 initiative.
About Pier Two:
We are an Australian-based, leading institutional staking provider with a strong track record of running highly secure and performant validation infrastructure. Since our establishment in 2018, we have partnered with exchanges, funds, custodians, and foundations, now safeguarding billions in assets under stake and delegation. Our experience includes running Chainlink infrastructure since 2019 (including on Bitcoin) and receiving an Ethereum Foundation grant to develop Lantern, an Ethereum light client.
Why Core DAO?
Pier Two is excited to deepen our involvement in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin staking ecosystems, and recognise Core’s leadership in both. We recognise the incredible potential of the Core blockchain and are eager to contribute to its decentralisation and security.
We are excited to join this vibrant ecosystem and collaborate with the Core community!
Validation Cloud is excited to join the CORE validator set to help source BTC delegations, participate in governance, and expand our RPC, Data, and ai offerings to the community.
It’s with great anticipation that we here at CoreChain Finance (Computer Development Systems) look forward to becoming part of the Core ecosystem and support fellow crypto-enthusiasts and the network of which Core operates. We fully support Core DAO’s CIP-2 initiative and look forward to adding our CoreChain Finance – Aquila node as a supporting validator within the Core network and our future CoreChain Finance – Pheire node.
Our company and organization bring over 30 years of technology experience for datacenter, development and support to organizations globally of all sizes. We support the growth and prosperity of the cryptocurrency markets and have active Bitcoin miners in our datacenter.
Our goal is to not only support the Core network through validation, but also give back to the community by being an active and involved member of the ecosystem.
As Core DAO expands its validator network, the need for reliable, experienced validators becomes crucial for the ecosystem’s security and growth. Since 2018, Allnodes, a non-custodial staking and node hosting platform, has been building the infrastructure backbone for over 110 blockchain networks, managing over $5B in assets while maintaining an impeccable security record.
What sets us apart isn’t just our technical capabilities—it’s our commitment to making blockchain infrastructure accessible. Our Allnodes validator-as-a-service solution ensures 24/7 uptime across multiple data centers worldwide. At the same time, our one-click staking interface makes participation accessible to both retail and institutional users, directly addressing Core’s goal of enhanced decentralization and broader participation.
In addition to the Allnodes staking and node hosting platform, we’ve demonstrated our commitment by providing various communities with free RPC endpoints through added services like publicnode.com. This aligns perfectly with Core’s vision of strengthening BTCfi and ensuring network resilience through decentralization.
We understand the challenges Core faces in its growth phase. Network stability, validator reliability, and institutional-grade infrastructure are crucial for supporting increasing transaction volumes and maintaining trust. Having supported projects like Babylon, Berachain, and Ether.fi through similar growth phases, we’re well-positioned to help Core navigate these challenges.
We’re not just applying for a validator position but committing to being an active infrastructure partner in Core’s journey toward becoming a leading force in BTCfi.
DappRadar would appreciate the opportunity to become a part of the CoreDAO community as a network validator.
For those of you who do not know us, DappRadar acts as a hub for all aspects of blockchain and dapp adoption. The website has been building, and evolving, since 2018.
DappRadar currently attracts an average of 750k monthly visitors, and averages 1.5 million monthly visitors in favourable market conditions. Our users cover the entire spectrum of web3, from developers, investors, influencers, all the way to crypto degens, all of whom regularly visit the platform to keep up with the dapp trends, industry news, market data, and (of course) discover projects across a multitude of categories.
Core is an integrated chain on our platform, and metrics and stats on dapps in its ecosystem can be found by following this link: https://dappradar.com/chain/core.
We would like to build upon this support for the CoreDAO community further and become a network validator. DappRadar is already successfully running nodes for several chains, and has successfully onboarded new delegators to other networks.
We are in a unique position as we already have a dedicated community that is naturally exposed to Core through the use of our website. As part of becoming a validator, we would build upon this further by promoting Core using multiple channels, such as blog articles, social media posts, newsletter mentions, website banners, and quests. We feel confident that by employing a mix of all of these DappRadar will bring even more attention, users, and traffic to Core.
