Trust is easy to claim. It is harder to make it inspectable.
Valigator has completed its SOC 2® Type I examination, covering controls relevant to security.
One more way our clients can verify how we operate. Thanks to @prescientsec and @DrataHQ.
I'll be attending @SuperteamBLKN's Solana Summit in Belgrade, Serbia the next few days. If you are here or want to talk about Solana validators services with @ValigatorTech, come chat!

We've been so excited about this announcement! Valigator is proud to be running DoubleZero's testnet and so grateful for the recent delegated stake. This is how we IBRL together.
DoubleZero has launched a 3M SOL stake pool.
It’s designed to expand DoubleZero’s high-performance fiber network, support early testnet users, accelerate validator performance and unlock geographic decentralization across the @Solana ecosystem long-term.
Let’s break down what this really means for Solana: ↓
Hey @eden_, I would love to get access to the DoubleZero Slack project as well as the monthly call if possible. Let me know the best way to connect. Thanks!
