You have a compelling introduction, i must confess, in the section where you were outlining the list networks you run validating for, you didn’t provide links to confirm your claims and testimonial links as well from this networks. One can’t be over careful this days. I look forward to see your impact on dYdX chain(as it would be called very soon) and your answers to the question i raised. Thanks.
