Contributions & Tools
StakeBaby has contributed to the Dotsama ecosystem by creating and running services such as:
stakeglmr.com, stakemovr.com, stakebnc.com, staketur.com, stakeztg.com - Staking, analytics, and personal account dashboards based on our own indexing platform.
polkawatch.io - An alarm platform for watching nodes.
Uptime & Failover
StakeBaby always runs 1-2 backup servers in different datacenters, operates its own private telemetry, and uses automated failover based on AWS services:

With proxy accounts: Automatic Validator Failover with One Microservice | by Ioannis Tsiokos | Diversified Validator Network
StakeBaby Mission
We believe that collators need to be more than node operators. In our view, collators must be able to
- Write software and interact programmatically with the chain
- Invest in branding, content, and software tools for delegators
- Write smart contracts for advanced risk management
- Help other collators by sharing their tooling
