Contributions & Tools

StakeBaby has contributed to the Dotsama ecosystem by creating and running services such as:

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:

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
