📚Behind every blockchain is a layer most users never see. Full nodes, miners, validators, endpoints, relayers, archive systems, snapshots, monitoring, and security operations all work together to turn protocol design into a real, usable network. We’ve started a new ChainTools article series focused on blockchain infrastructure from an operator’s perspective.

Behind every seamless cross-chain transaction, there’s an unsung hero—relayers. These numbers from @SmartStake show who’s been putting in the work to keep @Fetch_ai interchain connections alive and thriving over the last 30 and 90 days. Salute to the top operators: 🔹 Architect Nodes 🔹 Cros-nest 🔹 Cosmos Rescue 🔹 Inter Blockchain Services 🔹 ChainTools IBC is more than tech—it’s a movement. Respect to the builders🫡 #IBCgang

@SmartStake shows the busiest Fetch AI relayer operators for last 90 days. Amazing work by IBC gang 🤝 Architect Nodes Cosmos Rescue ChainTools Inter Blockchain Services #IBCgang

ChainTools is there you can stake with them. Or you can check out other validators with less voting power, we're trying to keep that balanced. But make sure you pick one you trust. It's up to you. I can't recommend just one, plenty of them are contributing. 😀

This is an excellent opportunity for AI and machine learning developers to discover the massive potential of the Akash Supercloud. 5⃣ The Uniswap protocol is coming to @Sagaxyz__ . Earlier this month, Uniswap V3 was deployed on Saga’s natively multichain protocol. Instead of deploying on a shared L1 or L2 environment, the Uniswap protocol is deployed on a dedicated appchain (a Chainlet named “Sagaevm”). The Sagaevm Chainlet leverages Saga’s Liquidity Integration Layer (LIL) to automate bridging and routing infrastructure deployment, solving liquidity fragmentation in a natively multichain environment. For DeFi protocols, deploying on a Saga appchain comes with significant benefits: ✔️Saga’s native multichain protocol offers significant DeFi scalability. ✔️Users of Uniswap on Saga are able to transact without gas payments. ✔️Improvements and customizations to the underlying chain infrastructure can be deployed much faster than on a generalized L1/L2. 🌐 More details here: medium.com/sagaxyz/the-first… 6⃣ @SputnikNetwork latest most important updates in docs of Sputnik Network: ✔️ $SIGNAL will not have inflation, rewards will be distributed from SubPools ✔️ $SIGNAL StakeDrop become StreamDrop; ✔️ stETH Lido holder added to StreamDrop. 🌐 More info here: docs.sputniknetwork.digital 7⃣ @passageio 2024 highlights: ✔️Launched Closed Alpha with teams across education, entertainment, 3D production, Web3, and more. 446 events were hosted with over 3,200 user hours spent in-world! ✔️ completed the integration with Aakash Network, built on a fully custom C interface for UnrealEngine on Linux.
