What motivates our interest in assuming the role of a Keyper is our extensive experience as professional software engineers running validator nodes across multiple blockchain networks under our brandname, “moodman”. Observing the evolution of Shutter protocol’s initial deployment on Ethereum and its overarching objective to mitigate front-running through the implementation of threshold cryptography-based Distributed Key Generation (DKG), we are enthusiastic about playing a role in fostering the ecosystem’s expansion and achievement as a reliable Keyper. We aspire to become the pioneer proposer for Keyper within the Shutter protocol, channeling our expertise to contribute to its continuous growth and success. Our previous experience with test nodes includes setting up and managing test nodes for various projects. We have worked with distributed systems, blockchain networks, and computer clusters, running tests to ensure their functionality, performance, and reliability. We are familiar with various test environments and configurations, and have successfully troubleshooted and optimized nodes. Our validator is the pinnacle of reliability that you can rely on in any environment. We work hard to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the network. However, our efforts are not limited to reliability. We go further and take care of security to ensure that the network remains steadfast in the face of any potential threats and abuses. We also pride ourselves on our flexibility, which allows us to adapt our validator to any requirements and unique needs of a particular network. Regardless of its size, complexity, or features, we are always ready to find the best solution to properly support your project. Our team is always one step ahead, responding instantly to updates and changes to keep your network running at peak efficiency. Our passionate desire to help ensures that your network is up and running smoothly throughout your journey to success.

At Moodman Validator Team, we take security seriously and adhere to these fundamental practices: Fortified Infrastructure: We prioritize robust access controls, authentication mechanisms, and secure hardware configurations. Regular updates and proactive measures, like firewalls and intrusion detection, strengthen our defense against threats. Key Security Measures: Our approach to key management emphasizes safety for both validator and user funds. We employ hardware wallets and multi-signature setups, regularly rotate keys, and maintain secure backups. Strict authentication and limited key access are non-negotiable. Staying Up-to-Date: We’re committed to staying current with the latest software releases. This includes essential security patches and bug fixes for all software components and dependencies. Constant Network Vigilance: Vigilant monitoring of network traffic, system logs, and server health helps us swiftly respond to security incidents and anomalies. Securing Communication Channels: Our communication channels are fortified through encryption protocols and stringent access controls. Regular security audits ensure the integrity of these channels. Expert Reviews and Audits: We regularly subject our software, contracts, and custom code to external security experts’ audits and thorough code reviews, ensuring vulnerabilities are promptly addressed. Active Community Participation: As proud members of the COSMOS community, we actively share insights, best practices, and collaborate with fellow validators to collectively enhance network security. Prepared for the Worst: Moodman Validator Team has comprehensive disaster recovery plans and well-defined incident response procedures. These encompass strategic backups, redundancy, and efficient protocols to handle any security challenges. Our adherence to these practices, tailored to our Moodman approach, ensures the safety and security of our validator infrastructure and contributes to the overall strength of the network.
