About Us
We aim to unite the biggest and most prominent Polkadot communities in order to support their healthy growth and the decentralization of the network.
Hi, I am Petr and I started the Polkadotters community with my colleague Pavel. We are from Czechia, a small country in the heart of Europe. We are really pleased to be a part of this initiative because we believe that the community should be the one with power over the network!
At PromoTeam we believe that validation is a philosophical contribution. Acting as your voice in the network and means of collaborating with the community. We believe that the validation role goes beyond just producing blocks and have constant uptime.
As a developer, I often like to look "under the hood". Polkadot is said to be a bet against blockchain maximalism, that’s why we united independent community-led initiatives around the world under one Alliance, so let’s jump on this exciting journey together!
Hey, I’m Patrick from Germany and I’m representing pathrocknetwork and MillenniumClub or MCLB. We are running several validators for different projects and protocols and I am so happy to be able to join the alliance of like-minded validators where we share similar goals and values.
I’m bLd from France. Little last one, I started my journey with a few geek friends a few months ago, we created bLd Nodes for our first validator node on Kusama. With our experience in sysadmin and blockchain development, we aim to provide a secure and reliable service for our validator nodes.
Stakenode is a getaway to the Polkadot economy. We deliver all possible options for Proof-of-Stake tokens in the Polkadot ecosystem. We provide Validator Services to all POS Polkadot projects bringing you the possibility to stake Your tokens like $DOT $KSM $FIS $PCX with other network coming.
Sik is a true Web3 native. Working for a blockchain company full-time, core member of HydraDX, councilor/registrar/moderator/ambassador in many DotSama projects and also running safe and reliable self-hosted validators and collators at crifferent.de.
Hey, I'm Luca Poggi from Italy. I spent and also I'm spending a lot of time in studying Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem and helping other people: I'm admin of Polkadot Network Italia, Kusama Network Italia and almost all Parachains Italian groups on Telegram.
