Hi there, I'm Rhytia!

I'm a seasoned Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer and Validator with a proven track record of supporting leading Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks. Since 2020, I've been deeply embedded in the blockchain ecosystem, specializing in robust node deployment, maintenance, and optimization.

My expertise lies in building and managing secure, high-uptime validator infrastructure, contributing to the decentralization and security of innovative web3 projects. I have extensive hands-on experience across diverse consensus mechanisms and network architectures.

🌐 Network & Project Experience I have successfully operated validator and testnet nodes for a wide range of prominent blockchain ecosystems, including:

Polkadot Family: Supporting the Polkadot relay chain and various parachains.

Cosmos Ecosystem: Participating in the Interchain, running nodes for Cosmos Hub and numerous Zone projects.

Layer 1 & Layer 2 Innovations: Early-stage and mainnet node operation for high-throughput chains like:

Aptos

Aleph Zero

Massa

Humanode

Ario

Nulink

Meson Network

Althea

Minima

Cess

Dusk

Ar-io

0G

Over

Artela ...and many more (ask me about specific networks!).

🛠️ Technical Skill Set Infrastructure: Linux Server Administration (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS), Cloud Platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Hetzner), Bare Metal Server management.

DevOps & Automation: Docker, Ansible, Terraform, Shell Scripting (Bash).

Monitoring & Security: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, Firewalls (UFW, iptables), SSH hardening, Sentry Node architecture.

Blockchain Specifics: Private key management, double-signing prevention, p2p networking configuration, genesis block participation, protocol upgrade execution.

🚀 What I Offer Reliable Validation: Committed to maintaining high uptime and performance standards for all validated networks.

Active Contribution: Enthusiastic about participating in testnets, providing technical feedback, and contributing to open-source tooling.

Community Engagement: Actively involved in validator communities, sharing knowledge and collaborating on technical solutions.

Focus on Decentralization: Dedicated to supporting projects that prioritize true decentralization and community governance.
