Building and managing Polkadot validators and tools with precision and reliability.

Our Contributions to the Polkadot Ecosystem


βœ… 1. Weekly Infra Insights

Real-world infrastructure observations for Polkadot & Kusama

Short, practical notes based on real infrastructure incidents:
β€’ peer churn patterns
β€’ NVMe pressure during replay
β€’ latency spikes on certain providers
β€’ CPU / IO saturation under load

These insights help DN candidates and node operators understand how the network behaves under stress.

βœ… 2. Node Migration Playbooks

Safe and verifiable node transfers between servers

Step-by-step guides for migrating Polkadot nodes without risking database corruption:
β€’ app-hash verification
β€’ height/finality comparison
β€’ proper state transfer
β€’ safe transitions to new DCs or hardware

Used by operators preparing infrastructure for DN participation.

βœ… 3. AstroSynx Snapshots Hub

Fast sync snapshots for Polkadot & Kusama

Regularly updated:
β€’ Archive snapshots (full history)
β€’ Pruned snapshots (lightweight fast sync)

Used by DN candidates and operators for:
β€’ rapid node startup
β€’ fast recovery after issues
β€’ infrastructure bootstrap

βœ… 4. Self-Healing Scripts + Open RPC Cluster

Automation + diagnostics for stable node operations

Lightweight self-healing scripts:
β€’ stalled height detection
β€’ peer-loss recovery
β€’ auto-restart on critical failures
β€’ basic monitoring patterns

Plus an open RPC/WS cluster for:
β€’ diagnostics
β€’ height verification
β€’ header/state validation
