High Stakes is validator and software editor based out of Geneva.

Active since 2021 and registered as a company in 2022, we validate over 15 mainnets in the Cosmos ecosystem, focusing on those that bring value and novel ideas.

Our IBEX Loyalty Program (https://highstakes.ch/earn-ibex) allows our stakers to boost their APR by earning extra $ATOM.

Our latest project is Stellee, a mobile application for users to receive real-time notifications about their assets and interests, in full anonymity: https://stellee.highstakes.ch/ --the aim is to support many chains in the coming months.

We use a mix of virtual machines and baremetal servers scattered across Europe. All machines have a strict security configuration and our monitoring systems check and alert on all parameters, allowing us to have an excellent QoS.

We discuss and agree internally on the vote option for each proposal, also listening to the different arguments on social media when the decision isn't obvious. The underlying principle is that we always vote for what is best for the ecosystem and the projects, and not for what is best for us personnally.
