Stake with Seraph Staking 👓🐇

…My pseudonym is Orilaz, in the non-crypto world, I am a DevOps and software architect for a large company where I take care of an high availability online platform, handling 10k+ simultaneous users and 60k+ daily users.

I have been involved in Switcheo since 2017 where I firstly contributed to the ecosystem with the Switcheo.Net library as part of the API development competition “V2 Extravaganza”. Since then, this library has been downloaded over 2.7k times.

Shortly after the launch of Switcheo Tradehub, I decided to launch my own validator. This project was created primarily for the community, my goal was to offer reliable, fast and affordable service to everyone who would like to stake their SWTH (Switcheo).

More recently, I’ve contributed to many projects for Switcheo TradeHub like our mobile app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.seraph.app), a TradeHub Explorer (https://explorer.maitepora.org) and a missed block alerter (https://github.com/Mai-Te-Pora/TradeHub.MissedBlocksAlerter)

I’m also member of Mai Te Pora (https://github.com/Mai-Te-Pora/) a group of developers and early supporters committed to growing the Switcheo Ecosystem.

Seraph’s architecture is designed to avoid any downtime.

Our system is KMS and Sentry compliant, in addition each node runs within an Azure Container Instance.

If needed, we can scale-out our setup almost instantly.

All of our instances are backed up once a day.

Furthermore, we monitor our entire infrastructure on a hourly/daily basis with fine-tuned dashboards and alerting.

For Governance decisions, basically I speak with others validators first and follow conversations in Switcheo Telegram / Discord, after that I submit a prevote on TradeHub, inform all of my stakers through my TG group and let them modify the vote if they don’t agree with the decision.
