🚀 From an Exceptional Product to a Web3 Public Good

NodeOps offers AI-enabled infrastructure for Node Operators and developers, streamlining Web3 protocol development and operations.

📈 A Profitable Venture with an Exceptional Product: When Symbiote first engaged with NodeOps, we encountered a highly profitable Node operations business, with early supporters and partners including Akash, Cosmos Hub, Axelar, Archway, and other notable entities.

Led by Naman and a visionary team, NodeOps had already established a solid foundation by managing node infrastructure for Cosmos app chains.

In our initial discussions, NodeOps' clear vision and outstanding product resonated deeply with us. With years of experience in the Web3 ecosystem, we were aligned with NodeOps' ambitious goal of revolutionizing node operations.

💻 Node Operations as a Public Good: As conversations progressed, it became evident that NodeOps could achieve accelerated growth by positioning itself as a public good for Web3. We envisioned a scenario where any Web3 enthusiast could effortlessly run a node on NodeOps' platform.

But how to take the first step in this direction? 🤔 

🪂 The Airdrop Growth Engine:

Recognizing the surging popularity of airdrops as a growth mechanism for Web3 projects, we identified an opportunity in providing nodes-as-a-service. NodeOps was uniquely positioned to capitalize on this burgeoning space.

🎮 XAI Node Campaign: Having supported XAI Games as one of their early node backers, we discussed with NodeOps the idea of them providing node operation services for XAI Sentry Node runners. 

After a connection to XAI from us, NodeOps seamlessly integrated support for XAI node management. This initiative gained immense traction, with over 100 XAI nodes currently operational on NodeOps' platform.

Subsequently, NodeOps expanded its support to chains including Shardeum, Avail, and Zora, demonstrating its agility and adaptability in the dynamic Web3 landscape.

The collaboration between Symbiote and NodeOps has empowered the latter to overcome the dynamic challenges of Web3, propelling them forward on their journey.

💻 The Team Behind the the Node Operations Revolution

Naman Kabra, Pratik Balar, and Jagadish Chudasma and three other members make up the driving force behind NodeOps.

Naman's journey into the realms of Web3 began with a relentless pursuit of innovation at Bosch, where he explored tokenization strategies and ventured into the heart of decentralized technologies.

With Pratik’s expertise in DevSecOps and Jagadish’s mastery of UI/UX development added in, this laid the foundation for NodeOps—a testament to their collective vision for simplifying Web3 infrastructure.

🌱 An Idea Is Born: Sparked by a Shared Realization

 💡 NodeOps emerged from a shared realization of the need for infra-level optimization and deeper contributions to the Web3 ecosystem. 

Inspired by their experiences and driven by a passion for innovation, Naman, Pratik, and Jagadish united to create a platform that empowers developers to focus on creativity while NodeOps handles the complexities of infrastructure management.

NodeOps envisions a future where developers can unleash their creativity without barriers. With a mission to create a sustainable value capture engine, NodeOps leverages AI-powered solutions to simplify Web3 development. 

🏆 A Quick Milestone Recap

 🤖 From introducing an AI-powered playground to incorporating containerized infrastructure setup and monitoring tools, NodeOps is  setting the standard for streamlined Web3 development.  

Their commitment to innovation and user-centric design reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence.

Here are highlights of what the incredible team have managed to achieve in a relatively short duration of time:

💻 The NodeOps Console

A groundbreaking tool designed to streamline node operations, the NodeOps Console offers a simplified developer environment, AI-enhanced efficiency, and unified node management.

 📌 Developers can access NodeOps infrastructure with just one click, setting up various node types across multiple blockchain networks effortlessly.

Here’s a look at the mobile interface (also check out this glowing review of the interface by a user)-

💹 600 Keys within 2 Weeks!

NodeOps are running a staggering 600+ blockchain nodes within the first 2 weeks of the console launch - this includes nodes for XAI, Celestia, Avail, ZOR & Shardeum. This shows how immensely popular their console is - check it out here : console.nodeops.xyz

👪 Engagement with Discord Community 

NodeOps launched its Discord community to help foster dynamic interaction and collaboration. Engagement with the community signifies NodeOps' commitment to transparent communication and community involvement.

👉️ Our community strategists reviewed several models of NodeOps' competitors and studied their failures and successes. 

We used the learnings to offer NodeOps a tailored pathway to setup & grow their Discord. We are presently managing, stress-testing and aligning the community to highest industry standards.

🪄 MagicSquare Listing 

NodeOps got listed on MagicSquare, a leading Web3 app store. The Web3 App Store helps discover, explore, and engage with a diverse range of vetted Web3 apps and games. This increases visibility for NodeOps in the space.

👉️ Nodeops attended the Symbiote Web3 Go-to-market Fundamentals masterclass, where Tote from Magicsquare was the speaker. 

NodeOps then connected to MagicSquare through us, requested a listing and before long were listed on the marketplace.

🎮 XAI Sentry Node Operator

NodeOps took a giant leap in empowering the XAI community with streamlined Sentry Node management (as mentioned earlier). 

This launch allows Sentry Key Holders to entrust NodeOps for hassle-free infrastructure management, ensuring enhanced performance, security, and reliability. With no exposure to private keys and automated upgrades, developers can focus on innovation without worrying about infrastructure complexities.

📌 Did you know: NodeOps are the first and only Node Operator for XAI.
