**Brief description of organization** :  
P2P Validator is a proven staking provider with a track-record of providing secure staking services for the most groundbreaking projects in the blockchain space. Our node infrastructure is under advanced monitoring with 24/7 technical support to provide clients with an unparalleled staking experience.

**Brief description of performance track record** :  
P2P Validator has contributed staking expertise across multiple networks including Cosmos, Polkadot, Solana, Tezos and more. With a 99% average uptime, we are dedicated to expanding PoS ecosystems whilst furthering the impact of global peer-to-peer economics.

**Overview of supported networks** :  
Tezos, Cosmos, Kava, Kusama, Polkadot, Nucypher, Terra, Irisnet, CyberWay, DAOBet, Solana, Cardano and Avalanche.

**Motivation for application** :  
We are supporters of liquid Ethereum staking protocols to improve access to ETH validation and to combat the risks associated with the centralisation of PoS services across centralised entities. Lido represents a highly-innovative approach to this, built around decentralisation and accessibility, and it is our wish to join the existing pool of exceptional DAO members to act as a Lido validator.

**Security set up for ETH staking** :

- Multi-region and multi-client infrastructure.
- 24/7 support and monitoring.

**History of participating in ETH testnet** :  
P2P participated in the Lido Goerli testnet and have been building infrastructure for Ethereum validation over the course of the past year.
