P2P Validator Joins Serum Project as a Node Operator

<p>Avalabs has just launched its main network so AVAX holders can now participate in staking and earn rewards.</p><blockquote><em><em>Please keep in mind that the data in the screenshots are taken from the test network.</em></em></blockquote><h2 id="what-do-i-need-to-do-to-start-delegating-my-avax"><strong>What do I need to do to start delegating my AVAX?</strong></h2><p>At the time of writing the only known wallet that will support AVAX delegation immediately after Everest starts is the official Avalanche wallet. If you participated in the public sale of Avalanche tokens, you might already have a wallet and certain amount of AVAX (that also could be delegated despite it's locked up) if not, you need to create the wallet first.</p><h2 id="create-your-avalanche-wallet"><strong>Create your Avalanche wallet</strong></h2><ol><li>Go to the <a href="https://wallet.avax.network/?ref=p2p.org">https://wallet.avax.network/</a></li><li>Choose the <code>Create new wallet</code> option.</li><li>Generate a 24 word key phrase for your wallet.

The blockchain ecosystem has already attracted thousands of software developers working on different things - applications, wallets, dashboards, explorers - but by inserting interoperability into this equation brings an additional challenge.</p><p>Imagine a situation where a user moves a chain A asset through bridge B to parachain X to open a Collateralized Debt Position (CDP), then uses received stablecoin to long a synthetic asset from parachain D on a margin trade chain E. Ten years ago this could sound like nonsense - but this is a reality now. To make efficient applications that would allow this behavior - the developers need appropriate tools.</p><p><em><em>"Default blockchain node interfaces are usually unsuited for complex or historical data queries. That makes building application on top of blockchains a complicated affair - you need to build your own data layer first. Interchain communication aggravets that problem even more"</em></em>, says Vasiliy Shapovalov, CTO of P2P Validator. <em><em>"Our goal is to exctract, clean, enrich, transform, and serve the blockchain data in way that will allow users to to merge several application-specific interchain requests in the single one."</em></em></p><p>To begin this journey, we've decided to create an ETL solution for blockchains with a GraphQL API for the collected data. The solution aims to add value and decrease development costs for every company or individual who is working on application development. GraphQL as an API query language has been chosen to unify the data interface to simplify the development process and provide the best quality real-time data for applications.</p><p>As a validator, we have a unique opportunity to develop such a system:</p><ul><li>we have developed our dashboards and other tools that require a deep dive into specific blockchain's architecture</li><li>blockchain node management does not add costs to the solution as we already maintain them</li><li>we are familiar with a variety of blockchains</li><li>we are trusted by more than 2000 users staking their assets with us</li></ul><p>Although our ultimate goal is to provide a high-quality data source for lots of blockchains, we've chosen Polkadot and Filecoin to be the pioneers in this project. We would love to see services that would utilize this solution and supply a justified demand for more blockchains to be added as data sources.</p><p><em><em>“We are excited to work together with Protocol Labs and P2P validator to create an interoperability-first data warehouse across all kinds of different blockchains. This will make it easier to integrate with different blockchains and ultimately help the entire ecosystem ”</em></em>, says David Hawig, Grants Lead at Web3 Foundation.</p><p><em><em>"In collaboration with Web3 Foundation we’re delighted to support P2P Validator as they build an ETL solution to simplify the process of building wallets, dashboards, explorers and apps that interact with multiple blockchains connected through interchain communication protocol"</em></em>, says Eva Shon, Grants Coordinator at Protocol Labs.</p><p>Stay in touch with us and visit our website and GitHub to know more!</p><h3 id="about-web3-foundation"><strong>About Web3 Foundation</strong></h3><p><a href="https://web3.foundation/?ref=p2p.org">Web3 Foundation</a> funds research and development teams building the technology stack of the decentralized web.
