Hello Aptos Community from Openbitlab team
About us
We are five crypto builders with 6 years of experience in network validation, who designed professional infrastructures to guarantee high uptime and responsiveness during critical updates.
We started block production activities in Lisk, the first-ever delegated-proof-of-stake network, and then we expanded our infrastructure to support innovative networks like Tezos, Polkadot, Kusama, and Cosmos-based chains (E-Money, Kujira, StaFi).
We are active on 15+ blockchains, with $20m+ in staked value.
We are following Aptos for months, supporting the network by running a node.
Our Infrastructure
LXC container on bare metal dedicated server on Hetzner farm in Falkenstein - Germany: AMD Ryzen 32 core, 132gb ram, 3.5TB NVME Datacenter edition, 1Gbs bandwidth.
Our infrastructure also includes a backup server ready to replace our main server and located on another farm.
Our servers integrate various protection features:
- Zabbix agents connected to our Zabbix servers for real-time monitoring
- Encrypted disk, to protect data from physical access
- UFW firewall, to block access to unused ports
- Fail2Ban, to block incorrect authentications attempts
- SSH access through simple user (no direct root access allowed)
- Periodically change of the root password
- Custom monitoring tool for Aptos (GitHub - openbitlab/srvcheck: Srvcheck helps you to monitor blockchain nodes)
- Additional monitoring with Prometheus+Grafana
