Chainflow Validator and Staking Network Advisory Services

Through Chainflow, I operate validators on staking networks. Did you know I also offer advisory services to staking networks?

I advise staking networks on topics like -

  • Validator program development
  • Validator communications and documentation
  • Token economics design
  • Incentivized testnet design
  • Encouraging stake decentralization
  • Go-to-market strategy, planning and execution
  • Product use cases

Keep reading to learn why I do this and how it works. You can also learn about the networks I work with and read the nice things they say about working with me.

So Many Networks with Limited Time and Attention

Focusing on a select client group is increasingly important as the number of staking networks proliferates. The advisory structure allows me to provide focused and consistent attention to  clients.

It's simply not possible to keep up with them all any longer. There are too many networks completing for capable validators' attention these days.

Supporting Decentralization

Income generated from these services also helps subsidize the time I spend running validators as an independent operator. So the networks I advise are helping support decentralization in the process.

Clients and Their Experiences

Networks I'm advising and have advised include -

  • Akash
  • Flow by Dapper Labs
  • Matic
  • NuCypher
  • Regen Network
  • Skale
  • Solana

Here are a few nice things people from these networks have said about working with me 😊

Greg Osuri, CEO, Akash

MacLane Wilkison, Co-Founder and CEO, NuCypher

Working with Chris has been a pleasure and he has delivered consistent value to our project from the start. We were looking for a partner who could help us develop our network validator tools, while also providing insight and feedback from a validator's perspective. Chris has reliably been this voice and has helped us on projects as far ranging as validator dashboards to efficient communication strategies.
Chainflow has also been one of the most active validators on our protocol to date and Chris goes out of his way to lend his experience and expertise to help other validators in the community.
In addition to his deep technical chops, Chris' insights and feedback throughout the partnership have been clear, well-thought out and patiently communicated. In a fast paced, ever changing startup environment, Chris' ability to roll with the punches and effectively deliver on technical, operational and strategic levels has been invaluable.

Eric Williams, Chief Scientist, Solana

"Chris has supported the creation and implementation of our Incentivized Testnet. His technical skills, strategic thinking, and past experiences have provided us critical Validator perspectives and inputs to reflect on while building out our program.  We continue to value his suggestions and on-going feedback as an active Validator and member of our community".

Jack O'Holleran, CEO & Ebru Engwall, Director of Solutions Engineering, Skale Labs

Chris’ experience in the vast world of blockchain, especially related to validators and staking networks, is incredible testimony for the challenges the ecosystem faces at an operational level. I’m consistently impress by his expert knowledge of the nuances of working in the space and the thoughtfulness of his responses. Chris has been beyond helpful for illuminating some of the less well understood elements of the space.

Layne Lafrance, Flow Product Manager, Dapper Labs

"It's been a terrific experience working with Chris. His experience, integrity, and passion in the space truly helped us put together a high-caliber and engaged staking ecosystem that continues to grow!"

Karim Zeine, Business Operations Lead, AION

We appreciate Chris's attention to detail.  He has a knack for seeing and calling out what needs to be clear and well documented in order to build a solid community.  We are so often "in the weeds" that his perspective and attention to detail are essential for making our blockchain usable for validators and users alike.

Gregory Landua, Chief Regeneration Officer, Regen Network
