About ValidOrange

ValidOrange LLC is a US-based infrastructure operator in the Polkadot ecosystem. We operate validators for Polkadot, Kusama, and Paseo. (Yes, that was an Oxford comma. Deal with it.)

We are a proud participant in Web3 Foundation's Decentralized Nodes program, operating 5 DN validators on Kusama and 2 DN validators on Polkadot.

We also have two independent Kusama validators. These were previously participants in the Thousand Validators Programme, the precursor to Decentralized Nodes.

All of our Polkadot and Kusama validators are funded by the commissions earned from nominators.

We also operate 6 validators on the Paseo testnet. The operation of these nodes is funded by the Polkadot treasury.
