General info:

• IcyCRO.org has launched two own validators to support the decentralization of the mainnet.

• We have used different kind of setups to find the optimal results for different kind of scenarios and we will share the results with the community.

• Mainnet of course needs "perfect" validators with almost 100% uptime, but there is also a need for cost optimized "good" validators in the bottom half of the validator list.

• We have sentries in different parts of the world. Full nodes, state synched and cloud based sentries.
