Hi
Gavin here from Figment. We’d love to join the Vega community in all of the ways. We’re builders, staking service providers, and investors too.
Company: Figment (check us out!)
Figment is based out of Canada and has been operating staking infrastructure since 2018. Our founders have a combined 30+ years of successfully starting and scaling internet infrastructure companies. This deep background in infrastructure and security, combined with a passion for decentralized technologies, led to the launch Figment in 2018. Check out our ever-growing team here (and message me if you’re looking for work).
Experience
We’re running staking infra on 30+ mainnets for a wide variety of stakeholders, including institutional customers. We also run indexing services that bootstrap developer activity via DataHub, which for which we manage performant node infrastructure and build API services. We are particularly adept with Cosmos SDK based protocols, and we make tools like Hubble.
Security, Reliability, and Performance
Institutional clients depend on us to run secure, reliable, and performant operations. Please read this.
Communication
The best way to contact is us via support@figment.io
Governance
We have a history of trailblazing governance best practices and driving governance activity.
- Cosmos Hub gov docs & best practices for parameter changes and community spend proposals
- Cosmos Hub governance working group (article includes history of gov involvement)
Fun fact! We coordinated the first major Cosmos Hub upgrade.
We track activity and are active governance participants across all of the protocols we support. We support protocol teams and foundations to develop policy and governance functionality prior to launch and post launch.
HMU if you have any questions!
