They are committed to contributing to the community by offering software, knowledge, and their time to support others. As a validator/block producer, Block Pane actively cooperates with other validators, recognizing that collaboration benefits the network. Block Pane's infrastructure is self-sustaining, with rewards obtained from liquidation covering various operational expenses such as taxes, payroll, and legal fees.

The brand also delegates to other validators on networks where they hold a higher percentage of stake to contribute to their self-stake on other networks. With a minimum commission of 4%, Block Pane ensures sustainable operations while refraining from promising slash protection or providing incentives for delegations. Remarkably, the brand has never had a validator slashed for downtime or double-signing.

On Cosmos-SDK chains, Block Pane actively participates in governance, taking into account the opinions of their delegators while voting in the best interest of the network. They embrace transparency in their voting process, and their votes can be categorized as Yes, No, No with veto, or Abstain, with each carrying its own significance. Block Pane demonstrates dedication to technical excellence, employing measures to anticipate systems failure and designing for resiliency.

They prioritize monitoring, react promptly to outages, and build useful tools to benefit other validators. With its headquarters based in Colorado, USA, Block Pane is owned entirely by Todd Garrison, ensuring a strong sense of commitment and accountability. In summary, Block Pane, LLC.

Their strong values, technical prowess, and commitment to the community make them a trusted partner in the industry
