Waterfall Network Announces Integration with InfStones and Highlights Post-Mainnet Growth in AMA Recap

Waterfall
Network, the
most
innovative
layer
one (L1) decentralized
and
scalable
ledger,
today
announced
its
integration
with
InfStones,
a
leading
infrastructure
provider
of
enterprise-grade
node
management
services.
Waterfall
Network
and
InfStones
hosted
an
AMA
session
detailing
benefits
of
the
integration
as
well
as
successful
milestones
since
Waterfall’s
mainnet
launch
last
month. 

Recap
of
the
AMA:
Unprecedented
Decentralization
Achievements

During
the
AMA,
Waterfall
Network
discussed
their
participation
in
the
Google
Startup
Cloud
program,
where
the
network
was
tested
with
over
1.5
million
validators
operating
simultaneously
spread
across
5
continents.
This
test
demonstrated
Waterfall’s
unparalleled
ability
to
maintain
a
decentralized
and
scalable
network,
a
feat
unmatched
by
any
other
DLT
on
this
scale. https://x.com/waterfall_dag/status/1803351923468181617 

“To
our
knowledge,
no
other
technology
has
been
tested
with
this
many
validators,
making
Waterfall
a
pioneer
in
achieving
decentralization
at
this
level,”
said
Grybniak.
Despite
these
accomplishments,
Waterfall
remains
committed
to
keeping
its
hardware
requirements
low,
allowing
for
broader
participation
in
the
decentralized
economy.” 

Since
mainnet
public
launch
last
month,
Waterfall
Network
has
added
4901
new
validators
and
reached
339
percent
of
TVL
(total
volume
locked)
growth. 

Bridging
Scalability
and
Decentralization

As
a
key
focus
of
the
AMA,
Waterfall
Network
and
InfStones
representatives
discussed
how
Waterfall
is
uniquely
positioned
to
address
the
long-standing
challenge
of
combining
scalability
and
decentralization—two
features
that
are
often
difficult
to
achieve
simultaneously.
Using
the
innovative
DAG
technology,
Waterfall
allows
for
parallel
processing
on
multiple
levels,
enabling
unparalleled
scalability
without
compromising
the
core
principles
of
decentralization.

“True
scalability
without
decentralization
doesn’t
align
with
the
core
values
of
Web3,”
said
Sergii
Grybniak,
Head
of
Research
at
Waterfall
Network. “Decentralization
is
what
sets
Web3
apart
from
Web2,
which,
although
effective
in
scalability
and
privacy,
lacks
the
decentralized
structure
that
is
essential
for
the
future
of
blockchain
technology.”

Partnering
with
InfStones
affords
Waterfall
Network
robust
infrastructure
support,
enhancing
its
scalability
and
reliability
by
leveraging
InfStones’
secure
and
scalable
node
management
services.
This
enables
easier
deployment
and
management
of
validator
nodes,
further
decentralizing
the
network
while
maintaining
efficiency.
The
result
is
developers
and
participants
are
more
empowered
to
seamlessly
engage
with
Waterfall’s
decentralized
ecosystem.

“Integrating
with
Waterfall
has
been
a
fantastic
experience,”
said
Ann
Jiang,
Business
Development
Specialist
at
InfStones. “Our
goal
is
to
lower
the
barriers
for
people
who
may
not
have
extensive
technical
knowledge,
empowering
them
to
run
nodes
effortlessly.
Together,
we
share
a
vision
of
driving
the
blockchain
ecosystem
forward,
and
this
collaboration
has
allowed
us
to
deliver
a
seamless
and
secure
experience
for
both
individual
and
institutional
clients.
We’re
excited
to
be
part
of
this
journey
and
look
forward
to
welcoming
more
people
into
the
Waterfall
community
to
enjoy
its
many
benefits.” 

Simplifying
Blockchain
Participation
with
Proof
of
Stake

The
AMA
also
addressed
Waterfall’s
adoption
of
a
Proof
of
Stake
(PoS)
consensus
mechanism,
which
stands
in
stark
contrast
to
the
resource-intensive
Proof
of
Work
(PoW)
systems
like
Bitcoin.
Jeff
McDonald,
community
strategist
at
Waterfall
Network,
highlighted
how
easy
it
is
to
become
a
node
operator
on
Waterfall.

“Running
a
node
on
Waterfall
is
accessible
to
almost
anyone,
unlike
Bitcoin
mining,
which
requires
significant
resources
and
industry
connections,”
said
McDonald. “Waterfall
makes
it
simple,
opening
the
door
for
more
participants
in
the
decentralized
economy.” 

Attractive
Incentives
for
Validators

The
AMA
also
covered
the
attractive
incentives
currently
offered
to
Waterfall
validators.
Although
the
rate
is
adjusted
according
to
the
state
of
the
ecosystem,
the
current
rate
presents
an
exponential
opportunity
many
are
looking
to
take
advantage
of.
To
become
a
validator
currently
takes
staking
32,000
$WATER
coins
with
an
annual
percentage
rate
(APR)
of
more
than
100
percent. 

“The
rewards
for
validators
are
exceptional
right
now,”
McDonald
noted. “It’s
a
great
opportunity
for
anyone
interested
in
contributing
to
the
network.” 

Looking
Ahead

The
AMA
was
a
resounding
success,
showcasing
Waterfall
Network’s
commitment
to
addressing
user
needs
and
providing
a
seamless
experience.
As
Waterfall
continues
to
develop,
it
remains
committed
to
its
core
values
of
enhancing
decentralization
and
scalability
and
intends
to
continue
to
demonstrate
its
dedication
through
strategic
partnerships
and
exponential
growth
of
the
network,
setting
the
stage
for
the
next
generation
of
Web3
applications.
