Name of node provider: Staker Space
Description node provider:
Staker Space is a team from the Netherlands that is fully focused on providing decentralized networks infrastructure. We have been a part of the DotSama eco since its start.
Our striving is to provide the best infrastructure for these networks to bloom. We have transitioned from renting bare metal servers to fully managing our own servers in data centers with excellent connectivity and redundancy. This gives us more security and provides less risk for slashing conditions.
We are committed to contributing to open decentralized networks by providing infrastructure for testing environments, production environments, and actively participating in governance.
Validator Boost List proposal:
We want 1 validator to be added to the VBL which is our 2nd validator on Polkadot operating at at a commission of 1%. The address is 14N5nJ4oR4Wj36DsBcPLh1JqjvrM2Uf23No2yc2ojjCvSC24, the Identity: is Staker Space/2
Liquidity Contribution by VBL Applicant :
We have switched to vDOT in the last 3-6 months and believe in the growth of the V-tokens as it has shown the last couple of months. I believe the decentralization of the validator list will be beneficial to all v-token holders.
Marketing - Informational support/contribution by VBL Applicant :
Within Discord and Telegram we are trying to keep our community / followers up to date. On discord we have a public channel where individuals can ask for support. We try our best to provide them with the right information. On X we share information about what Staker Space does and what it plans to do with the highest level of transparency. This will for sure include Bifrost vDOT staking.

Furthermore we will share share Bifrost messages in our channels and actively retweet X messages in order to create more awareness about Bifrost and inform on how to use and benefit from BNC products.

The node we would like to join the Validator Boost List is installed in Amsterdam on our own server rack.We have a good monitoring and alerting system listening to liveliness and has threshold alerts set when the network becomes unhealthy. We are pro-active validator and are not a set-and-forget party.
Good to note that we have 3 validators in Polkadot, we don’t plan on creating more. First validator is active in the set since the start of nPoS. The 3rd validator is the W3F 1KV programme.

Hoping for positive feedback from the community.
Staker Space is a team from the Netherlands that provides infrastructure for decentralized networks. They want to add a second validator to the VBL on Polkadot. They will contribute 75% of their commission earnings for the first 6 months as liquidity. They also provide support and information to their community on Discord and Twitter. They have a good monitoring system for their server in Amsterdam and are proactive validators. They have three validators in Polkadot and don't plan on creating more.
Thanks @SuperDupont and @e2zn, looking forward to your votes. The referendum is live.
Edited
1% commission fees is reasonable and in the standard of VBL applications !
Thx for supporting us moreover !
