Who says there's not much going on?!! 👩‍🔧🧑‍🔧 🚀 Cumulo weekly validator & infrastructure report: May 15–23 Over the last week, our team executed validator operations, upgrades, governance actions, and incident-aware infrastructure work across multiple networks, check what we did? 👀👇 ☕ @EspressoSys / Mainnet: upgraded our mainnet node to 20260424, applying query and pruning optimizations and verifying healthy peer connectivity and consensus progression 📖 @StoryProtocol / Aeneid testnet: upgraded our validator to Story v1.7.0 (Seneca) ahead of the scheduled hardfork, with full sync and post-upgrade consensus validation 🛡️ @cosmoshub: voted NO WITH VETO on Prop #1037, a spam/scam proposal with no legitimate onchain purpose 🟣 @massachain / Mainnet: executed the mandatory MAIN.5.0 hard fork upgrade and rejoined the corrected network after the illegal minting fix 🔷 @GenLayer / Asimov: upgraded our validator to v0.5.11 💠 XRPL EVM by @Peersyst / Mainnet: voted YES on Prop #31 to recover expired IBC light clients for Injective and Elys 🟠 @cosmoshub Hub / Mainnet: executed the Gaia v27.3.0 upgrade at the scheduled height, covering validator, RPC, and backup infrastructure with post-upgrade verification 🔷 @GenLayer / Bradbury: upgraded our validator to v0.5.11 🐒 @monad / Testnet: upgraded our full node to v0.14.4 following the release window and verified full operational status At Cumulo, validator operations are handled as production infrastructure work: upgrade readiness, governance monitoring, incident response, controlled execution, and post-upgrade verification across live environments. That is also why we maintain our Activity Tracker: a public, JSON-backed operational log where we document upgrades, governance votes, incidents, and infrastructure actions in a transparent and auditable format. 📍Follow our activity here: cumulo.pro/services/activ…

Massive week @sedaprotocol

🌐 Tokenization is moving from narrative to real institutional infrastructure. In our latest article, we analyze the Beyond Cosmoverse conversation with Anina Milanović from the World Bank, and what it means for @cosmos, capital markets and the future of regulated digital assets. The key idea is clear: Tokenization is not here to replace traditional capital markets. It is here to upgrade them. In the article, we cover: 🔹 How Serbia built one of the earliest digital asset regulatory frameworks before MiCA 🔹 Why stablecoins pushed traditional finance to take blockchain infrastructure seriously 🔹 The three institutional requirements for tokenized assets: legal certainty, trusted infrastructure and secondary liquidity 🔹 Why emerging markets may have a unique opportunity to move faster 🔹 How Cosmos-IBC architecture, sovereignty and interoperability fits naturally into this new financial landscape For the @cosmos community, this conversation matters. If regulated financial assets start moving across digital infrastructure, networks like Cosmos can play a key role in making those assets interoperable, auditable and usable across jurisdictions. At Cumulo, we are validators in @cosmoshub and we believe this is exactly the type of long-term infrastructure narrative that matters for the ecosystem. 📖 Read the full article: 🇬🇧 English version: medium.com/cumulo-pro/reg… 🇪🇸 Spanish version: medium.com/cumulo-pro/reg…

@Thali_To @celestia Great catch, thanks! 🙏 Hibiscus (v7) is live, it was showing in the timeline but the "Largest upgrade" card was highlighting Matcha (most CIPs) instead of the most recent one. Fixed now → Latest upgrade: Hibiscus ✅

@Cumulo_pro @celestia Ist Hibiscus not live ??? I See only matcha in the Tool...

🌌 New tool by Cumulo for the @celestia ecosystem: CIP Tracker We’ve built a complete Celestia Improvement Proposals dashboard, integrated into Cumulo’s Celestia services page. The CIP Tracker is designed to make it easier for teams, devs, validators and the broader community to follow how Celestia evolves at the protocol level: from proposals already live on mainnet to those currently under review or being discussed for upcoming upgrades. What the tool does: 🔹 Tracks 49 CIPs from the official Celestia Improvement Proposals repository 🔹 Provides a clear overview of proposal status: Final, In Review and Draft 🔹 Shows a visual timeline of network upgrades, from Lemongrass v2 to the upcoming v8 🔹 Groups CIPs by upgrade, helping users understand which changes are already live and which are still in progress 🔹 Adds semantic search, so users can look for concepts like “validator commission”, “token burn” or “block time” and discover related CIPs 🔹 Includes a changelog with recent repository updates, distinguishing between new CIPs and updated ones 🔹 Gives each CIP its own shareable URL with Discord and Telegram previews 🔹 Syncs data from the official celestiaorg/CIPs GitHub repository, with 6h cache and local fallback to improve availability This is intended to be a living tool: as new CIPs are added, updated, reviewed or included in future network upgrades, the tracker will continue evolving with the Celestia protocol itself. Cumulo, as Celestia validators, we’ve been supporting the network since the early stages of its testnet, and we’ll keep building public infrastructure to make protocol evolution easier to follow, understand and use.

☕️ Espresso Network: new staking guide by Cumulo is live! We’ve published a step-by-step guide on our Medium to help users understand how to stake ESP on @EspressoSys and start participating in the network more easily. In this guide, we cover: 🔹 How to get ESP and set up MetaMask 🔹 How to connect your wallet to the staking dashboard 🔹 How to understand staking metrics 🔹 How to choose a validator and delegate ESP 🔹 How to manage your delegation 🔹 How to solve common errors At Cumulo, we are Espresso validators as we has been selected for the @espressoFNDN Validator Bootstrap Program, and you can already stake your ESP with us through the official staking dashboard. This guide is designed to make the staking process clearer and more accessible. 📖 Read the full guide: 🇬🇧 English version: medium.com/cumulo-pro/esp… 🇪🇸 Spanish version: medium.com/cumulo-pro/esp… We’ll keep building infrastructure, educational resources and tooling to support the Espresso ecosystem and help more users participate securely.

Our goal is to contribute practical tooling that helps the @monad ecosystem become easier to observe, operate and improve. Feedback from validators, node operators, developers and the Monad community is welcome. Forum post: forum.monad.xyz/t/open-infrast… Services: cumulo.pro/services/monad Explorer: cumulo.pro/services/monad… GitHub: github.com/Cumulo-pro/cum…

Activity Tracker Infrastructure work is often invisible unless it is documented. That’s why we keep a public log of @monad -related operations: → Node deployments → Upgrades → Version changes → Incidents → Operational updates cumulo.pro/services/monad…

🟣 Cumulo × Monad What if you could track @monad infra from multiple angles? RPC reliability, validator performance, staking data, uptime, block production, node geography and live network health. That’s what we’ve been working on, a set of open tools for builders, validators and operators. Check them all here: cumulo.pro/services/monad/ 👀🧵 👇

We’re excited to share that Cumulo has been selected for the @espressoFNDN Validator Bootstrap Program ☕️ For us, this is an important step in supporting Espresso as infrastructure contributors. 🛠️ Beyond validator operations, we’ve been building public tooling for Espresso: dashboards, node monitoring, service tracking, and technical resources designed to make the network easier to observe and use. We’re grateful 🙏 for the opportunity and ready to keep contributing with reliable infrastructure, open tooling, and a builder-first mindset. 🚀 Espresso is moving forward, and we’re proud to be part of it.

🚀 Weekly validator & infrastructure report | May 8–15 Over the last week, Cumulo executed validator operations, infrastructure upgrades, and governance actions across multiple networks: ☕ @EspressoSys / Decaf testnet: upgraded our node to releases 20260505 and 20260512, incorporating database pruning, operational tuning, and libp2p fixes ☕ @EspressoSys / Mainnet: upgraded our infrastructure to 20260424, including query and pruning optimizations, with post-upgrade verification of peers and consensus health 📖 @StoryProtocol / Aeneid testnet: prepared and executed the upgrade to Story v1.7.0 (Seneca) ahead of the scheduled hardfork, with full sync and post-upgrade validation 🟠 @cosmoshub : voted YES on Prop #1035 for the Gaia v27.3.0 software upgrade 🛡️ @cosmoshub : voted NO WITH VETO on Props #1032, #1033, #1034, and #1036, all linked to spam/phishing-style proposals and fraudulent external airdrop claims At Cumulo, we treat validation as production infrastructure work: upgrade readiness, governance monitoring, disciplined execution, post-upgrade verification, and operational judgment in response to malicious onchain activity. That is also why we maintain our Activity Tracker: a public, JSON-backed record where we continuously document upgrades, governance actions, and infrastructure decisions in an auditable format. 📍Follow our activity here: cumulo.pro/services/activ…

🌐 The @cosmoshub roadmap is starting to be built in public. @cosmoslabs_io has outlined a new communication and execution framework for the Hub: Chaos → Stability → Growth. The goal is clear: move beyond the current uncertainty, stabilize key ecosystem infrastructure, and turn the Hub into a stronger economic coordination layer for Cosmos and beyond. Key points 👇 ⚡ Aggressive expansion of IBC Eureka Including upcoming connections to Solana, L2s and new public/private markets. 💧 Liquidity and USDC continuity Exploring how to preserve and expand stablecoin access in the ecosystem, especially after Noble’s departure from Cosmos. 🧠 $ATOM tokenomics work Gauntlet is already working on deeper analysis around ATOM’s economic model, buy/sell pressure and long-term sustainability. 🛠️ Critical infra support Long-term support for key components like IBC Eureka, Skip:Go, wallets, explorers and liquidity infrastructure. 🤝 Builders, validators and community More public calls, builder spotlights, community office hours, weekly updates and a clearer path for contributors. A meaningful step forward for Cosmos. Check the full forum post 👇 forum.cosmos.network/t/from-chaos-t…

🔬 New research drop - Cosmos Hub We tested x/tokenfactory on Gaia v26 with 6 real on-chain transactions on the provider testnet, covering the full lifecycle of a token created through a CosmWasm contract. That changes how privileged actions like minting, burning, metadata updates, force-transfer, and supply control should be understood. In the study, we covered: 🧪 Contract instantiation 🏗️ Denom creation 🪙 Minting 🔐 Admin transfer 📝 Metadata registration 🔥 Token burn and supply reduction If you are building, validating, or experimenting with @cosmoshub infrastructure, this is a practical look at how token admin and supply control actually behave on-chain. Full study on the Cosmos Forum 👇 forum.cosmos.network/t/empirical-st… Built and documented by Cumulo as part of our Cosmos Hub validator research and testnet work ⚛️

⚡ XRPL EVM by @Peersyst fees just dropped by 99%. Governance Proposal #29 has been approved and executed, reducing the base_fee from 100 Gwei to 0.571 Gwei. In practice, a transaction that previously cost around ~0.35 XRP now costs around ~0.001 XRP. This is a major update for the XRPL EVM ecosystem. Fees had become outdated compared to other EVM networks, limiting competitiveness for users, dApps and DeFi activity. Proposal #29 corrects that by bringing costs closer to XRPL Mainnet’s low-fee model, while keeping the additional overhead needed for programmability. Lower fees mean: 🔹 Better UX for users 🔹 More competitive conditions for dApps 🔹 Stronger foundations for DeFi on XRP 🔹 A more attractive execution layer for the XRPL ecosystem The XRPL EVM by @Peersyst roadmap keeps moving forward. And from Cumulo, as XRPL EVM Mainnet validators, we’re still here building with it. Track Proposal #29 here 👇 #proposal-29" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cumulo.pro/services/xrple…
