LinkPool joins the XDC Network institutional operator roster LinkPool, a core contributor to stake.link and a long-standing infrastructure operator in the Chainlink ecosystem, has joined XDC Network's institutional validator operator roster. LinkPool has deployed XDC validator infrastructure on dedicated hardware we own in the UK, across three availability zones in Manchester, and is deployment-ready for institutional masternode positions. Institutions and individual holders taking a 10,000,000 XDC validator position can have it operated by LinkPool end to end, with the stake remaining fully under the owner's control. Joe Armstrong, Growth at LinkPool, said: "XDC's masternode model lets a holder earn validator rewards without giving up custody of their tokens. We operate the infrastructure on hardware we own, so the holder keeps the stake and we carry the operational risk." Can Inac, Ecosystem Development EU at XDC Network: " LinkPool brings nine years of production operator experience, its own Tier 4 UK data centres, and the infrastructure behind stake.link to XDC’s institutional operator roster.”

After flagging 18 months ago about the design of DVNs and their configuration to LZ's founder, there's now a $292 million hack because the DVN had the security guarantees of what was basically someone just running a script on a server somewhere. What's insane to me about this is that: LZ would encourage and not flag to their end users that 1/1 is basically no security, and that the DeFi protocols are not reviewing the integrations they're doing that can wreck them. It's inexcusable that the default DVN config when deploying LZ has the security of a single wallet. For this industry to be taken more seriously, people need to wake up and care more about what they build and understand the security guarantees of protocols they integrate with. Just use Chainlink.
