Cointelegraph goes onchain: CTDG initiative to secure Web3 with live validators
Cointelegraph has launched the Cointelegraph Decentralization Guardians (CTDG) initiative, transitioning from industry commentary to active participation in Web3 security. The initiative features live, institutional-grade validators on major blockchains such as Solana, Chiliz, Polkadot, Coreum, Canton, and Mantra. CTDG combines high-performance validator nodes with public education, data-driven network monitoring, and enhanced visibility for partner protocols. Mainnet validators are operational, with public dashboards tracking network statistics and validator performance, alongside new staking interfaces for community participation. The initiative emphasizes transparency, security, and decentralization, with Cointelegraph CEO Yana Prikhodchenko highlighting the commitment to these foundational principles. CTDG partners with various blockchain networks to create a sustainable model for validator deployment and improved staking experiences. This collaboration aims to enhance network integrity and resilience while promoting open growth and high security standards. Cointelegraph will also provide ongoing educational content to support partner ecosystems and engage a global audience in shaping a decentralized future.
