Sentry nodes, new options, multiple validators support and others new security features, discover Archipel 2.0 and it’s innovative consensus-based high availability solution.
Why Archipel?
Nowadays, many blockchain services are centralized on cloud infrastructure. For instance, around 70% of Ethereum nodes are in VPC and 63% of Ethereum Dapps use Infura Provider as this survey shows. We can imagine that in a few years some blockchain services can be banned from public cloud providers. Moreover, cloud providers can have an interruption of services and network issues.
For a better network resilience, one solution can be to have a decentralized infrastructure at home. The problem is that it is challenging to maintain a good quality of service at home. You can have internet connection or power cuts. As a result, it is very unsafe to install a Proof-of-Stake validator at home. Your validator must be always up (24/7) and ready to execute its duty. If not, you will be slashed by the network and lose your money. To solve this problem, we are creating a solution to provide high availability for blockchain services. …
Archipel is a high availability solution for running services on decentralized federated hardware at home
TL:DR : In this Milestone 2 release, we improved security, UI/UX and added many new features to Archipel. The first service targeted by Archipel is a Polkadot validator service. We want to thank the Web3 Foundation for its grant program that allowed us to bootstrap this project.
Previously… on Archipel
In the previous post we introduced the emergence of the Archipel project: why and how it was done.
We have also presented Archipel and base layer technology used at P2P Paris Festival #0.
In the first Milestone, the following components were developed :
Conférence lors du TEDxUSMB alliant technologies décentralisées, création artistique et des nouvelles formes d’organisations de nos échanges.

Le premier TEDxUSMB a été organisé en novembre 2019 à l’occasion des 40 ans de l’Université de Savoie Mont-Blanc. C’est ici, à Annecy en 2007 , que j’ai été étudiant ingénieur.
Lors de cet événement TEDx, j’ai eu l’opportunité de partager aux étudiants du campus certains de mes centres d’intérêt alliant technologies décentralisées, création artistique et des nouvelles formes d’organisations de nos échanges. Une vision mise en lumière par une présentation de la blockchain comme un nouveau langage pour tracer l’histoire et les échanges d’une œuvre d’art.
