Participate in NodeOps funding round
Skyland Ventures (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, General) is a venture capital fund that mainly invests in seed startups.
Partner ・CEO: Yoshihiko Kinoshita (SV) operates Node-as-a-Servie, which allows you to purchase and deploy nodes with one click. We would like to announce that we have participated in the NodeOps funding round.
*What is NodeOps*
NodeOps is a project that makes it easy to execute the infrastructure construction and node operation processes necessary for AI and node operations. This allows developers to focus on developing
decentralized protocol applications, leaving the troublesome resources of node operations to NodeOps. Additionally, users (node operators) will be able to contribute to the decentralization of the project while earning on-chain rewards.
*What is NodePad*
NodePad is a node marketplace within NodeOps. Previously, Launchpad only allowed you to purchase nodes, but with NodePad, you can do everything from purchasing nodes to deploying them with just one click. This greatly simplifies the process of introducing node operations and makes it easier for node operators without specialized knowledge to approach.
Below are the characteristics.
– * One-Click Deployment: * Ability to purchase nodes and deploy them instantly.
– * Integrated Marketplace: * Browse, purchase, and configure multiple nodes in one place.
– * User-friendly interface: * Simple and intuitive operation. NodePad currently supports the purchase and deployment of CARV certified nodes as a first project.
*CARV is a modular data layer for games and AI. Transform how data is used and shared while maintaining data privacy, ownership, and control. CARV authenticated nodes are critical to maintaining protocol integrity and improving reliability and security. Mainly to check on-chain TEE attestation and protect user data privacy.

With Ventures participating in this round, we are confident of accessing the broader Web3 ecosystem in Asia. Their extensive access and rich professional experience in Japan will be of great benefit to us.
We look forward to working closely with the team as we move into the next phase of building a permissionless node orchestration security layer for the Web3 protocol.
* Yuan Xiao Hang, General Partner and CSO of Skyland Ventures* The NodeOps initiative is highly innovative in lowering the hurdles to operating a node and making it accessible to everyone. We believe that the easy node deployment and management features provided by this platform will greatly contribute to the decentralization of
infrastructure and projects. We look forward to the positive impact this project will have on the entire crypto ecosystem and are excited to build the future with NodeOps.
*Yonkuro, Principle of Skyland Ventures*
The innovation of NodeOps is that it significantly reduces the complexity of running a node and makes it easily accessible to retail users. The first requirement for projects utilizing crypto is decentralization. NodeOps allows more people to get involved in node operation, which has traditionally been a barrier, and to contribute to the ecosystem and get paid for it. We believe NodeOps will play an important role in this space and look forward to supporting its growth.
