Validator participation inquiry from Exaion (EDF Group subsidiary)

Hi Celestia team,

I’m Baptiste, Product Manager at Exaion, a subsidiary of the EDF Group, Europe’s largest energy company.

We operate as a regulated institutional infrastructure provider, currently supporting major financial institutions such as BNP Paribas and Société Générale–Forge across multiple proof-of-stake networks.

We’re interested in running a validator on Celestia and contributing to the network’s decentralization with enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Exaion owns and operates its own data centers, hosting over 1,250 GPUs and nodes across regulated environments in the EU.

We’d love to connect with someone from the Celestia infrastructure team to discuss requirements and potential collaboration.

Best regards,
Baptiste C.
Product Manager @ crypto.exaion.com
