Boss Baby ONE

[ Our goal is to help build a more secure future with low-cost hardware, and green energy ]

Chicago based Validators passionate about the future of decentralized finance, Solar Energy, and Raspberry Pi's.

BossBaby is currently focused on the Harmony ONE blockchain. We spit our time between the validator community, managing our nodes, and playing DeFi Kingdoms.

We've currently chosen to build our nodes with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. While this platform isn't a performance powerhouse, it does offer numerous benefits, ones that are attainable for most; low-cost hardware, low power consumption, software support (open-source), online documentation / tutorials, and the Raspberry Pi community itself.

Our network runs off of a battery bank powered by a custom solar generator. In the event that grid power is out, and the battery bank is depleted, we have an additional UPS — Yay redundancy! More details about our setup, and node specs are available below.
