## Story Ecosystem Contributions

TrustedPoint has actively contributed tooling, infrastructure, and community support to strengthen the Story validator and developer ecosystem:

- Integrated Story Network into our **Discord Monitoring & Alerting Bot** , running directly in the official Story Discord under `#node-status` and `#aeneid-status` channels. The bot is actively used by validators and community members, with 30,000+ messages delivered to date.

- Parsed and aggregated validator metrics for both Iliad and Odyssey networks into a public performance tracking spreadsheet, enabling easy comparison of uptime, reliability, and behavior: [Story [odyssey-0] Metrics (by TrustedPoint) - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14uk-nM1l34J4wo8aQT_wqMLQo0X_lMo1l8YISLtcSjE/edit)

- Integrated Story network into our real-time, CLI-based consensus monitoring dashboard: [GitHub - trusted-point/Rich-Consensus](https://github.com/trusted-point/Rich-Consensus)

- Developed an Upgrade Metrics Collector to track validator behavior and performance during network upgrades: [GitHub - trusted-point/Story-Consensus-Metrics](https://github.com/trusted-point/Story-Consensus-Metrics)

- Maintained a node setup and operations guide for Story validators: [GitHub - trusted-point/Story-Tools](https://github.com/trusted-point/Story-Tools)

- Built and operate an open-source Story REST API with full Swagger documentation, allowing developers and validators to easily query network and validator metrics: [GitHub - trusted-point/Story-Rest-API: REST API for interacting with the Story [Cosmos SDK based network].](https://github.com/trusted-point/Story-Rest-API)
