DEF acquiring nodes from Carbon12

Thanks for the update, DEF!

Hello everyone,

I’d like to confirm the information shared above by the @DEF regarding the transition of eight node machines currently operated by Carbon Twelve.

As outlined:

  • DEF will be taking over the operation of these nodes.

  • Four nodes are located in Paris (PR1) and are planned to be relocated to Barcelona (ES1), where another four nodes are already hosted.

  • Three of the four nodes in PR1 are currently active in subnets. These will remain in place until they have been removed from subnets.

Why This Matters:

Carbon Twelve (C12) is stepping back from node operations for the time being, but we remain committed to supporting the growth and evolution of the ICP ecosystem. This transition ensures continuity of operations and allows us to remain engaged with the IC ecosystem.

Next Steps:

  1. Remove Active Nodes from Subnets: Hi @alexu, may I request that DFINITY take the necessary steps to remove all nodes belonging to C12 from their respective subnets to enable their offboarding. Let me know if anything is needed from my side to support this.

  2. Registry Removal: Once all nodes are removed from subnets, I will remove them from the registry.

  3. Node Operator Record Proposals: Two proposals will be submitted to remove the node operator records for PR1 and ES1.

  4. Physical Migration: Nodes currently in PR1 will be de-racked, transported, and re-racked in ES1. DEF will take over onboarding responsibilities.

Although C12 is stepping away from operations for now, we remain committed to the Internet Computer and intend to return in the future. As such, I will not be submitting a proposal to remove the Node Provider principal. We acknowledge that the onboarding process may evolve and are fully prepared to comply with any updated requirements should we decide to rejoin.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
C12 team
