Hi, we are notional.

We contribute to numerous pieces of software across the Cosmos ecosystem, run our validators on bare metal systems, and are the largest external contributor to the cosmos hub in terms of software .

We are active governance participants, and we create documentation like the following that assists in the future design of on chain governance.

> A tool that connects everyday work into one space. It gives you and your teams AI tools—search, writing, note-taking—inside an all-in-one, flexible workspace.

We wrote the state sync script for the hub and provide relaying services for the hub.

We are working to build a vibrant cosmos ecosystem.
