Deutsche Telekom, a global telecommunications leader, enhances its Web3 footprint by becoming a validator on Injective, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on decentralized finance and real-world asset tokenization.
Why Deutsche Telekom’s Entry Matters
As one of the world's largest telecom providers, Deutsche Telekom brings unparalleled infrastructure and expertise to Injective. With operations in over 50 countries and 252 million mobile customers, the company offers security, reliability, and scale necessary for blockchain validation. The integration of traditional telecom infrastructure with blockchain strengthens Injective’s position as an institutional-grade network.
How Deutsche Telekom Supports Injective
Deutsche Telekom MMS plays a key role in securing the Injective network by validating transactions and ensuring consensus. Their responsibilities include ensuring network uptime and enabling cross-chain interoperability. Oliver Nyderle, the Head of Web3 Infrastructure at Deutsche Telekom MMS, aims to enhance Injective’s security and decentralization with their enterprise-grade validation services.
Deutsche Telekom’s Expanding Crypto Presence
Beyond Injective, Deutsche Telekom has been actively involved in blockchain validation across multiple networks, including Polygon, Celo, Chainlink, and Polkadot. The company has also started operating a Bitcoin node and mining Bitcoin using renewable energy. As a validator, Deutsche Telekom MMS will earn staking rewards and transaction fees, with APY exceeding 10% depending on network conditions.
This initiative by Deutsche Telekom underscores its serious commitment to the Web3 market, particularly in DeFi and blockchain technologies, becoming a significant player among existing validators such as Kraken and Binance.
