FreeTON is inheritor of TON blockchain which effectively got banned due to US court restricted GRM tokens worldwide. However, FreeTON project focuses on new, non-financial, use-cases of TON technologies and strives to bring this unique blockchain back to the world.
FreeTON also going to have own tokens (as every blockchain) named Rubies and going to distribute those conducting several contests. One of such is Validator contest, where devops skills will come handy and the goal is to rollout own Validator node, as well as bring up logic that going to make stakes via this node and by that participate in Proof-of-Stake validation cycles confirming transactions in the blockchain.
I would like to share own solution that brings up Validator Node (full-node) from scratch as well as deploys application that can communicate with the node and perform staking, along with monitoring the node.
I called it SuTon (kind of short of Sudo Ton), as it ultimately it will allow you to control the node in every possible way.
Github with code and instructions is here: https://github.com/jarig/suton
The main idea behind the architecture was to make node safe and expose as less as possible number of ports, hiding full-node from the outer world, however at the same time having possibility to control it and monitor.
