Hi Gonka core team & community,

Requesting inclusion of our escrow creator address in
`devshard_escrow_params.allowed_creator_addresses` to operate a
self-hosted devshard gateway.

## Escrow creator address

`gonka179ktce899cu28f666as7gqe3we638tv0fuhn4f`

(funded, pubkey published on-chain)

## About us

Operator: Nikita Shanin (sole proprietor; Chatbotiq — software development
studio). Contact: mr.shanin.nikitos@gmail.com / GitHub: nikshh.

## What we're building on Gonka

Internal AI coding agents (Telegram-based assistant products) consuming
inference for agentic coding loops — initially our own workloads
(~10–50M tokens/day), potentially broker access for our clients later.

We have already:
- tested the network as developers (community broker + signed direct requests
  with our own patched Windows build of gonka-openai);
- deployed the devshard gateway (`libermans/gonka-devshard-proxy`) on a
  dedicated GCP server — container healthy, chain-synced, waiting on allowlist;
- hold GNK for escrow funding (min_amount covered, rotation reserve planned).

## Models

moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6 (primary), MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7

## Infrastructure

Dedicated Linux server (GCP), Docker deployment, 24/7 monitoring
(Uptime Kuma). Gateway exposed via reverse proxy with TLS and bearer auth.

We understand inclusion is an on-chain governance decision with no guaranteed
timeline; meanwhile we'll run our workloads via OpenBroker. Filing this to
register intent per the process described in #1257/#1245.

Thanks!
