Ping NCN Is Now Live on Fragmetric

Ping Network’s Node Coordination Network (NCN) is now officially live on Fragmetric, bringing real-world, bandwidth-native infrastructure into the modular restaking landscape.
The integration mirrors the validator setup used by Jito restaking, allowing the Ping Operator to register via NCNTicket, connect to a Fragmetric vault, and receive delegated stake. All of this is now supported on Devnet.
Ping NCN
The Ping Node Coordination Network (NCN) is a decentralized validation layer that tracks and coordinates performance of real, globally distributed devices sharing Internet bandwidth. It powers mission-critical infrastructure such as:
  • AI-powered web scraping and data crawling
  • Encrypted VPN traffic routing
  • Edge-enabled CDN content delivery
  • Decentralized geolocation and sensor data gathering
  • SLA verification and real-time uptime monitoring
Our validator is now listed inside Fragmetric and ready to receive delegated stake from restakers via vaults.
What Fragmetric Does
Fragmetric is a modular restaking protocol that allows networks like Ping to build custom validator logic and incentive models without running their own L1.
With Fragmetric, Ping can:
  • Register the Ping Operator using the NCNTicket flow
  • Join a vault and begin staking in a single transaction
  • Receive delegated stake from users
  • Coordinate validation logic off-chain while staying fully compatible with modular on-chain workflows
Initially built for Jito restaking, Fragmetric now supports infrastructure-native networks like Ping, where real-world bandwidth and uptime become part of the validator logic.
Why This Matters
This marks a major leap in modular infrastructure.
We have successfully connected real Internet bandwidth with programmable staking environments.
Key benefits:
  • No need to build validator infrastructure from scratch — we plug into Fragmetric
  • Accept stake from external contributors through vaults
  • Provide validator performance metrics via Ping’s API
  • Join the wider modular restaking ecosystem, including Jito and Switchboard
Ping’s infrastructure, where uptime, latency, and global distribution are essential, can now participate in on-chain validator systems with built-in programmability.
What is Ping Network
Ping Network is the universal bandwidth layer for the Internet.
It transforms everyday connected devices such as smartphones, routers, and edge servers into decentralized infrastructure nodes. These nodes provide:
  • VPN functionality
  • AI-ready data crawling at a global scale
  • Edge CDN performance for media and websites
  • Distributed uptime monitoring powered by real user devices
Contributors earn Ping Points, a reward system based on measurable bandwidth and performance contributions.
What is Fragmetric
Fragmetric is a next-generation modular restaking protocol, designed for validator flexibility and composability.
It offers:
  • Permissionless onboarding of new validators and operators
  • Vault-based staking mechanisms with customizable reward logic
  • Plug-and-play integrations with networks like Jito, Switchboard, and now Ping
It serves as the modular base layer for validator-driven infrastructure.
