EOS Dublin, the Irish block producer has validated the Telos network on 13th December 2018 at 04:31 UTC. We are serving the Telos network under the account eosdublinwow. Our BP account name is the same one we use on the EOS mainnet.
Telos has been a collaborative project from the initial concept and we worked closely with other BP teams on the Telos network to validate the initial injection.
For a walkthrough and complete discussion of the process of validation and injection, please refer to Douglas Horn’s article here:

External validation is a crucial foundation for the blockchain. It is a way of verifying that keys accounts and balances are all correct at the beginning of the chain. The information contained in the genesis block is the initial architecture for the entire chain. External validation is a process of ensuring the initial data is true. The genesis block is the foundation for the Telos blockchain, and validation ensures consensus across all nodes from the very beginning.
