And a backup server in a second location:

CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X/3.80 GHz

64Gb DDR4 RAM

ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS

The systems are running on a ProxMox VM environment, with UPS backup power.

Our first server is located in Germany, while our second server is located in the Netherlands. This makes our system immune to a local power or internet outage. The switch from one server to the other, in case of a power or internet outage, is automated.

What is Cardano

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on research published in peer reviewed journals and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.

Cardano was founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson is a mathematician and for sure no noobie to the cryptobusiness, as he was co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain. The Cardano project is backed by the Cardano Foundation, Emurgo and IOHK. The Cardano Foundation is a non-profit organization, based in Switzerland. They oversee and supervise the advancement of Cardano. Emergo and IOHK are blockchain development companies that are developing solutions for the Cardano blockchain.

With a leading team of engineers, Cardano exists to redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins – to individuals – and be an enabling force for positive change and progress.
