Trusted providers in blockchain infrastructure
Our validators
Our validators typically run on bare-metal servers featuring at least:
- 3.4 Ghz hexa-core CPU
- 64 GB DDR4 RAM
- Hardware RNG
- Mirrored NVMe SSDs
- 1 Gbit/s network link
Why we need validation
To improve decentralization of the blockchain a network can use a consensus protocol between participating nodes which validate and verify the authenticity of transactions. We are supporting this expanding ecosystem by running validators for networks like the XRP Ledger, Flare Network and Songbird Network.
Secure by nature
In a former nuclear bunker 30 meters beneath the streets of Stockholm - Pionen, White Mountains is owned and run by Bahnhof, Sweden's oldest independent ISP. As it did in 1943, the data centre provides us with strong physical security and now excellent connectivity, as it facilitates one of Sweden's internet exchange points with its triple-redundancy connection cables.
Naturally sustainable
Much like the efficient networks we support, Pionen is powered only by renewable energy, and excess heat from the servers is recycled and fed into the local district heating network.
In good company
Our most well known validator is "Gimli" validating the XRP Ledger since 2021. It's trusted and included in the unique node lists (UNLs) published by the XRP Ledger Foundation and Ripple.
