EOS Lithuania - EOS Block Producer

The fastest internet in world, servers located in Nuclear Bunker Data Center, reliable team, best hardware. We are Lithuanian EOS team who are here to help EOS with block production and mass adoption.

Our team consist of professionals and crypto enthusiasts who believe in distributed future, open governance and prosperous world. This is why we are sure that technologies behind EOSIO will develop borderless society and open new possibilities for everybody.

We dedicate our best resources to highest quality and reliability block production. We intend to redistribute all the proceeds rationally to support and secure infrastructure itself, grow EOS community, educate professionals and public society, seed-fund and accelerate great projects.

Technical duties: Most important part in building and maintaining fast, secure and reliable blockchain is technical infrastructure. We commit to take care of an EOS Lithuania BP and full note servers, hosting facilities and network security.

Community duties: Blockchain is a community platform first. We see lots of opportunities to involve the community in EOS activities. We commit to educate, support and strengthen EOS developer community, users, and the general public. It's a key to mass adoption.
