EOSrock is founded by a stellar team of ex-Google, Apple and Cisco engineers, that have built and deployed large-scale cloud infrastructures, distributed-systems, and cryptomining and blockchain development projects.
With our geographically distributed teams in blockchain hotbeds Slovenia and Serbia, we believe we are uniquely positioned to run decentralized block producer nodes with top-notch reliability and scalability.
In addition to hosting and managing the EOS block producers, we aim to accelerate the growth of the EOS platform by developing software tools and keeping our innovations open-source. We promise to conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity in all actions representing EOS project and EOS community.
We believe that the EOS ecosystem will solve blockchain performance problems, and accelerate widespread adoption of the cutting-edge blockchain technology.

Company and Infrastructure Details
Company Locations
- Belgrade, Serbia
- Reno, NV USA
Expected location of servers
- We are running a BP node on the EOS Junglenet, hosted on the Google Cloud Platform in Germany – May 2018
- Bare metal servers in Tier 3 data centers in Slovenia and Serbia – June 2018
- Additional bare metal servers in Tier 3 data centers in France and Reno, Nevada – Q3 2018
- Additional bare metal servers in Tier 3 data centers in Singapore - Q3/Q4 2018
Type of servers
Cloud based infrastructure before the EOS.IO launch, bare metal servers following the launch
Technical Specifications - Pre-launch
The preliminary configuration prior to EOS.IO launch is hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. Google Cloud provides high availability, geographic distribution, and almost immediate on-demand scaling. We have launched primary and backup BP nodes on EOS testnet, with the following server configuration:
- CPU: 64-core
- RAM: 256 GB
- Storage: 1 TB
- Network: 2x 1Gbps
- Operating System: Ubuntu 16.10
- Geographical region servers: Germany
EOSrock Junglenet BP node is up and running!
Scaling plan – post launch
With our EOSrock team members in Serbia, Slovenia and US, we plan to deploy stackable infrastructure in Tier 3 data center environments with highest levels of redundancy and security. Our selected hardware surpasses requirements by designing a base configuration and scaling it up and out to match the anticipated number of users and transaction levels.
High availability distributed build-outs insure that in case of a primary BP failure, a failover process to the backup BP node will be initiated with no service impact and downtime.
With one of our team members from the original Google Cloud Platform architecture team, and SW engineer in Lisk producer node role, we are capable of scaling the largest blockchain networks efficiently and fast. We will continue to improve performance and redundancy of our infrastructure based on constant benchmarking.
We will be closely monitoring the processes and hardware across the distributed environments, by using in house built automation tools.
