EBSI-NE

The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure – Nodes Expansion (EBSI-NE) project is a collaborative initiative between 24 organisations from 14 European countries, all renowned for their expertise in Distributed Ledger Technologies and previous EBSI initiatives.

The consortium aims to develop and adopt the EBSI network at the European level by increasing the number of validator nodes in the production network and providing support for all relevant EBSI stakeholders.

The consortium’s work will be carried out for two years and will deploy 18 EBSI nodes into the production phase.
