Gatotech has just contracted out its second Bare Metal server, this time it was decided that this node should be located outside of the city of London and from a different hosting provider to meet the decentralisation goals of the networks we are proud to serve at the moment (Polkadot & Kusama) and to continue working towards the net-zero commitments of the Crypto Climate Accord and the networks we plan to serve in the future (e.g. Aleph Zero).
Today Gatotech have joined the testnet of Aleph Zero as one of the first community validators to spin their nodes and sync the blockchain.
