StrongbBlock

StrongBlock is the first and only blockchain-agnostic protocol to reward nodes for supporting the infrastructure of their blockchain.

Why incentivize nodes? With limited resources and no financial incentive, many nodes run out-of-date software, maintain incomplete blockchain histories , and are intermittently off-line. There is no easy mechanism to fix this problem once a blockchain is launched.

To solve this, StrongBlock has made it possible for anyone to create a node in seconds — or add their own node — and receive STRONG token rewards every day. More nodes equals more resilience.

We see the future, and it’s on the blockchain. Yet blockchain technology is difficult. Our mission is to make blockchains easy for anyone to support and participate in.

We accomplish this through our breakthrough technology, where with a few clicks we create, host, maintain and update your node for you.

We imagine a world where the StrongBlock Node Army supports dozens of protocols and millions of nodes.

Blockchains are decentralized ledgers. The decentralization occurs through many points - miners and nodes - that each hold a full set of transactions.

Miners record transactions and synchronize them with other miners, upholding the integrity of the blockchain. Miners are compensated.

Nodes are responsible for keeping a full, up-to-date copy of all blockchain transactions, and providing access points where that full copy can be quickly accessed by blockchain applications. Nodes are typically not compensated.

Previous to StrongBlock's Nodes-as-a-Service, running a node required knowledge of blockchain coding, as well as having a server able to run the node reliably throughout the day.

Nodes need to be upgraded as well, requiring knowledge of the upgrade and re-sync process on the blockchain.

By automating all of these processes, we make it possible for anyone to participate in the blockchain revolution.
