Elrond is ready to provide the internet with the layer of trust it needs, at the speed it requires it. Our technology attracted an important ecosystem of partners and the attention of the crypto space. That is because the hard work of the Elrond team was supported by our community.

The capabilities of the Elrond blockchain are constantly demonstrated on the public testnet operated by a network of enthusiast validators. It started with a small group on Riot and has reached hundreds of members. Their constant support and commitment of time, energy and resources have helped Elrond get where it is today.

The Palm Tree Network team has been a constant presence in the validator community, have contributed feedback and suggestions to the team, support to other members and even valuable tutorials for all to use, like their recent monitoring guide.

Elrond is therefore happy to announce that The Palm Tree Network will extend their development and bootstrapping support beyond the Elrond Mainnet.

Battle of Nodes helps us discover more than just bugs in the code. It is an opportunity for our community to prove their knowledge, commitment and willingness to help us and each other. The Palm Tree Network team were amongst those who stepped up to the challenge in a very good way. We feel confident and proud to entrust them with operating nodes at Genesis.said Lucian Mincu, Elrond CIO

We were drawn to the Elrond network by their vision to make blockchain simple to use. We were happy to discover a solid technology core and an exceptional group of people gathered around it. We knew right away that we wanted to join and we’re very excited about the scope of our collaboration.” said Jose F. Aznar, The Palm Tree Network CEO
