StrongNode Benefits and How Utilizing Idle Compute Resources Lead to Reducing Global Carbon Footprint
Infrastructure-as-a-Service technology company StrongNode.io CEO and Co-founder Daniel Saito is the featured guest in the recent AMA episode between StrongNode and Metablockchain. The AMA session happened on 19 January 2023 at the Metablockchain Telegram channel. Daniel answered questions from the group, from the Twitter audience, and from the live segment like StrongNode development updates, AnzenVPN updates, and more.
Some of the highlighted moments at the StrongNode x Metablockchain AMA can be found below:
Any sneak peek into 2023 plans for StrongNode?
Daniel Saito: As we have mentioned earlier, StrongNode has been in deep development as we’ve been working on solutions around our VPN product line. This is something that we are working on and you’ll hear more about our product this 2023.
In case you guys missed it, our $SNE LP Staking Farm on Tokensfarm is still going strong and we have extended the liquidity pool until JULY 2023. We successfully staked 324.369M $SNE tokens and our Tokensfarm $SNE-MATIC pool is tracking 112.53% APY.
If you haven’t staked your $SNE tokens now, this would be a good time to lock in your place in the LP pool. For your consideration, click this link to go to $SNE LP staking farm on Tokensfarm: https://tokensfarm.com/sne/lp/1

I’ve read that StrongNode Edge users can save money on energy expenses, which lowers their carbon footprint, but how are these benefits actually understood? Is it possible that the new projects and its own technologies will be strengthened without the need for mining equipment?
Daniel: Yes, that’s correct. StrongNode aims to build a virtualized infrastructure where $SNE can be earned by providing “resources” to the StrongNode Edge Network. We have vendors willing to rent out computing time and resources in exchange for $SNE token.
We have a commitment in being a leader in the green tech market as we want to introduce the idea of GREEN MINING.
Green mining in this case is using and retooling your old unappreciated devices and have it join the StrongNode network. The idea of recycling old tech to get new tech is something that I wanted to piece together overtime. StrongNode allows for all this to happen as the vision is to keep computers out of the trash and properly recycle their digital devices.
When we say computing resources, that would mean the idle resources from the common digital devices. Common digital devices include your phone, PC, and laptop. ANYONE with an internet connection and computer or mobile phone or basically any digital device can access the network. We wanted to keep the hurdle low so we can accept anyone with TCP/IP to make money.
I read that in fact StrongNode also provides new features like VPN and proxy when they light up the network stack. So can you tell us a bit about this? What are the innovations that you are implementing in your network and how far do you want to expand your node technology?
Daniel: AnzenVPN is our decentralized VPN solution. We believe in user privacy. By establishing a layer of privacy and security and deep encryption at a protocol level to TCP IP, this allows for people to communicate without censorship. And as we’re seeing with a lot of large, big tech companies, they are choosing who they want to ban and how they want to limit connections based off of regions and locations.
We want it to actually have a secure connection so we chose OpenVPN as that’s the standard in regards to secure connectivity as they’ve done it right as an open source solution. For AnzenVPN, we currently work on Windows. Anyone that runs Windows can actually run the software.
