At banderini, we've always believed in the power of the blockchain to change the world. This promise is no better encapsulated than with Cardano, a decentralised, trustless system built on years of rigorous scientific research and experimentation.

secure
Core node is not exposed to the internet. Management layers are only accessible via private VPN, there are no SSH endpoints exposed to the internet on any nodes. Block producing node is configured to only receive traffic from banderini relays. Nodes are regularly patched and scanned for vulnerabilities
resilient
Nodes are containerised. This mobility enables us to use orchestration tools like Kubernetes to reschedule a node somewhere else if the underlying hardware were to fail. Docker also allows us to perform zero downtime upgrades and patching of block producing and relay nodes, so no blocks are missed.
fast
Regional relay nodes are connected over fast private links so blocks are propagated in the quickest time possible. 8gb of RAM on each node and redundant 1 Gbps links
