EOS Block Producer
Our Story
EOS Costa Rica is a company spinoff with over three decades of developing technologies in Costa Rica. During the 80s, we launched the first BBS (bulletin board service) in the country, a precursor to the internet. Later on, the company shifted to educating new users on using email and browsing the web. Then, we started offering internet infrastructure, hosting, and development services.In 2013, we began providing infrastructure for public blockchain networks and learned first-hand how blockchains work. Then, in 2018 when EOSIO was launched, we investigated the advantages of this technology and started learning how to deploy it in the real world. We were there during the genesis of the EOS Mainnet and will continue to be there throughout its growth.Our Values

Why Costa Rica?
We are the first EOS block producer candidate in Central America and one of the few in Latin America. We believe that Costa Rica’s features can be an excellent asset for aggregating diversity to the EOS network, be it for its political stability, absence of an army, or respect to Human Rights. Additionally, its technical infrastructure, stable political framework, flexible corporate structure, and defined jurisdiction makes it an opportunistic network available for the censorship-resistant EOS.Liberty and Peace
Costa Rica is one of the most stable and longest-lasting Democracies in America. It abolished its army in 1948 to promote education and wellbeing and stands out on equality and innovation.Human Rights
Costa Rica is founded on respect to Human Rights, and even the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights based its headquarters in San José.Ecology
Costa Rica promotes sustainable development and houses more than 4% of the world’s biodiversity, where more than 26% of its territory comprises of protected areas and National Parks.Strategic location
Costa Rica is conveniently located in the middle of the Americas. The country connects three submarine fiber optic cables, providing real-time fail- over and redundancy to our infrastructure.Equality
Costa Ricans value equality for all. For instance, the country ranks as the first in Latin America for gender equality.
