Pool nodes are based in an EU data centre, powered by renewable energy. Servers are placed in a high-available cluster adjacent to the hardware of the biggest HFT firms. Every component of the system is fault-tolerant and backed up. Our robust setup is benefitting from industrial grade 24/7 monitoring bound to the Cardano services. If anything goes wrong with a node – another one kicks in immediately with next to zero downtime.

Relays are connected to data centre networking with fibre optics. Currently this allows for an average response time of 372 ms from all HYGGE nodes, which is important in the event of slot battles between the pools.
