The Argentine government has announced that they are planning to install Ethereum Nodes in cities in 2023.
Diego Fernández, secretary of innovation and digital transformation in Argentina’s capital city of Buenos Aires, said at the South American country’s ETHTam conference on Thursday that it plans to deploy Ethereum Nodes in 2023.
Buenos Aires to Breakthroughs with Ethereum
The initiative that the Argentine government plans to launch in Buenos Aires is a milestone for the city. The initiative planned by the government will make Buenos Aires one of the first cities in the world to install Ethereum Nodes or a computer running Ethereum client software.
In an interview with CoinDesk, Fernandez stated that the attempt to deploy Ethereum Nodes has exploratory and regulatory purposes and will help the city of 3 million “develop adaptive regulations” for crypto.
The distribution of nodes will be carried out under the regulatory sandbox, which the Buenos Aires legislature approved in 2021. Through the Sandbox, the government of Buenos Aires will invite private parties to contribute to the deployment of nodes.
It is not yet clear how many nodes will be installed in the city, but it is stated that these nodes will be hosted in a world-class data center owned by the government of Buenos Aires.
