1st Quarter

EZ Blockchain™ was born in 2017 with the mission to get the best technology into crypto miners’ hands. The company started as a provider of data center hosting solutions for high density computing such as proof-of-work blockchain also known as crypto mining.

2nd Quarter

The first EZ Blockchain™ office was opened in Chicago in 2017. The company culture was one of self-supporting excitement. Bitcoin and crypto mining were fast-moving markets. And once the team pivoted to focus on energy, they collectively knew they were building something big.

3d Quarter

The company has diversified its revenue streams by participating in proprietary crypto mining. The team helped miners over the transformation of GPU to ASICs computation around that same time. In the company’s first year, there was such high demand that they started providing data center hosting solutions in addition to equipment.

1st Quarter

By early 2018, EZ Blockchain™ was already developing its first line of high-density computing modular data centers. These were mobile data centers retrofitted into shipping containers. The idea was that the container could be easily moved to follow the cheapest source of energy.

3d Quarter

EZ Blockchain™ opened a new mobile data center site 1.5-hour drive from Chicago. The new location, comprised of three data centers, is projected to deploy up to 3 megawatts (MW) of power — but has the capacity for 6 MW.

February

The company grew its focus on wasted energy, specifically on flared gas, stranded gas and landfill gas. We developed a mobile flaring mitigation system available to be deployed right on oil pads to reduce flaring, called EZ Smartgrid™, which consists of a gas electric generator and a Smartbox™ — a mobile data center filled with crypto mining equipment.

December

Throughout 2019, EZ Blockchain™ has been preparing to expand the business by building bitcoin mining containers manufacturing.

June

EZ Blockchain™ launched the EZ Smartbox™ 3.0, a 40 ft container size mobile unit with its extraordinary efficiency and power capacity for cryptocurrency mining operations. Smartbox™ 3.0 is designed to stay ahead of the fast-paced environment by providing full plug-and-play mobile data centers within a reasonable upfront cost.

February

EZ Blockchain™ installed the first mobile data center filled with MicroBt Whatsminer crypto mining equipment almost 1MW of power consumption at the site of a Silver Energy client in Alberta, Canada. The project installation took three days and the data centers were fully operational by March 2021.

March

Wesco Operating, Inc. installed the EZ Smartgrid™ Flaring Mitigation System™ by EZ Blockchain™, reducing flaring from 240,000 scf per day to 0. The client’s goal was to eliminate flaring at their gas processing plant and monetize the flared gas in an alternative way by doing crypto mining on-site.

April

Sergii Gerasymovych is an honouree of the 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe in the Manufacturing and Industry category “Creating the products, methods, and materials of tomorrow”.

May

EZ Blockchain™ opened a Houston, TX office to target wasted natural gas in Permian Basin

June

EZ Blockchain™ is an official sponsor of the Bitcoin 2021 Conference in Miami. Sergii Gerasymovych, Co-Founder and CEO of EZ Blockchain, moderated a panel discussion “How Bitcoin Mining Fixes Our Energy Problems”.

September

Mass production of the new mobile data centers with immersion cooling Smartbox™ 1500i was started.

March

EZ Blockchain™ Introduced its Immersion Cooling Crypto Mining Container to the market – Smartbox™ 1500i. This engineering breakthrough has a 20ft container footprint while being a lightweight data center capable of operating up to 288 of the newest generation cryptocurrency miners with the electrical infrastructure that gives hash rate increase up to 40%.

April

EZ Blockchain™ is an official sponsor of the Bitcoin 2022 Conference in Miami. Sergii Gerasymovych, Co-Founder and CEO of EZ Blockchain, participated in a panel titled “Building New Grids.” EZ Blockchain launched a new line of business – Hosting Services. We started building hosting facilities to enter new energy markets.

The Ranger I project (GA) is completed

May

EZ Blockchain™ expanded its facilities to 16 MWs in Georgia by tapping into underutilized energy on the grid. The company invested in total of over $1 million into the area to tap into this energy, hiring only local contractors. Additionally, EZ Blockchain™ created 8 full-time and well-paying tech jobs. The Ranger II project (GA) is completed.

June

The Coffee I project (GA) is completed. EZ Blockchain™ generated jobs and revenue for the local community and to do it in such a way that we were not a bother to the community.

July

The Flower I project (KS) is completed. EZ Blockchain™ established a good working relationship with a miner manufacturer and worked with wasted wind energy to transform it into a new revenue stream in cryptocurrency.

1st Quarter

EZ Blockchain successfully weathers the recent of crypto winter storm combined with unprecedented energy crisis even stronger by breaking ground on the expansion of the Coffee 1 project to 16 MW total. 



Q1

EZ Blockchain began providing Bitcoin mining hosting services to retail customers, expanding its power capacity to 60MW across all sites, with an additional 40MW under development. In early 2024, the company launched the upgraded SB2000 air-cooled mining container.

Mission statement Sustainable crypto mining

As the first company in the world that created a mobile solid frame mining container and an industry leader of portable data center manufacturing, we see that the world needs bitcoin mining to be green and go towards null carbon emission. Instead of just buying carbon credits, we run an extra mile to find unutilized or wasted energy in isolated locations to bring jobs and technologies to local communities while mining bitcoin.

WE ARE THE THOUGHT LEADERS IN THE INDUSTRY

We pioneered crypto mining in mobile data on flared and stranded gas, we established one of the largest manufacturing of crypto mining containers in the US. We established the narrative of Bitcoin mining to be an integral part of energy industry.

Regulations that vary by state sometimes spark miners to move their operations. Sergii Gerasymovych was excited when his crypto company sold a big mining rig to an oil and gas operator with plans to mine Bitcoin in New Mexico. But when the company started to install the mobile rig, which burns natural gas that would otherwise be flared to power about 700 miners, they learned that New Mexico strictly regulated generators like the one in the mining rig.
