Atlanta, GA - EZ Blockchain brought online its 2nd project to transform underutilized energy into crypto mining in West Point, GA. The full-service green crypto mining company is expanding its data center operations in West Point, by doubling its capacity from 8MWs to 16 MWs.

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,
