The consortium is made up of a mix of well-respected block producers, along with Metallicus, that acts as a point of contact for subjective matters for the XPR blockchain such as setting block producer standards, implementing a workers proposal system, liaison for governance issues, working with core developers for protocol upgrades, and more. The consortium is currently made up of Cryptolions, GenerEOS, EOS Amsterdam, Protonnz, Alvosec, and Metallicus.
Block Producers (BPs)
The XPR Network Consortium members and Block Producers are actively improving their infrastructure for smoother operations. Currently, three new BPs—dankbp, xprlabs, and artwebin—are being tested on the network and getting ready to join the mainnet soon.
