ASTRON

In August 2020, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) initiated the Xinghuo Blockchain Infrastructure & Facility (Xinghuo BIF). Currently, Xinghuo BIF stands as one of the largest blockchain infrastructures in China, extending its reach across diverse regions and industries. It boasts 10 super nodes driving the establishment of over 40 application backbone nodes in key sectors such as smart manufacturing, agriculture, energy, healthcare, and biopharmaceuticals. 
In 2022, to enhance global connectivity and international services, ASTRON was launched as the overseas expansion of Xinghuo BIF. Ongoing efforts include the rapid development of international super nodes and services.
