About MIMIR Blockchain Solutions

To minimize operational costs and increase the security offered by traditional web APIs, MIMIR Blockchain Solutions, an Atlanta, Georgia-based company, is creating the world’s first Decentralized Ethereum Service Provider (DESP), a new industry category that takes Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) beyond the cloud. The company’s flagship product, the MIMIR Blockchain to Internet (B2i) Bridge, brings blockchain to those “off-chain” by allowing direct access to the Ethereum-based Decentralized Application ecosystem from any web-connected device without the need for third-party trust.

The MIMIR Blockchain to Internet Bridge will allow those individuals with existing nodes to get paid for hosting blockchain access to those “off-chain”.

MIMIR is actively pursuing case study partners with Dapp developers and web APIs. These markets are in need of infrastructure solutions to satisfy the existing demand for nodes.
