“Since switching to BlockJoy, we are now able to run our API nodes outside legacy cloud providers and we anticipate saving over 60% of our operating costs,” said Marc Nijdam, CTO, Nova Labs. “This partnership has also saved our team hundreds of hours a month by no longer having to manage daily fires. The cost and time saved, have already made a significant difference for us in our operations, and we’re excited to see how far this partnership takes us.”
