Exaion is a subsidiary of EDF Group, the second largest electric utility company in Europe with a yearly revenue of $70 billion, over 152,000 employees, and is partly owned by the French state.
Exaion specializes in high-performance computing and is a cloud provider of blockchain solutions.
In October 2020, Exaion became the first French corporation to participate in the Tezos ecosystem as a block validator and corporate baker.
This enabled Exaion to become part of the Tezos PoS ecosystem and community while contributing to the decentralization of the Tezos blockchain.
A “Corporate” baker is not a special type of baker with any special position within the Tezos ecosystem.
The fact that this baker will be run by a corporation simply emphasizes the amount of trust and involvement big corporations show in the Tezos blockchain.
The blockchain does not notice any difference between a baker that is run by a single person or by a big corporation. All rules apply to all bakers.
As a baker Exaion EDF Group has currently over 40,000 XTZ at stake and a capacity of over 400,000 XTZ as can be seen here.
Node-as-a-Service
Now Exaion has announced their ExaionNode, a Node-as-a-Service platform, providing instant, simplified & secure access to dedicated, or shared nodes.

Etherlink, the Tezos blockchain’s latest Layer 2 solution, is set to redefine the landscape of decentralized applications (DApps) with its upcoming mainnet launch in March 2024. This EVM-compatible, optimistic rollup distinguishes itself from other external Layer 2 platforms like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon, due to its unique enshrinement within the Tezos blockchain.
Starting on December 6 with an exhibition, panels and performances at the Nautilus Hotel, curatorial platforms, partners and marketplaces from around the world will co-curate contemporary digital art minted on Tezos. Over 50 works will be shown, ranging from historical pieces to contemporary editions sold during the event, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Trevor Project, an American nonprofit organisation raising funds for suicide prevention amongst LGBTQ+ youth.
The Tezos Foundation announces its support for the Vigicard project, the first mobile application improving the monitoring of patients subject to drug allergies. Based on Tezos blockchain technology, the application was co-developed by a team of Europe-renowned allergists from Montpellier University Hospital, and Web3 experts Codinsight.
