SOS leased approximately 1350 square meters of space from Leibodong Hydropower Station in Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan, in late March. SOS started the construction of a cloud cryptocurrency mining center and has recently completed the first phase of approximately 300 square meters which can accommodate approximately 1,100 rigs.

Leibodong project is a model for us to obtain low-cost electricity in Sichuan and other southwest regions, rich in renewable energy resources to expand our digital currency mining operations. The completion of the Phase I construction and the delivery of 575 ETH mining machines lay a solid foundation for the further success of our cloud cryptocurrency mining center in Leibodong.
