The establishment of free economic zones that foster blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption in Armenia is bearing fruit as a local mining operator adds 60MW of capacity to its power plant-based facility.
The establishment of the mining facility is the result of a partnership between the Armenian government and ECOSback in 2018, which charged the company with the development of the free economic zone aimed at making use of the power facility as a hub for data centers and cryptocurrency mining. Cointelegraph spoke to ECOS marketing manager Anna Komashko following the upgrade to its mining operation in Hrazdan in August. She unpacked the four-year journey to date, explaining that the Armenian government ‘positions itself as the country of blockchain.
The marketing manager confirmed the special tax conditions enjoyed by businesses operating at the Hrazdan site, with no taxes imposed for VAT, import and export customs duties or taxes on property and real estate. The project's longevity is backed by a 25-year agreement for an uninterrupted electric supply.
