Our Technology

Our core servers are securely located at two Tier 3 data centres, in Sydney, Australia. This allows us to synchronously replicate all data across both locations, in real-time to ensure zero data loss should disaster strike and we have a fully configured production environment ready to fail over to should the need arise. Our data is signed and encrypted multiple times using geographically dispersed keys, spread across four data centres and we of course utilise cold storage to hold the majority of Bitcoins completely offline.

To highlight our commitment to security, we have enlisted Cobalt as our penetration testing partner. Read more about our Bug Bounty program here.

Our Foundation

Independent Reserve is the result of a fifteen year partnership between Adam Tepper and Adrian Przelozny. Specialists in digital platforms and security they envisaged an exchange that made digital currency easy to understand, use and trade by all people.

To help achieve this they enlisted market experts, driving knowledge, security and openness through everything they did.

Since launch Independent Reserve has achieved a number of milestones.

Unfortunately, Adam died six months after launch. But the shared vision lives on, Adam has been significant in changing the face of digital currency, striving to set higher standards, make it more obtainable, and ensuring that Independent Reserve continues to raise the bar, making it the Bitcoin and Digital Currency Market.
