The National Library of El Salvadoran (Binaes) runs its own Bitcoin (BTC) node, according to the country’s Bitcoin National Office (ONBTC) and the Salvadoran educator who calls himself at the X “Games Pupusas” responsible for the project.
The nodes will be placed in a new section dedicated to Bitcoin within Binaes. It also provides a regular meeting cycle between outstanding authors and developers of the cryptoactive ecosystem. The initiative is applied at the hands of Node Nation SV. An organization that teaches children Minar Bitcoin In El Salvador.
It is not publicly disclosed which software customers will use BinaES nodes. Bitcoin’s core is The most common customers running a complete node of BitcoinDue to its robustness and widespread use in the community, there is no official confirmation selected in this case.
In the past, the Salvadoran government has used Bitcoin core for other nodes, as explained in X’s publication. Bitconner developer Samson Moh also showed that the government operates a complete node of the liquid network. This may suggest a preference for Bitcoin Core, but it is inconclusive for the specific case of Binice.
The project is backed by Node Nation SV, which teaches students to configure and manage nodes that include nodes in a network network, so it is also possible to consider scalability of this scale, such as LND and C-Rightning, as well as software compatible with full node customers.
However, this is speculative as the available information does not detail a particular client for this particular node.
Bitcoin, El Salvador, and Buquel united
El Salvador has been in the hottest centre since becoming the first country in 2021 To use Bitcoin as a fiat currency Under the leadership of Nayib Bukele. The terms granted to the BTC were “reaffirmed” at the end of January 2025 despite the International Monetary Fund (IMF) requesting that Central American countries modify aspects of their cryptographic actions laws.
The establishment of a Bitcoin Node in the National Library is interested in promoting Bitcoin education for the Salvador government, and promotes currency-related education projects created by Nakamoto. The adoption of technology (such as Bitcoin) is among other factors, Learning and knowledge transfer. By telling us what it is, how it is used and what it is to use such things, you can choose with the right information.
Therefore, as El Salvador continues to explore ways to integrate Bitcoin into economic and social structures, this step of Binaes could serve as a bridge for more people to understand and participate in the BTC ecosystem.
“I can’t wait to visit Binaes how the #bitcoin node works and tell the kids to show them the nodes that work there.”

Another initiative announced at the end of November 2024 that the Naive Bukere government would tackle a law that includes the use of geothermal energy in volcanoes in Mined Bitcoin, a model that has been praised for its innovation but has sparked concerns from the IMF. As Cryptonotics notified, the agreement between its international organisms and El Salvador limits mining practices and even the purchase of BTC by the government.
Currently, El Salvador is the seventh country with the largest Bitcoin Holdings, with a figure of 6,122 BTC, according to the Bitcoin Treasury Department, worth around $515 million.
This suspected carrier between national governments has a great advantage, each to achieve the largest possessions of both the US and China BTC, with 198,000 and 190,000 BTC, respectively.
