Story

Why we built it.

why BLOK exists

The first wallet I ever made showed me what was wrong with crypto, but I also understood what was wrong with the alternative.

Custodians don't run away with your money very often. They just quietly tell you no when you ask the wrong question. They charge you 2-and-20 to invest in the same five things. They send you a PDF every quarter and call it transparency.

BLOK is the protocol I wanted to use myself: a way to follow real managers, with on-chain receipts, without ever handing anyone the keys. We didn't invent any of the primitives, but we put them together in a way no one else had.

Principles

What we won't trade away.

  • 01

    Self-custody, always

    If we ever build a custodial product, we've gotten lost.

    In the contracts

  • 02

    Transparency by default

    If it can be on-chain, it should be on-chain. Receipts beat reports.

    In the receipts

  • 03

    Community-owned, by design

    Today the core members listed on Aragon vote. After the IDO, $BLOKC holders do, and then it stops being up to us.

    In the votes

  • 04

    Long-term wealth

    Compound, not pump. Boring is a feature.

    In the rebalance
