Sea of data or data you can see?

https://blockworks.co/news/blockworks-analytics-announcement-data

In 1983, Apple published a print ad for Apple Business Graphics, a software package that gave Apple II and Apple III computers “the power to convert rows and rows of numbers to — or pounds of printout — into one simple, colorful, comprehensible illustration.”

For the dreamers, the makers, the pioneers…and the rebels

Today signals a new dawn for on-chain crypto analytics.

Since the launch of Blockworks nearly six years ago, we’ve anticipated the meteoric rise of crypto as a significant asset class. As the industry has expanded, so has the demand for more sophisticated information.

During our first five years, our focus was crystal clear: deliver unparalleled content. From tentpole live events — Permissionless and the Digital Asset Summit — to in-depth podcasts, informative newsletters, and professional journalism, our journey is one of constant elevation.

We have now journeyed to the edge of possibility to reimagine research, data and analytics.

Built different.™

*The “Think Different” campaign from Apple celebrated non-conformity and creativity by honoring iconic figures who changed the world by thinking outside the box.*

Blockworks gets it

Through dialogue with crypto professionals, it’s clear: Today’s information platforms have major challenges. Some aren’t trustworthy, some are a mile wide and an inch deep, some have bad user interfaces, and others are simply too expensive.

The Blockworks approach is simple:

1. Depth over breadth: Many platforms stretch wide and try to capture everything. The result? They scratch the surface and miss the essence.

2. Authenticity rules: Many platforms lack a genuine understanding of crypto’s nuanced ecosystem, its culture and its technology.

3. Transparency builds trust: The landscape is clouded with undisclosed sponsorships, conflicts of interest and unchecked data. Trust isn’t a given — it’s earned.

4. Experience is everything: It’s not just about data. It’s about how you interact with it. Right now, navigating these platforms can be cumbersome, driving users to basic tools.

The heart and genius driving Blockworks

*Apple marketed the PowerBook as a revolutionary portable computer, blending design elegance with robust performance by highlighting the unique ways users utilized their PowerBooks.*

At Blockworks, people are everything

Our beliefs are as profound as the minds that champion them:

1. Research: We don’t just study trends, we define them. Nor are our insights just data — they’re glimpses into the future.

2. Governance: With GovHub, we don’t just track protocol proposals. We empower users with the clarity and conviction to make informed governance choices.

3. On-chain analytics: It’s not just about numbers or layers. It’s about delivering deep insight into the very fabric of layer-1s and layer-2s.

Guided by these pillars, we see a future where every executive, investor, builder and crypto-lover can leverage Blockworks Research to make intelligent decisions.

Charting the future

In a world where platforms often demand premium prices for what they offer, Blockworks takes a different approach. Smarter Crypto Intelligence costs just $208/month.

Our vision is to make 2023 a defining moment for on-chain analytics. Evoking the words of Wayne Gretzky, “At Blockworks, we don’t merely go where the puck is. We go where it’s going to be.”

Blockworks Research is more than just a platform. It’s a smarter approach to crypto intelligence.

Blockworks Announces Fundraise at $135 Million Valuation

https://blockworks.co/news/blockworks-fundraise-135-valuation

Dear Blockworks community,

Our mission at Blockworks has always been to create a level playing field for information.

We launched Blockworks with the thesis that as crypto grew, the industry and its participants would demand better information.

For the past five years, that’s what we’ve built. From world-class conferences to professional journalism and from podcasts and newsletters to deep research, we’ve helped drive forward many of crypto’s most important conversations.

Together, our team of journalists, researchers, data analysts, writers, podcast hosts, and operators make up the most trusted media and information brand in crypto.

Today, we’re excited to announce a $12 million dollar investment led by 10T Holdings with participation from Framework Ventures and Santiago Santos. This investment ushers in the next era of Blockworks, deepens our ability to provide more powerful information to our audience, and marks a big step forward towards our mission.

Expanding our vision

Since we launched more than five years ago, the quality of crypto media and journalism has improved drastically. However, crypto research, data, and analytics remain fragmented across disparate platforms. Protocol financials and key metrics are kept shrouded in mystery, there are no widely accepted valuation frameworks, and governance is opaque and non-inclusive.

Solving this is the next challenge that we’re taking on at Blockworks.

For the past year, we’ve been building Blockworks Research, a powerful investment platform that brings together data, analytics, research, governance, and real-time news. Financial institutions and deeply crypto-native investors rely on Blockworks Research to make better decisions. This investment allows us to double-down on this effort to bring better information to the industry.

As Blockworks evolves from a media brand to a full-scale information platform, our community will continue to receive the unbiased, quality content they expect from Blockworks, and they’ll also get access to deep analytics, thoughtful research, valuation frameworks, and governance.

The future is bright

The future has never looked brighter for crypto than it does today.

Our growth thus far has been grassroots and community driven. We couldn’t have done this without our amazing community – thank you for your support and belief in what we’re doing. We’re excited to continue growing and evolving with you by our side.

We’re thrilled to take this next step in our journey and grow our team, invest in new technology, expand internationally, and bring you even more high-quality content that will help you navigate the ever-changing world of crypto.

Crypto is still in its early days, and so is Blockworks. Here’s to the next chapter. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Sincerely,

Jason and Mike

Introducing GovHub: A Smarter Way to Track Governance

https://blockworks.co/news/govhub-tracking-governance

We’re excited to announce the launch of GovHub, crypto’s most powerful governance platform. GovHub gives you the ability to track and analyze protocol proposals across the industry so you can make better informed governance decisions.

In a world where trillions of dollars of value flow through protocols, governance proposals play a very crucial role. Keeping up with all the proposals and determining their importance can be a daunting task. That’s why we built GovHub.

GovHub stands out from other tools on the market by tracking proposals from ideation to implementation. Our research and governance team lives in the governance forums, Discords and Telegram chats so you don’t have to.

If you own governance tokens, participate in governance, or want to governance alpha before it hits Twitter, GovHub is for you!

Here are some features you’ll love:

Governance Feed: Filter by importance, status, ecosystem, category, timeline, and more:

Insights and Sentiment: Click into a proposal to access a summary, details, stage, analysis and recent proposals:

Analyst Voting Stance: Our analysts will share their voting stance for each proposal, giving you a clear understanding of our position without needing to read the entire insight:

To access GovHub, log in to your Blockworks Research account and find the new GovHub tab on the left side.

TLDR; Sign up for a Blockworks Research subscription:

Greater awareness of governance votes
Simplified tracking for governance obligations
Intellectual and honest takes on what’s happening behind the scenes for votes
Informed opinions that result in net benefits for the protocols

We believe that GovHub will help advance complex conversations, foster transparent systems, and bring a deeper understanding of what’s happening inside protocols to our subscribers.

Happy governing, anon.

Jason
