About us
To build trust in onchain markets and make crypto more transparent.
Blockworks sits at the center of crypto as an information platform transforming raw blockchain data into actionable research, alpha-driven insights, and institutional-grade analytics. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, the company operates across media, research, and software to bridge the trust gap between crypto issuers and investors. With 65-85 employees globally, Blockworks produces daily news, newsletters, podcasts like The Breakdown, and hosts major events including the Digital Asset Summit. The platform helps investors, operators, and institutions navigate onchain capital markets through market dashboards, protocol research, and treasury analytics. Following its 2026 acquisition of Messari, Blockworks has expanded into a comprehensive crypto data and intelligence platform.

The company offers a high-signal Data API for developers and operates a robust media network with daily newsletters, podcasts, and the flagship Digital Asset Summit conference. Market intelligence tools include dashboards for spot and derivatives volumes, open interest tracking, liquidations data, and treasury analytics across major crypto assets and networks.
