The new Open Internet is a decentralized, transparent, and more resilient network that replaces gatekeepers and corporate data trafficking with empowered individuals.
Through blockchain and cryptonetworks, we can foster a culture and system of collaboration where open-source innovation can accelerate permissionless and trustless advancement. Empowering society to adopt distributed and shared structures of power will establish an open and participatory governance that leverages social capital and rewards individual sovereignty.

The Block Fund will aim to realize the full potential of blockchain and crypto by investing in a select number of high-conviction opportunities each year.

We believe that over the next decade, these three core areas will have the most significant impact on realizing the Open Internet:
Data Infrastructure
A vision of a trustless internet where the underlying architecture is devoid of trusted data and intermediary service providers. Where individuals have empowerment, sovereignty, and control over their data and internet usage
We are early supporters of Biconomy, which simplifies experiences on Web3; Nym, which builds the next generation of privacy infrastructure; and Pocket Network, which coordinates open access to the world’s public data by empowering anyone to provide unstoppable infrastructure.

Digital Communities
A bridge across the traditional boundaries that separate creators and businesses from the communities that share their value
We see NFTs, social tokens, DAOs, and other community-focused platforms and tools converging to empower the next generation of communities and creators to thrive. This convergence will provide greater choice, closer agency with each other, and create alternative livelihoods outside of traditional business and employment structures.

Decentralized Finance
The future of finance will be built on blockchain rails, bringing seismic benefits to individual finance and economic empowerment. Through incentivized protocols acting as wholesale manufacturers and distributors of financial assets.
These services will provide centralized interfaces that compete by offering convenience, values-based control, and localized features tailored to specific regulatory, tax, and language requirements.
We are early supporters of transformative DeFi platforms such as Chainflip, which is developing cross-chain swaps, and Vega, a decentralized protocol for creating and trading any margined financial product.
