Our Beliefs

DO GOOD

We empower people, protect the planet, and fight for what’s right.

We are on a mission to reimagine and build the infrastructure and tools needed for greater control over digital interactions and better protection of user data as we prepare for the next generation of the internet – Web3 – all for the purpose of empowering individuals.

Our purpose drives Blockchains’ strategic decisions, partnership evaluations, organizational structure, hiring processes, and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Our Beliefs
  REIMAGINE EVERYTHING. EMPOWER EVERYONE.

Ethos for Collaboration

As collaborative partners, we seek to reidentify the corporate model. In so doing, the following guiding principles govern our relationships and joint projects:

First and foremost, we believe in standing up for the individuals – those who often get overlooked in traditional business models. We commit to establishing a new way of doing business that no longer views the individual as a consumer, but instead partners with the individual as a prosumer: a person who not only consumes a product, but also helps produce it. By redefining the relationship between businesses and their audiences, we can ensure that everyone has a stake in our company’s profitability, products, and approach.

We will demonstrate that products and services currently provided through centralized business models can thrive in a distributed ecosystem, whether it be through using blockchain technology to ensure provenance, facilitating payments in cryptocurrency, or embracing non-hierarchical corporate governance and decision-making.

It is our belief that for individuals to have equal footing with companies, they need access to verifiable information. We share a commitment to create more efficient, equitable, and transparent systems to enable a level playing field for all.

To protect individuals and their private data, we will work toward creating a community that places all decisions regarding the use of individual data in the hands of the individual, thereby empowering the user to control access rights to such data.

It is our intent that together, we will innovate and implement emerging technologies in a way that benefits everyone – and in doing so, create the blueprint for a revolutionary new corporate and social model.

 

 

 

Ways We Do Good

We are dreamers, builders, thinkers, and innovators here to prove what the blockchain can do. Our purpose — to reimagine everything and empower everyone — may be too ambitious to some, but not to us. We believe in it and work hard every day to make sure that our vision is realized. While we consider ourselves a young company, we believe it's never too early to have an eye toward community impact. Our principal core value is, in fact, "Do Good."

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Protecting the environment and conserving Earth’s limited natural resources is important to Blockchains. As such, we’re a firm advocate of the three Rs of waste management: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce the amount of disposable materials we consume, such as plasticware and paper cups, as well as adhere to responsible paper use and printing guidelines. Reuse plastic bags for trash collection and repurpose old clothes as cleaning rags. Recycle paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, and other materials. We believe that every small effort helps our planet.

Food Bank of Northern Nevada

In a company-coordinated opportunity, several Blockstars came together as volunteers at the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, an emergency food service for families in northern Nevada, to process about 4,000 pounds of food – equivalent to about 3,300 meals. We raised an additional 1,300 meals through a virtual food drive.

Blockchain in Nevada

Blockchains hopes to see the state’s nascent blockchain ecosystem continue to grow, and we believe blockchain-friendly legislation signals to others that Nevada embraces the technology’s economic development potential.
