ABOUT

Our Story

The Blockchains Vision

Blockchains was founded in July 2014 by Jeffrey Berns, a consumer protection attorney and early adopter of blockchain technology. With our founder’s background at the forefront of everything we do, we are committed to protecting and empowering individuals through the development of applications, services, and ecosystems set to change the way people interact with technology, infrastructure, and each other. Our software solutions presently in development focus on preparing the world for the next phase of the internet’s evolution – Web 3.0 – with an emphasis on digital identity, digital assets, connected devices, and a stable means of digital payment.

Blockchains is dedicated to innovating with unlimited velocity; so, our efforts do not stop at software. We envision a world transformed by blockchain technology, in which the distinct line between digital- and real-world interactions no longer exists; or at the very least, all of our actions are interwoven. Blockchains plans to build an advanced technology park in northern Nevada, where we, along with other like-minded companies, can come together in a sandbox environment to create a better future for all.

I spent my career fighting bullies, fighting big companies, and I whole-heartedly believe there is no other fix. We have to empower ourselves, and this technology – supported by infrastructure and the real-world – truly can empower everyone.

Jeffrey Berns, Founder

Our Purpose

We are on a mission to reimagine and build the infrastructure and tools needed for greater personal control over digital interactions and better protection of personal information through blockchain-based security, while offering the freedom of choice and an easy-to-use interface—all for the purpose of empowering individuals.

Our purpose drives Blockchains’ strategic decisions, product development, partnership evaluations, organizational structure, and corporate social responsibility.

Declaration of Intent

Blockchains' manifesto is a culmination of our beliefs, values, and actions that guide us.

A lot of companies are out to change the world.And a lot of technology they create is doing just that.But are the changes helping or hurting?It seems like every day we have less trust, less transparency, and less convenience,replaced with more terms…more conditions…more questions…and more doubt than ever before.We’re out to change the world…but only for the better.To a place where trust isn’t implied… it’s guaranteed.Where everyone gets a fair shake and no one gets shaken down.Where your vote is your vote…your name is yours alone…and your word…is your bond.A place where everything that matters is protected by a bond that is unbreakable.How will we change the world?One block at a time.

IdentityManagement

In the physical world, your identity is generally made up of your name and a government-issued ID card that provides the necessary credentials to prove you are who you say you are. A digital identity works the same way – providing the digital world with credentials that prove you are who you say you are – but goes far beyond your name and possible picture. Our digital identity management system allows users to build digital representations of themselves to prove their identity, the things associated with them – important digital documents, property, devices – and access rights to certain services and information. An attestation framework enables a chain of trust in interacting with other users and business or government entities anchored on the blockchain.

Our Unique Approach

Digital Identity for Everyone, Everything

Our digital identity solutions give control of personal data back to users while delivering the benefits of trusted, distributed identity to consumers and organizations. The solution uses sophisticated key management technology to protect users’ identities, allow for recovery of lost e-wallets, and provides access control, including shared access control. Designed to support and integrate with other digital blockchain products such as digital wallets or blockchain applications, our digital identity solution aims to serve as a universal login for other applications while also promising to provide users with self-sovereign control of the dissemination and monetization of personal data.

An interoperable identity solution provides benefits well beyond individuals’ personal data but holds a unique opportunity for businesses and governments to embrace compatible and connected systems. Our institutional-grade data validation software allows trusted authorities the opportunity to contribute to, and collaborate with, Blockchains’ digital ecosystems and generate revenue from it in a transparent and ethical way.

A New Type of Digital Identity

Current Systems

Addressing data privacy and control issues is becoming increasingly important in a world where so much of our critical information is housed online within centralized systems, or, to the extreme opposite, continues to be archived in paper form. Additionally, most identity systems today exist in isolation, where private and public solutions for maintaining records are not connected, let alone compatible with each other.

Blockchain-Based Identity

A digital identity solution aims to address the problems of privacy, access rights control to personal data and records, and the means of storage for important identifying information. Since identity information is very confidential, it must be properly secured, and the user must be enabled to use this data in a self-determined way.

Digital Identity for All

When evaluating current processes and models such as supply chain and logistics, utility and energy, and other public and governmental services, every individual and entity involved in such processes would benefit from having a verified digital identity, and the systems and processes set in place would allow for tracking of each of those participants' involvement.
