Blockstack PBC Annual Report for 2019: Enabling A User Owned Internet

Jump to the report

Blockstack’s mission is to enable a user owned internet; an internet where users have privacy and complete control of their digital assets. In 2017, we became a Delaware public benefit corporation because this mission has a clear public benefit and we wanted to encode it directly into our company as deeply as possible.

Our Board of Directors even included the following in our certificate of incorporation. It reads: “The specific public benefit purpose of the Corporation is to enable an open, decentralized internet which will benefit all internet users by giving them more control over information and computation.”

As part of our commitment to being a public benefit corporation, we deliver an annual report. In this report, we detail how we’ve worked toward our declared public benefit over the past year. Blockstack PBC is measured against the following standards:

  • Build open-source tools for the decentralized Web: We empower developers with open-source tools to build for users who value their privacy and freedom.
  • Improve developer access and experience through education: We want to create accessible education for developers to build independent applications and learn from peers in the space.
  • Support a robust ecosystem of software developers, entrepreneurs, and users: We raise awareness of the benefits of the Blockstack ecosystem. These include becoming part of a community of developers, having the tools to launch a business, and giving back control to users.
  • Support the diversity of the Blockstack network: We’re committed to increasing diversity in the Blockstack ecosystem through partnerships, international expansion, and support of underrepresented groups.
  • Promote transparent regulatory frameworks: Collaboration with regulators helps to make the Blockstack ecosystem compliant, transparent, and accessible to investors.

Highlights for 2019 include the release of our Clarity smart contracts language, partnering with Lambda School, the release of our Stacks Token Economics Whitepaper v2.0, growth of Blockstack applications to 300+, a 30x increase in Blockstack brand awareness (as measured by Awario), and completion of the first-ever SEC-qualified Reg A token offering, among many other updates.

Blockstack made huge strides this year in promoting its public benefit purpose. We thank our shareholders, developers, users, and Stacks holders for their support. We will continue our commitment to our community and to fulfill our mission to grow internet ownership.

We can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together in 2020. Join us in working towards an open, decentralized internet that benefits everyone:
