The BlockSpaces Story

Start

Founded in 2017

Founded in 2017 in Tampa, Florida, BlockSpaces was one of the world’s first dedicated physical spaces for bitcoiners and blockchain enthusiasts to work, learn, collaborate, and build. By 2018, the space became known as a hub of activity and knowledge for businesses who were seeking to integrate this rapidly emerging technology for enterprise use cases.

Leveraging an extensive and growing network of savvy, passionate developers in both emerging tech and traditional enterprise systems, the company successfully guided numerous businesses in harnessing the transformative potential of decentralized, peer-to-peer frameworks with a wide range of notable projects and use cases.

Integrating Lighting

By late 2019, BlockSpaces recognized the need for a low-code platform that would seamlessly integrate blockchain solutions into existing enterprise systems. This innovative approach aimed to avoid disrupting traditional workflows and costly development cycles while simplifying the management of complex node infrastructure required for blockchain technology. The company quickly realized that efficient payment processing was a significant challenge, particularly in dealing with Lightning Network transactions, a second layer for Bitcoin designed for scalability and security. To address this, BlockSpaces developed an internal application, called Fusion, that later became the world's first Lightning offering on the Quickbooks marketplace.

Responding to the Market

In 2022, the financial industry faced multiple high-profile collapses due primarily to inadequate collateral risk management, highlighting a critical industry-wide problem. Drawing from their experience with the Lightning protocol and Fusion data integration technology, the BlockSpaces team envisioned a Bitcoin-native solution to comprehensively mitigate this risk.

BlockSpaces today is a Bitcoin-native financial and collateral risk management platform, built to serve the needs of Bitcoin companies, treasuries, lenders, OTC desks, and institutions. The core ARC engine utilizes Lightning’s bi-lateral, P2P channels for real-time margin settlement, demonstrating reduction of counterparty risk by over 90%. BlockSpaces' Fusion product seamlessly captures real-time Bitcoin/Lightning transaction data, ensuring accurate tracking, reporting, and settlement within existing financial systems, for full-cycle contract and financial management. From 2017 to the present , the company continues to focus on addressing critical industry challenges and offering innovative solutions for businesses in the digital age.

“We believe organizations like BlockSpaces that can facilitate a bridge between the “old world” and the new will have a huge impact on shaping the technology landscape over the next 5-10 years.”
