Why Blockstream
Skip the hassle of a brand-new blockchain.
We launch your chain with a proven formula and established track record.
Production-proven.
Enterprise blockchains are based on Elements, the open-source codebase settling real assets in production since 2018.
Real-world assets issued today.
Promissory notes funding credit access for non-bank lenders are issued on the same codebase, alongside stablecoins, structured products, tokenized stocks, and more.
Security in the protocol.
Issuance, multisignature, and confidential transactions are built into the chain itself, with no add-on contracts to secure.
Building on bitcoin since 2014.
We’ve built bitcoin infrastructure for exchanges, institutions, and individual holders ever since.

Step 3
