About - block42

We envision a world of shared prosperity

block42 was founded to tackle two main issues we see nowadays: On the one hand these are inefficient, unreliable and badly-designed services and processes. On the other hand we witness an excessive centralization of power, wealth and influence by a few. Both of them are major roadblocks to a more prosperous world. We want to change that and we believe blockchain technology, used in the right way, has the power for that transformation.

We accelerate the growth and adoption of open, decentralized blockchain networks.

Our mission is to leverage existing blockchain networks the best we can. We do not build our own blockchain protocol, but build upon other future-proof frameworks.

Why 42?

Many times we get asked why we named our company block42. Why not 41? 43? Or 100? The answer is easy. 42 is known as the answer to life, to universe and everything. This phrase became famous in the science fiction book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
