Smith + Crown

Smith + Crown is the world's leading blockchain research organization. Since 2013 we have been studying the breadth of the public blockchain space with a focus on global trends, industry intelligence, and cryptoeconomic systems. Blockchain technology gives us the ability to design and implement both systems of governance over capital and the creation of novel economies. These represent fundamentally powerful tools - tools that have the power to tackle some of humanity's most difficult challenges. These are technologies for everyone. No one needs permission or permit - simply knowledge. With access to knowledge anyone can work to build solutions for their community, network, industry or country. Our mission is to develop the highest quality of intelligence, analysis, and education around these topics as well as tools and networks to maximize their impact. We see this as a critical part of facilitating and supporting the application of these technologies, ideas, and systems. As an organization, we spend our energy in three core areas: Research Our north star as an organization is creation of high quality research and tools to expand its impact, application, and accessibility. This can range from reports, memos and databases to research processes, intelligence networks, tools, services and entire research platforms. The vast majority of our research is published free of charge on our site and eventually through our platform.
