Why we exist
Blockchain is changing how Africa moves money, proves identity and enforces agreements. We exist to make that transition legible, so the people building it, regulating it and funding it can make better decisions.
What we do
Editorial
We publish news, analysis and on-ground reporting through Mariblock Feed, Mariblock Weekly and Mariblock Briefing.
Insights
We produce research and advise institutional clients, from central banks and regulators to fintechs and investors.
Labs
We run programs that connect builders with funding, talent and technical communities.
Events
We host private forums and working sessions where policymakers, builders and investors coordinate.
Studio
We help organizations tell their story through branded content, clearly labeled and held to our editorial standards.
Operating principles
Editorial independence
We serve the public discourse, not sponsors. Commercial relationships never influence our analysis or reporting.
Original work
We report, collect data and interview stakeholders. We don’t rewrite press releases or aggregate headlines.
Africa-first
Our coverage starts on the ground. Regional context shapes every story we publish.
Shared intelligence
The ecosystem moves faster when people have the same information. We publish what we learn.
