Blockstack Stacks (STX) becomes first SEC-qualified token offering

The Stacks (STX) token offering will officially open on Thursday, July 11th at 11:00 a.m. EST...

Blockstack Stx

Blockstack, creators of the decentralized computing network and secure app ecosystem, is officially the first company in U.S. history to receive SEC qualification for its digital token offering. Under the SEC Regulation A+ framework, Blockstack will conduct a $28 million cash offer that is accessible to all.

Working closely with regulators, Blockstack has centered its efforts on compliance and focused on advancing a legal framework that could set a precedent for blockchain protocols to execute SEC-qualified token offerings.

Proceeds from such offerings are typically used to accelerate the development of a project’s ecosystem; however, a cloudy legal climate, scams and schemes, and general mistrust have impeded industry acceleration. Blockstack’s model aims to alleviate these issues, and until today, no project has met the SEC’s requirements for a Regulation A+ offering to the general public.

“It is a truly groundbreaking day for decentralized technology and, by extension, digital rights. Almost every day, there are reports of corporations controlling and selling user data on a massive scale, with no regard for providing and protecting fundamental digital rights. Against this backdrop, regulation has been the number one topic of conversation and concern for decentralized technology since the birth of token offerings, and we are honored to advance this all-important sector as we work toward a future where violations of user trust are not simply admonished, but impossible. By inviting everyone, not just accredited investors, to contribute to Blockstack, we can effectively drive the long-term growth of our vision to build a decentralized computing network that will replace the current, siloed version of the internet with one that is open, fair, and user-controlled.”
– Muneeb Ali, CEO of Blockstack PBC

The token offering aims to fuel the growth and improvement of the Blockstack decentralized network, and provide incentives for regular users, investors, and developers to promote a safe, private, and fast next-generation computing network. The tokens, called Stacks (STX), may be used, amongst other things, to register digital assets like domain names, inscribe and enact smart contracts, and process transaction fees.

Blockstack’s decentralized computing network lets developers build secure, privacy-focused applications. The Blockstack framework already supports more than 160 decentralized applications, including solutions for blogging, fundraising, and creative collaboration.

Apps

Blockstack’s app store includes decentralized services including:

  • Dmail, a secure, encrypted email solution with no corporate intermediaries
  • BitPatron, a censorship-resistant membership platform
  • Graphite Docs, a decentralized document management service protecting freedom of speech and privacy for jeopardized groups, like reporters

As part of the offering, an additional $12 million in tokens will be allocated to Blockstack’s App Mining Program, which rewards the developers who create the top-ranked applications within the Blockstack ecosystem.

Blockstack software is open source, with a 7,000-strong community. The company is supported by more than $50M in investment from investors including Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, Lux Capital, and Naval Ravikant.
