We just sent the SEC our comment letter on Regulation Crypto Assets.
Our goal is to give every token one current, public record to make onchain compliance cheaper and faster.
Our asks:
1) Let projects file disclosures through Qualified Onchain Disclosure Agents
2) Let third parties file on behalf of projects
It's time we protect investors so we can protect this industry.

Blockworks is asking the SEC to require token projects to disclose token loans, market-maker agreements and payments to influencers under the agency's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, according to the company's description of its comment letter.

Huge. Blockworks is doing it right here.
This might sound boring to most of you onchain degens, but it could end up being one of the most important initiatives happening in crypto right now.
Blockworks is building SEC-aligned disclosure standards for tokens. and that single thing could improve the investability of this entire industry by orders of magnitude.
this is exactly what institutional allocators want to see before they bring their tens of trillions onchain. no serious capital shows up without proper disclosure, compliance and trust.
it's that simple.
while everyone else chases the next pump, @JasonYanowitz, @MikeIppolito_ and the Blockworks team are quietly building the infrastructure that actually unlocks exactly that.
it's this kind of trust building that will make them the Bloomberg of crypto over time.
if you genuinely care about where this industry is going, support this and spread the word.
TTFs for the win.

You’ve seen Blockworks data everywhere.
Now you can build with it.
Introducing the Blockworks Unified API: market data, protocol financials, research and more.
Plug in one API key and you're set.
Yano 🟪 retweeted
the new unified API brings together years of work from two of the biggest crypto data companies: @Blockworks and Messari. breadth and depth, all in one place
no more parsing multiple events just to get a simple metric. no more using five data vendors to get the same metric across different protocols
this is probably the biggest project i’ve worked on since joining Blockworks, and i can assure you it’s the best… so far 👀
THE. WORK. CONTINUES.

NEW: Introducing Agentic Detection, asset monitoring built for the AI era.
Following our acquisition of Messari, we are excited to release our first major product expansion.
Agentic Detection brings real-time alerts to Blockworks Monitoring without waiting for analyst review. Teams get broader coverage of the assets they follow, with findings in seconds instead of minutes.

Mike and I launched Blockworks in dec 2017.
Started as an events company, rode the market down for 2.5 years, then emerged from the bear with a ripping media business.
Then everyone gets over levered. Market turns. We adjust in the bear and emerge with a research platform and the inklings of a data business. Bull gets crazy, business grows massively. Then bear again.
This has been our third bear market. We made tough decisions the last two years (cut news, etc) all with the goal of emerging with a generational business that we’d be stoked to build for decades to come.
We hired the absolute best people we could find across the entire industry. Went all in on data. Acquired Messari. And built products for enterprises, fintechs, and financial institutions.
And now we’re emerging. We’re not out of the woods yet but the light is clear. And damn do I feel good about the position that Blockworks is in.
Never been a better time to build in crypto. Onwards!

The TTF filing process just got 10x simpler and it’s available to all issuers for free
Prior to this, the process was entirely manual and extremely painful for token issuers. Expect filings to accelerate from here
