ZUG, 8 NOVEMBER 2023. Partisia Blockchain, a trailblazer in the world of blockchain technology, has embarked on a transformative rebranding journey, fortifying its visual identity, logo and refreshing its website. This strategic initiative, a collaborative endeavor with the renowned Irish creative studio Big+Bold, was undertaken to solidify Partisia Blockchain for its upcoming launch and the establishment of pivotal partnerships, marking a seismic shift in the demand of blockchain technology for enterprise, institutions, and government entities.
The meticulous brand reappraisal has positioned Partisia Blockchain as the eminent destination for privacy-conscious organizations, poised to have a profound and enduring impact on the domains of enterprise blockchain and individual privacy.
The Partisia Blockchain website has undergone a transformation, signaling the imminent introduction of new features, the on-chain launch of projects, the diversification of our community, and a warm welcome to institutional users who are preparing to embrace the blockchain.
In an era of groundbreaking computational concepts, Partisia Blockchain’s new logo reaffirms our commitment to people-centric innovation, emphasizing the human dimension in our technological pursuits. This visual symbol serves as a beacon, guiding our path toward building solutions that resonate with and empower individuals at the core of our mission.

It is a symbol that encapsulates our mission and values, embodying the profound connection between technology and humanity.

This refreshed brand identity serves to reinforce Partisia Blockchain’s unique position as an organization that prioritizes real-world adoption through practical use cases, empowering value creation through the twin principles of privacy protection and transparency.
Bakyt Azimkanov, Head of Communications at Partisia Blockchain, says:
“Our collaboration with Big+Bold has been an endeavor of mutual benefit, culminating in a comprehensive brand reappraisal that positions us seamlessly for our upcoming expansion and the anticipated surge in adoption. The significance of branding cannot be overemphasized; it is the linchpin for driving value and attracting institutional players to our ecosystem. We believe that our reimagined brand positioning will resonate across a diverse spectrum of users seeking privacy solutions, including government and public sector entities, healthcare and pharmaceutical corporations, financial services, and beyond.”
The refreshed visual identity not only underscores our unwavering dedication to our core mission but also reaffirms our commitment to establishing a Web3 infrastructure devoid of a single point of trust, enabling the secure use of both public and private information across all platforms. This unparalleled capability is fortified by our groundbreaking multiparty computation (MPC), a technology offering unrivaled privacy protection, interoperability, and scalability.

Let’s dive into a whirlwind of exciting events that took place this month:
Our journey started at CV Summit in Zug, Switzerland, which offered a unique networking experience. This event, different from the others we have attended, saw participation from well-established organizations. It was a testament to the industry’s maturity as we witnessed a shift from asset-driven ecosystems to real-world problem-solving. As partners of CV Labs, we secured a booth and connected with potential leads in supply chain, DAOs, and NFT-based property deeds management.
Heading south to EthMilan in Lombardy, Bruce Ahn our Head of Developer Relations participated in the first major Web3 conference and joined a panel discussion on DAOs. This felt like a great Web3 conference, highlighting ZK, DAOs, DeFi projects, and the importance of privacy. It was enlightening to witness the maturation of DAOs and explore the need for privacy in the space.
Our new Head of External Relations and Partnerships, Shirly Valge, excelled on a panel discussing institutional Web3 adoption. She shared valuable insights on how large financial institutions can embrace blockchain-based technology.
Sponsored by Partisia Blockchain, the Web3 MeshMeet event in Dubai was an opportunity to connect with industry leaders and foster crypto partnerships. Thanks to all the sponsors and those who joined us!
Chief Product Officer, Mark Bundgaard, and VP of Engineering, Jesper Gravgaard, had a fantastic meetup with the Cardano community in Japan. They were excited to discuss the ADA token bridge, MPC, and Partisia Blockchain’s future.
Mathias Glintborg attended the European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona, a celebration of Web3 innovation. It was heartening to see industry experts appreciating our contributions to privacy-enhancing technologies and blockchain infrastructure. The convention featured enlightening talks on topics such as privacy, secure infrastructure, Real World Assets (RWA), digital identity, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, and interoperability.
We held another successful Quarterly AMA on 9 October 2023. The leadership team discussed the latest developments and shared exclusive insights including details on our Metamask integration. Catch the replay of our Quarterly AMA on our YouTube channel and stay tuned on our channels for the next one!
Our first dApp is launching soon on Partisia Blockchain! Blockchain Ads is the first dApp to launch on mainnet in Partisia Blockchain. Click here to learn more about them and in the coming weeks we will provide more information on how to get onboarded and be rewarded for your data.
We are also participating in multiple events this month!

There is more in store so keep up to date with announcements in our social channels.
On the project front, we announced DelNorte that is working with multiple governments in Latin America and is now building on Partisia Blockchain. Learn more about them here on our Medium article and a video interview with the founder
The month of November is an important date for Partisia Blockchain Ambassadors. After meeting all the necessary regulatory requirements, the Partisia Blockchain Foundation is now able to distribute rewards to Ambassadors for their contributions to the advancement of our mission.
A lot of foundational groundwork has also been executed that will position the Partisia Blockchain’s Ambassador Program as the most advanced in its class.
The Ambassador Program, while technically still in the private alpha stage, is intended to transition to a public beta around Q2 2024. Stay tuned for more updates.

During the month of September 2023, I will be traveling to a few conferences, and doing a few speaking engagements. As a part of the conference going, I will be providing a few thoughts on what I have seen, people and projects I have met and the changes and trends emerging in the last year or so in the industry.
From Zug, I traveled south to not only take part in the first large Web3 conference in Milan, but also the privilege to take part in a panel discussion about DAOs. This felt more like a standard Web3 conference with a lot of your usual projects. And the theme was similar, with ZK, DAOs, offramp/onramp and a few DeFi projects. And everyone I spoke with knew or heard about MPC.
The panel was about DAO governance, where we discussed a range of topics including leadership, legal frameworks and of course, the need for privacy. It was enlightening to hear about how DAO’s were maturing. I was honored to be included in quite a list of distinguished panelists, with lawyers, researchers and the BD from MIDAO (Marshall Island DAO).
I also got a chance to meet with one of our projects building on our chain, MetaNames. They are building a naming service on our chain, allowing for the name to support all BYOC assets and not just MPC. With them very close to launching in mainnet, it was the perfect time to discuss next steps.
This wrapped up my conference tours for the month of September. It will be good to get back to my desk and begin exploring the leads we were able to find and also get back to actually getting some work done!
