Partisia Blockchain unveils a new brand

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.

Kurt Nielsen, President and Co-Founder of Partisia Blockchain, says:

“Our new logo is more than just an emblem. It is a statement of our unwavering dedication to human-centered innovation. In a world of intricate technological concepts, our logo reminds us that our ultimate goal is to serve and empower people through our cutting-edge solutions. It is a symbol that encapsulates our mission and values, embodying the profound connection between technology and humanity. The new logo not only reflects the evolution of Partisia Blockchain but also underlines our commitment to transparency, accessibility, and innovation, placing people at the forefront of our brand identity.”

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.

David Nurse, Managing Director at Big+Bold, says:

“Partisia Blockchain’s unique solution for preserving privacy sets it apart in the world of Web3 organizations. As a fourth generation blockchain harnessing groundbreaking secure multiparty computation (MPC) technology, the brand must effectively communicate its exceptional features, including innovation, interoperability, and scalability. Our overarching goal was to future proof Partisia Blockchain’s brand, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with its core mission and is fully equipped to lead the way into the future.”

Partisia Blockchain extends an open invitation to developers, enterprise users, and the broader community to explore our expanding ecosystem and experience firsthand the transformative potential of MPC technology.

Conference circuit of October

Let’s dive into a whirlwind of exciting events that took place this month:

CV Summit — A networking experience

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.

EthMilan — Embracing Web3

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.

D3 Bahamas — Shirly shines

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.

Web3 MeshMeet in Dubai — Bridging crypto minds

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!

NexTech — Meeting the Cardano community

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.

European Blockchain Convention — Shaping the 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.

Q3 AMA

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.

Conference thoughts: Part 4

Conference thoughts: Part 4

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.

EthMilan

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!
