    Company type

    Chain partners with financial institutions to build and deploy blockchain networks that enable programmatic transfer of digital assets.

    Overview

    Chain was one of the first blockchain-as-a-service companies building permissioned blockchains for various Fortune 500 companies such as Nasdaq. Chain was backed by industry giants like Visa and Citibank. The Chain team was acquired by Stellar to form Interstellar in September 2018. The Chain Intellectual Property was then acquired by our founding team to launch a new mission of bringing assets onto the blockchain powered by a decentralized digital currency called Chain Tokens.
