Redefining Finance
The internet enabled the global economy. We no longer live in a society where information is geographically bound.
The free movement of information brought us the whole new possibilities and redefined the way we communicate. Blockchain technology did the same for money. The world has changed to where financial values can be transferred and exchanged globally with no friction. We truly believe that blockchain technology will challenge the status-quo and redefine the norm to improve the world.
Collective Innovation
We now live in the world where people understand what it means to be sovereign.
Bitcoin introduced a concept of individuals becoming their own bank, instead of relying on authorities. Ethereum introduced the idea that complex computation can be done in a peer-to-peer manner without a central processor. This self-sovereignty is what drives Blockchain industry, and we strive to lead this paradigm shift with companies within Peer.
In Peer, companies build, not just products, but necessary components for the whole ecosystem. We help public understand the idea of individual sovereignty and inclusive economy. We accelerate the adoption of decentralized applications through building key technologies and maturing the market. We believe that no one entity can build the whole ecosystem and that is the reason why we drive for collective innovation, which companies create synergy by building things together while remaining independent.
