LEAP
The world's first publication to track and contextualize blockchain innovation ecosystems across emerging market regions.
ABOUT THE REPORT
"Blockchain has the potential to help developing nations leapfrog more developed economies."
Vinay Gupta, Rob Knight (Harvard Business Review)
We started this project out of curiosity to see how entrepreneurs in emerging markets are recreating the leapfrog effect to bypass poor infrastructure with disruptive blockchain applications. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find a trusted source to view information about what they were working on.
So, we got to work. We researched initiatives around the world with the goal of contributing those results to the community.
What we found inspired us.
