Kathryn Carlisle, Sr. Managing Director of the BCoE, recently traveled to Miami Beach for the largest Bitcoin conference in the world – BTC 2022. After several days of informative sessions, world-class conversations, and corporate events, she identified five interesting and notable startups in the emerging world of Blockchain and Crypto. Here is a recap of those five:
TMG Core – Crypto Core Immersion Mining
TMGcore is an award-winning provider of high-performance computing solutions and manufacturers of evolutionary commercial-grade hardware specializing in liquid immersion cooling technology. TMGcore is an institutionally positioned company focused on the development and commercialization of Emerging Technologies which support global Blockchain stability, growth and long-term sustainability.
RoninDojo – Cryptocurrency Nodes
RoninDojo believes in providing a private, secure way for individuals to be their own bank, without trusting third party providers, and that anyone should have the ability to use bitcoin privately, just like cash. Their decentralized team’s mission is to bring the hardware and open-source software together to enable the dream of “electronic cash”. RoninDojo was originally inspired by (and forked from) Samourai Wallet’s Dojo code. The end goal is to be able to easily deploy the hardware and software needed to have a feature rich bitcoin experience, maintain personal privacy, and enable the sovereign individual to thrive.

EarthFund.io – A DAO of DAOs
EarthFund is using decentralization to tackle humanity’s biggest problems. Self described as a “DAO of DAOs”, it is essentially an online portal for community builders to launch tokens with the goal of crowdfunding solutions for societal problems. A DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization – akin to a digital cooperative with a shared bank account. All of the community members (or tokenholders) have a stake of ownership and voice to create proposals that the other community members vote on using their respective DAO tokens. Funds are transparently distributed through smart contracts, coded to automatically act after the decision making process is complete. Earthfund.io has over 200 pending projects from carbon removal credits to Deepak Chopra’s token for mental health and well being.
Passport Wallet from Foundation Devices – Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet
The Passport wallet is the next generation hardware wallet – airgapped security, fully open source, assembled in the USA. Foundation first launched in May of 2020 with the goal of making Bitcoin and decentralized technologies accessible to each and every individual in order to build a new era of sovereignty, ownership, and privacy. Their aim is to build a different kind of hardware company with an emphasis on open source and local manufacturing. Since then they have shipped the first 1000 devices, raised funds from investors, and built a strong team. The Foundation team believes that if they can lower the barrier to becoming a sovereign individual, we believe that more and more people will reclaim their freedom.
