Taiwan-based, trusted independent media dedicated to Web3 education since 2017. 

Blocktrend has played a vital role in enhancing the Taiwanese community's comprehension of crypto since 2017. Through our original content, podcasts, and reader gathering, we have successfully simplified intricate blockchain concepts and fostered increased participation in Web3.

Despite being a subscription-based media platform, Blocktrend has chosen to make half of our content accessible to the public without any paywall. Additionally, all our podcast episodes are freely available and consistently rank at the top of Taiwan's Web3 podcast.

Within Taiwan's crypto community, Blocktrend is recognized as a prominent advocate for advancing the Web3 public goods funding mechanism. We actively engage in promoting community participation in Gitcoin Grants, RetroPGF and Hypercerts. 

Starting in 2023, we are embarking on a bold experiment to transform Blocktrend's business model. We plan to gradually dismantle the subscription-based model that relies on reader payments, removing the paywall from our content and transitioning Blocktrend into a fully open-access subscription-based media platform. This shift will involve relying on public goods funding to sustain our media operations.

This change is aimed at sharing our content more broadly, allowing a wider audience to freely access and benefit from Blocktrend's information. Simultaneously, we expect that through the public goods funding mechanism, we can engage the community and supporters actively, ensuring the sustainable development of our media.
