What is BlockShop DC?
Located in the heart of Washington D.C., within walking distance of U.S. government agencies, multilateral institutions, and global nonprofits
BlockShop DC provides the perfect space to work on, discuss, and plan concrete applications of blockchain technology, focusing on products, not promises
Monthly events – BlockShop organizes and hosts monthly events with leaders from Wall Street, venture capital, the technology community, and government. Our events focus exclusively on concrete applications of blockchain solutions – i.e., products, not promises.
