Block Street is a blockchain infrastructure project focused on building a unified liquidity and execution layer for tokenized capital markets. The project’s stated aim is to aggregate fragmented liquidity for tokenized equities and related real‑world assets (RWAs) across issuers and chains, and to provide institutional‑grade execution via an off‑chain request‑for‑quote (RFQ) system paired with on‑chain settlement. Its native token, BSB, supports utility and governance functions across the ecosystem. [1] [2]
Block Street positions itself as an execution and aggregation layer designed to reduce fragmentation across tokenized equities, derivatives, and securities lending markets. The platform routes liquidity across issuers and chains through a single execution layer and API, while exposing institutional and retail access points via Aqua (institutional RFQ/execution API) and Everst (retail leverage, lending and hedging interface). The project emphasizes multichain interoperability and composability with DeFi and RWA primitives, citing support for Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base among other networks. [2] [1]
Public market pages list the BSB token across numerous centralized and decentralized venues, with the token tracked by major aggregators. CoinGecko also catalogs the token’s presence across multiple chains and Layer 2s, including Ethereum and Base, reflecting the project’s multichain footprint and exchange integrations. [3] [2]
Founders identified in public materials include CEO and co‑founder Hedy (reported as Hedy Wang in some profiles and Hedy Wong in others) and CTO and co‑founder Mike Wu. Public biographies describe Wang/Wong as having experience in quantitative strategies and risk at Apollo and Point72’s Cubist Systematic Strategies, and Wu as an engineer with distributed systems experience at Google and Cruise. This discrepancy in surname spelling appears across sources and should be reconciled with primary company disclosures. [2] [4]
Block Street’s documentation and market listings surfaced publicly in 2025, describing a plan to deliver an execution layer for tokenized equities with a Monad‑first deployment followed by expansions to Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. In October 2025, the project announced an $11.5 million round described as a strategic funding raise led by Hack VC, with participation from Generative Ventures, DWF Labs, StudioB, Bridge34, and angel investors associated with major trading firms. Press coverage of the funding emphasizes the team’s execution‑layer ambitions and institutional focus. [5] [4]
A Token Generation Event (TGE) for BSB occurred on March 4, 2026, followed by exchange listings and a points‑to‑airdrop program whose claim window reportedly ran through May 4, 2026. Public aggregator pages show active listings across multiple centralized and decentralized venues. [4] [3]
Selected timeline of notable events:
These dated milestones synthesize reporting from project documentation, exchange/education articles, and aggregator historical data. [1] [3]
Block Street’s design combines off‑chain and on‑chain components to deliver an execution layer for tokenized assets:
Public product claims include Everst testnet participation by over 700,000 wallets and Aqua’s cumulative routed volume exceeding $241 million over a June 2025 to Q1 2026 measurement window, along with reported spread compression in RFQ execution versus baseline benchmarks. As the documentation presents these as project claims, independent verification requires external analytics. [1]
The project also markets consumer‑facing access to aggregated liquidity via a retail interface under the Everst brand, while Aqua serves professional trading firms through institutional APIs including RFQ and streaming endpoints. [2] [1]
BSB is the native utility and governance token of the Block Street ecosystem.
Supply and standards:
Initial circulation and distribution:
Initial circulating supply at TGE: 20.775% (207,750,000 BSB).
Allocation (per documentation):
Utility:
Block Street outlines a progressive decentralization plan in which BSB holders assume increasing responsibility for protocol governance over time. The documentation describes token‑weighted voting on protocol parameters (e.g., fees, risk limits), listings and treasury allocations once governance is enabled, with interim control retained by the project’s governance structures prior to a full handover. Specifics such as proposal thresholds, quorum, timelocks, and governance contract addresses are not detailed in the market pages and should be consulted in the project’s governance documentation when published. [1] [4]
The project website advertises “16+ supported chains” and displays prominent brand badges without detailed explanations of the relationships; such claims warrant verification via partner announcements or technical evidence. [6]
Documentation and public materials outline a phased roadmap:
Phase 1 (Q1 2026): Scale Aqua as the default RFQ/routing layer across issuers and chains; expand institutional API access; standardize execution and settlement workflows. [1]
Phase 2 (Q2–Q3 2026): Broaden multi‑asset RWA support to include instruments such as pre‑IPO equities and private credit; begin packaging institutional yield products and refine asset‑specific risk parameters. [1]
Phase 3 (Q4 2026): Prepare compliance‑aware trading venue features for verifiable RWAs, focusing on regulated execution and settlement pathways. [1]
2027 and beyond: Expand derivatives coverage (e.g., options, structured credit), implement cross‑margin frameworks, and scale secondary liquidity solutions for long‑duration RWAs while progressing toward decentralized governance. [1]
Funding and exchange coverage also describe a Monad‑first mainnet strategy followed by expansion to Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base to maximize liquidity reach and performance characteristics suited to institutional execution. [5] [7]
