About

Guardtime has been active in the research and development of blockchain protocols and applications for over 10 years. We have built and deployed enterprise applications of blockchain technology that are used in production by some of the most demanding clients on earth.

We are one of the leading contributors to Alphabill, a public chain that  enables tokens to minted on-chain and subsequently used in the real-world, off-chain and even offline.

Our thesis is that over the next decade, every physical, digital and financial asset will be tokenized. The real world, however, is not "on-chain" and the role of blockchain will simply be as a censorship resistant machine for the creation of tokens, which can be verified and acted upon with zero trust assumptions off-chain in the real world.
