Tell Me More

Launched in December 2017, Block0 is an IT company dedicated to blockchains and decentralized technologies.

We conduct in-house research to improve supply chain traceability and transparency, and especially the communication of this traceability to consumers, in order to improve the reputation of companies promoting their green, sustainability and ethical policies.

In addition to our research, we offer a wide range of services to companies, from consulting to full project management. We also share our experience through courses and coaching provided to companies and IT students.

Advising & Consulting

We help organizations leverage the benefits of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. We deliver advising and consulting services as part of outsourced work, or in support during short and long term onsite missions.

Prototyping

The transition of existing systems towards more decentralization is a process that needs to be seriously evaluated both in terms of technical and business feasibility. We build prototypes to help our clients verify this feasibility and validate their hypotheses.

The scope of our prototypes and proofs of concept can include development of blockchain specific features, as well as back-end and front-end interfaces (web or mobile applications). It can also be limited to pure analysis.

End-to-end Projects

We partner with our clients, from project inception to delivery, to help them realize their decentralized product vision. We can handle the entire product development, alone or in collaboration with other teams. We can also limit our intervention to cutting-edge components that implement decentralized technologies.

In both cases, we ensure the highest standards in terms of security, confidentiality and agility.

Training

We deliver standard or customized courses to help your organization build blockchain skills. The duration can range from a few hours to several days and can target both technical and business profiles.

Memberships & Partnerships

Based in Belgium, in the Walloon region, we are very active in research and development, with numerous prototypes developed since early 2018 (both internally and for our clients).

We are particularly keen to enhance and promote decentralized technologies in our region: we want Wallonia to be at the cutting edge! To this end, we are co-founders of the WalChain group, which includes almost all companies and freelancers operating in the Walloon blockchain ecosystem.

We are also members of the Alastria association, based in Spain, which manages several blockchains for business and academic projects. Alastria is a major player in the EBSI development (the European blockchain services infrastructure). We have been hosting a node for the decentralized Alastria network since early 2020.

We are also very close to France, and excited about the new Tezos upgradeable blockchain, developed by Nomadic Labs. Since September 2021, we are officially the first Belgian corporate baker for the Tezos network, whose ethics are close to ours in terms of ecology (Tezos uses an energy-efficient algorithm based on the proof of stake).

And last but not least, we are members of multiple innovation programs, both European (Blockchers, BlockIS, TruBlo) and Belgian (Wagralim, Digital Attraxion, ...)
