About MNblockchain

Building community and industry in blockchain & web3 — driving education and policy across Minnesota.

Our Mission

A Hub for Blockchain in Minnesota

To make Minnesota a leading hub for blockchain innovation and adoption through education, community, and collaboration.

MNblockchain exists to build community and industry around blockchain and web3 technologies in Minnesota — through free monthly events, flagship gatherings, education, and policy advocacy with state and federal lawmakers.

Minnesota is unlike any other state — a high per-capita number of Fortune 500 companies, globally respected institutions in education, finance, and medicine, and a vibrant arts and culture community make it a prime location for nurturing the blockchain industry.
