Independent Perspective Since 2017

Blocktrend (區塊勢) is Taiwan's leading independent blockchain media platform, delivering original, accessible insights into Web3 concepts and applications since 2017. With a commitment to deep analysis rather than market speculation, Blocktrend has established itself as a trusted voice in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.

Community Recognition and Impact

Blocktrend has earned recognition from authoritative sources within the Ethereum ecosystem. Geodework, a regional organization spun off from the Ethereum Foundation, recently included Blocktrend in their "Taiwan Ethereum Ecosystem Overview" as a representative content creator. Unlike popularity-focused listings, Geodework's recognition is based on genuine community contributions and internal ecosystem validation—what Vitalik Buterin describes as "legitimacy," the scarcest resource in the space.

As noted in the report: "區塊勢 Blocktrend: One of the best crypto media outlets that often covers developments in the Ethereum ecosystem. Founder 許明恩 (Astro Hsu) began his journey as an Ethereum miner and has contributed to the Taipei Ethereum Meetup Facebook page."

Distinctive Content Approach

What sets Blocktrend apart is its complementary role in the blockchain media landscape. While news outlets fulfill the need for timely updates, Blocktrend provides the essential perspective and context behind these developments. Our 100% original content is created from a uniquely Taiwanese viewpoint, taking into account Taiwan's distinct political, economic, and technological ecosystem.

Reader-Driven Focus

As a reader-supported subscription platform, Blocktrend answers directly to its community's needs and interests. What makes our audience globally unique is their distinct focus on substantive industry developments and decentralization mechanisms rather than price speculation and trading advice.

This remarkable community didn't form by chance—it's the result of Blocktrend's consistent editorial direction since 2017, which has naturally attracted and retained readers who value depth over hype. The composition of our subscriber base itself validates our approach: to understand what Blocktrend covers, look at who chooses to subscribe.

Our community particularly values:
