About the Team

At Fireblocks, our team owns the assets domain, which stands as one of the fundamental pillars of our platform. Assets are integral to nearly every operation and product within our platform. Our mission is to elevate asset management by refining our systems to ensure assets are modeled, represented, presented, and interacted with in the most optimal manner possible.
