Former Consortium and Association Members

 The Consortium of bloxberg | 2019 – 2022

The bloxberg consortium was initiated in February 2019 by the Max Planck Society (MPG) in collaboration with leading research institutions to explore the use of blockchain technology in science. It aimed to provide a decentralized, secure, and transparent infrastructure for researchers, enabling time-stamping, verification, and protection of research data using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Governance was distributed among participating institutions, for collective decision-making and network maintenance. As bloxberg grew, the need for a structured legal framework became evident, leading to its transition into a formal association in 2022.

The Association of bloxberg | 2022 – 2024 

To ensure a more structured governance model, the bloxberg Association for the Advancement of Science and Blockchain e.V. was established in 2022, introducing a legal entity for accountability, structured membership, and formalized voting. However, due to differences over sustainable financing, a consensual decision was made in October 2024 to dissolve the association. Instead of forking the blockchain, governance fully reverted to the Max Planck Society, ensuring its continued mission in collaboration with research institutions.

Global research organizations played a key role in governing the bloxberg blockchain.
