Dankest is a team of long-time builders that has been building and maintaining token infrastructure since the very beginning.
Dankest is a blockchain product studio. For over a decade we've designed, built, and maintained the tools that the token community relies on every day — and we're still building.
Our work spans wallets, explorers, protocols, and platforms — Freewallet, Tokenscan, the Dogeparty reboot, BTNS, and our flagship, the open-source XChain Platform. XChain is the largest thing we've built, but it's one of many.
We've been building on tokens since the very beginning. Before “NFT” was a word, we were putting images on tokens in 2014 — Rare Pepe science included — asking the question we still ask today: what else can we make this do?
Between us, we've maintained Counterparty for the better part of a decade, written Freewallet, run Tokenscan (the explorer most of the community uses), and rebooted Dogeparty and kept it alive for years. We've been through every cycle — the manias and the long quiet winters — and we kept building through all of it.
One continuous thread: experimentation on tokens.
Putting images on tokens before “NFT” existed, and exploring what tokens could do — Rare Pepe science and the first wave of token culture.
Years maintaining Counterparty and building the infrastructure the community runs on: Freewallet, Tokenscan, and the original XChain explorer.
We rebooted Dogeparty and have kept it running for years — proof that this infrastructure is meant to last.
BTNS — the Broadcast Token Naming System — became our playground for pushing token functionality further than the existing tools allowed.
Dankest designs, builds, and maintains blockchain products — with the open-source XChain Platform as our flagship, and more on the way.
Dankest builds and maintains blockchain products of our own, and we steward open-source protocols the whole community can build on. Some are tools people use every day; others are experiments pushing at what tokens can do.
Our flagship is the open-source XChain Platform, a multi-chain token platform — but it sits alongside the wallets, explorers, and protocols we've shipped over the past decade, with more on the way.
Four people pairing a decade in the trenches of crypto's tokens with the business experience to build a company around it.
Rare Pepe scientist and long-time Counterparty lead maintainer. Wrote Freewallet, runs Tokenscan, and rebooted Dogeparty. Registered XChain over a decade ago — and finally got to build the platform the name always promised.
Around a decade building on Counterparty, and co-founder of the Dogeparty reboot. Loves blockchain, Bitcoin, and experimenting — building from Spain. The other half of the technical team behind the XChain Platform.
A finance veteran with a long track record of building and growing companies large and small. A New Jersey native, based in California for the last 30 years.
Five years in the blockchain space and a member of the Dogeparty Foundation. Has run several crypto and NFT projects, with a passion for finance and decentralized technology.
Dankest, LLC is the company behind the XChain Platform. We steward the open-source protocol, hold its intellectual property, and offer commercial licensing for anyone who wants to run the XChain platform commercially. We build our own projects on top of it, too — with more on the way.
