About the company
bloXroute is the "Flash Boys" for DeFi. It created the first and only high performance blockchain distribution network (BDN) with the best solution for Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon. The bloXroute BDN and DeFi trading tools allow its users to win at crypto trading. The BDN utilizes a global network of servers optimized for network performance. Nodes access this network through open source gateways and users can access it through the bloXroute public-API. The BDN network propagates blockchain transactions and blocks closer to the speed of light. It provides traders with the speed and reliability required for crypto transactions. bloXroute is the leader in mempool services, block streaming and anything Defi performance. The BDN also allow blockchains to scale by speeding the time it takes to communicate the current state. The BDN fast communication reduce the blocksā size and frequency limits. This is true for all consensus mechanisms, including Proof of Stake, Proof of Work, and DAGs. bloXroute was founded in 2018 in Chicago by Uri Klarman, Aleksandar Kuzmanovic and Eyal Markovich, has over 200 global customers and raised over $90M from investors like Softbank, Coinbase, Pantera, Dragonfly, Flybridge and others.
