Investor Relations in the Onchain Era

Key Takeaways

• Crypto trust eroded: token inflation, fragmented liquidity, and missing routine disclosures broke the link between rising on-chain revenue and token prices.
• Standardized, public investor reporting is existential—protocols must lead IR with regular, vetted disclosures, quarterly reports, and a central investor site.
• Blockworks IR bundles analytics, investor portals, and a command center to package standardized data, reduce redundant diligence, and present investor-ready narratives.
• An automated Blockworks agent will compress research, data, and media into real-time dashboards and investor streams, lowering IR costs and improving timeliness.
• Redesign IR to be proactive and engaging: measure success by token-holder growth, host live events, use social media and diverse voices beyond sell-side analysts.
• Leverage on-chain transparency to tell compelling investor stories, identify mismatches between claimed behavior and holdings, and onboard capital with lower overhead.
