# Block Street

> Unified liquidity layer for on-chain capital markets

Block Street is a company building infrastructure for tokenized asset trading and lending. It connects issuers, liquidity providers, and applications through its Aqua and Everst protocols, serving institutional and retail users of tokenized equities.

Block Street is a company that builds infrastructure connecting fragmented tokenized asset markets across chains and issuers. Its products let institutional and retail participants trade tokenized equities, borrow against them, and route liquidity between protocols rather than relying on a single isolated venue. The company positions itself as neutral infrastructure rather than an exchange or issuer, aiming to unify liquidity behind the applications built on top of it.

The core mechanism pairs off-chain broker-dealer networks with on-chain liquidity pools, using request-for-quote based price discovery and cross-chain settlement to reduce spread and fragmentation across supported networks. This hybrid routing approach addresses the problem of tokenized assets being spread thinly across separate issuers and venues, each with its own liquidity pool.

Its product lineup centers on Aqua, a cross-protocol liquidity network for tokenized stocks and real-world assets, alongside Everst, a leverage and borrowing protocol for tokenized equities, a bridge for cross-chain asset transfer, and a staking program tied to protocol governance. It is used by institutional trading desks, yield-seeking DeFi participants, and portfolio managers accessing tokenized markets across multiple blockchains.

## Products

- [Everst](https://thegrid.id/profiles/block_street): Everst is a decentralized lending protocol for tokenized equities that lets users borrow, short, and hedge against tokenized stock collateral. It combines a dual-oracle price feed, drawing on Chainlink and Pyth, with hybrid liquidation routing that resolves undercollateralized positions through on-chain auctions or off-chain broker venues to limit slippage during volatile equity markets. The protocol operates across multiple blockchain networks and is aimed at users seeking leveraged exposure to tokenized equities. (Decentralised Borrowing & Lending, Live)
- [Aqua](https://thegrid.id/profiles/block_street): Aqua is a trading terminal providing RFQ-based execution for tokenized equities, where market makers submit cryptographically signed quotes verified on-chain through EIP-712. The system reduces information leakage by running maker competition off-chain before settlement, enabling institutional-style execution for tokenized stocks. It operates across multiple blockchain networks and is the flagship product of Block Street. (Trading Terminal, Live, Main Product)
- [Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/block_street): Bridge is a cross-chain asset transfer tool operated by Block Street that moves tokenized assets and liquidity between supported blockchain networks. It is accessed at its own dedicated application separate from the platform's trading and lending surfaces, allowing users to move assets independently of the other products. The tool underpins the unified liquidity pool that Block Street's other products draw on across chains. (Bridge, Live)
- [BlockStreet Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/block_street): BlockStreet Staking is a token staking program in which holders lock BSB tokens across defined epochs to earn rewards and gain voting weight in platform governance proposals. The program tracks staked positions, calculates rewards and annual percentage rates based on staking weight, and gives participants a role in proposal voting. It is documented as a distinct offering from Block Street's lending and trading products, with its own operational rules and safety mechanisms. (Staking & Validation Services, Live)

## Assets

- [BlockStreet (BSB)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/block_street): BSB is the utility and governance token of the BlockStreet ecosystem. Holders use it for governance voting, fee reductions and membership tiers, collateral against tokenized assets, and staking for rewards across BlockStreet's infrastructure. Its fixed supply of one billion tokens launched with an initial circulating share of 20.775 percent at token generation. (Utility)
