System 9: Blockchain integrated trading algorithms. Building crypto solutions for the real world. System 9 researches, patents and develops original IP to advance the state of the overall ecosystem. Our founders, Peter Sokolow, Ryan Gray and Sam Blan have been heavily involved Bitcoin space since 2011 and have spent much of this time developing concepts for bringing blockchain technology out of the lab and into the hands of mainstream corporate and individual users. Our core suite of tools seeks to leverage the speed and flexibility of distributed ledgers to enable types of transactions that were never previously possible. In the future we see System 9 technologies being integrated into every possible payment and transaction channel across a broad range of blockchains as well as the applications that integrate them. We see a world where every transaction is not just a sale between a customer/retailer, but instead a transaction that carries a payload of possibilities taking advantage of available arbitrage or pricing discrepancies in order to most efficiently make use of these funds. This will reduce frictions on both sides of every transaction while contributing a positive feedback loop to the underlying blockchain currencies making them more stable opening up use cases that are still yet to be discovered. System 9 will focus on breaking barriers between users and those they want to transact with, eliminating middle-men that stand in the way and putting the power back where it belongs in the hands of these users in order to make a world more free, fair and just for all.
