Melrose PR review: ten years in crypto, no price list, and a wire that does the talking

Melrose PR is the oldest crypto PR shop we have reviewed and the one with the longest paper trail: a founder named on its own pages since 2013, a blockchain client on its homepage since February 2017, a place at No. 1,574 on Inc.’s 2024 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies that we confirmed in Inc.’s own list data, and four testimonials from named executives, two of them at companies whose press releases also run on the agency’s sister newswire. It is also an agency whose entire website is one page plus a privacy policy “last updated on March 9th, 2017”; that publishes no price, no terms and no company name; that removed its team section in June 2026 after eighteen months of shrinkage; whose original California company is terminated and whose live company is a 2025 Wyoming LLC registered at its agent’s suite, the address LinkedIn presents as headquarters; and that, after fourteen years, has not one review on Clutch, GoodFirms or Trustpilot. Our score is 6/10.

We read melrosepr.com on 13 October 2026 (the homepage and the privacy policy are the whole site; the sitemap lists nothing else), archived copies of the homepage from every year since 2012 and six from 2026 alone, the agency’s own blog, team, careers and intake pages from 2013 to 2020, the Bitwire newswire’s pricing, terms, guidelines, partner terms and 182-release feed, the Wyoming and California company registers, Inc.’s 2024 list data, Apple Podcasts, and the agency’s and founder’s profiles on LinkedIn, X, Clutch and GoodFirms. Every figure below comes from one of those pages, and we say which.

Who is behind Melrose PR

Kelley Weaver, and she has never been hidden. A November 2013 post on the agency’s own blog announced that “Melrose PR co-founders Kelley Coughlan and Jenn Deese” would pitch their handbag product, pursecase, on ABC’s Shark Tank on 22 November 2013; the 2015 about page names “Kelley Weaver, Owner, Melrose PR”, “A USC grad from Annenberg” who “after working at various PR firms for over 5 years… formed her own boutique lifestyle firm Melrose PR, based in Santa Monica”, and no second founder. From 2017 the team page lists her as “Founder & CEO”, and her X bio today reads “CEO of @MelrosePR, Founder of @BitwireFeed & Host of @proofofpr. Happy wife & mom of 3… long #Bitcoin since 2016”, location Jackson, WY, account opened April 2009. On a law firm’s podcast in May 2025 she told the story herself: “I founded Melrose PR 13 years ago and as more of a consumer facing PR firm and got bit by the Bitcoin bug. In 2016 we got a client… Two years prior to that we had done PR for this Bitcoin ATM in L.A. and it completely flew over my head.” The 2016 client was Gem, “this awesome team out of Venice, California”.

The early advisers are worth a line because one of them explains a logo. The February 2017 “Meet Melrose” page lists two advisers, Jerome Helton and Konstantin Richter; Richter is the founder of Blockdaemon, and Blockdaemon has sat on every Melrose client wall from 2022 to today, the only logo on the current wall with no link behind it. The 2018 team page names ten staff and both advisers; among the ten are Nikki Brown, then “Senior Content Strategist”, and Kili Wall, then an account executive, who by January 2025 were chief strategy officer and chief operations officer respectively. Both have since left the Melrose list; Kili appears today on Bitwire’s about page under “Business Development”.

Two companies carry the name. OpenCorporates’ copy of the California register shows MELROSE PR, LLC, company number 201202610097 (California numbers begin with the filing year), registered at 712 San Lorenzo Street, Santa Monica, status “Terminated”, with two inactive officers. The Wyoming register shows Melrose PR, LLC, company number 2025-001744592, status “Active”, at “125 S King Street, Suite 2A, Jackson, WY”, agent “Company Agent, LLC” at the same suite. LinkedIn gives that suite as the company’s primary location and “Jackson, Wyoming” as headquarters; the founder’s LinkedIn and X both say Jackson; her August 2026 post called the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium “right here in my backyard in Jackson Hole”. The website, meanwhile, never names a company, prints “© 2025 Melrose PR” and “Made with 🧡 in California”, and gives a single contact, hello@melrosepr.com, with no phone and no form. Bitwire LLC, the wire’s operator, is a Delaware company whose “Principal Business Address” in its terms is a suite with a PMB number on West Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Fourteen years of homepages

Because the site is a single page, the archive is the only place its history lives, and it is unusually complete. Each line below is what the homepage said in that year’s capture.

• January 2012: “Website Coming Soon! Stay Tuned”, three months after the domain was registered.
• 2014: “A Boutique Lifestyle PR Firm… specializing in new media and traditional PR”, 710 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica. The 2015 about page narrowed that to “the travel, restaurant and hospitality industries”; January 2016 widened it to “giftable consumer products and lifestyle brands”.
• February 2017: “A Full-Service Tech PR Agency” with a “Blockchain Tech” page that said “We work alongside the preeminent leader in Blockchain health, Gem”, a new office at 604 Arizona Ave, and a Forbes link via the Young Entrepreneur Council.
• October 2018: “We are die-hard blockchain and cryptocurrency believers… Founded in 2012”, clients SingularityNET, Lympo, YouGov Direct, Loci, RightMesh and RepuX, and a service menu that included “Sponsored content in relevant outlets”, community management with “up to 24/7 coverage of social media channels” and “ICO calendar submissions”. The January 2019 intake form asked prospects to choose between “BLOCKCHAIN PROJECT” and “ICO PROJECT”.
• January 2022: “a blockchain and cryptocurrency-focused communications agency located in the heart of Silicon Beach”, logos for Blockdaemon, Coinmama, ETC Labs, Fold, Terra, Wave Financial and Civic. Terra left the wall by the next capture.
• January 2024: “established in 2012 and has been working exclusively with clients in blockchain since 2016”, a wall of some twenty logos including Chainlink, BitGo, Skale, Moonbeam, Mina, Gnosis Builders, CipherTrace, Amboss and Swan.
• January 2025: a new site, “An Onchain Communications Firm”, twelve named staff, and “since 2016, we have focused exclusively on this innovative industry”.
• June 2026: team section removed, “AI Visibility” added to the services. October 2026: “A Frontier Tech Communications Firm. Digital assets. Energy. AI.”

So the “since 2016” line that the site and LinkedIn use today is accurate as a description of when the first blockchain client arrived, and the 2018 page shows the agency was all-in by then. What the line leaves out is the four years of handbags and restaurants before it, and the 2026 pivot that now puts “Energy” and “AI” on the masthead: in June 2026 the founder announced “the National Center for Energy Analytics, our first major energy client”, adding that “we’re not stepping back from bitcoin, digital assets, or AI at all”.

What Melrose PR sells

Five headings, each with one sentence under it: “Strategy — Refine your narrative to support your business goals”; “Thought Leadership — Build the profiles of your team’s leaders”; “Press Relations — Work our relationship magic to garner the coverage your project deserves”; “Content — Craft compelling content that meets your target audience where they’re at”; and, since June 2026, “AI Visibility — Your next [client, investor, journalist] isn’t just Googling you; they’re asking AI. We build the media record to make sure you’re part of the answer.” The promise paragraph says “we’re here to get you tier-1 press coverage” and that the real goal is “to make you feel seen and understood”. There is no paid media, no influencer roster, no community management, no token-launch or exchange-listing service, and no sponsored content, which makes the 2026 menu narrower than the 2018 one. That is an earned-media shop in the strict sense; if you also need traffic, you buy it elsewhere, which is what the comparison section below is for.

Two things orbit the agency. The first is the podcast, now called Proof-of-PR, whose Apple Podcasts feed began life in 2018 as Crypto Token Talk, “hosted by Kelley Weaver, CEO of Melrose PR”, and lists a hundred episodes; the homepage embeds four seasons, and the guests include the heads of two competing agencies, Coinbound’s Ty Smith (season two) and YAP Global’s Samantha Yap (season three), plus an episode “ft. Alex Gil & Eunice Hwangbo”, the two vice presidents on the last team list. The second is Bitwire, which launched on 4 September 2025 “following an initial referral-only rollout”. Its features page says “Utilize our sister PR team to write a professional, non-AI generated announcement” and links to melrosepr.com; its launch release quotes “Kelley Weaver, Founder of Bitwire and CEO of Melrose PR”. For an advertiser the practical reading is that Melrose has a house wire with fixed prices, and that the wire’s feed is the best public record of who the agency works for.

Pricing in 2026

Nothing. The homepage, the privacy policy and the 2026 LinkedIn and X profiles contain no retainer, no project minimum, no hourly rate and no package. The two directory profiles carry bands that disagree with each other: Clutch lists “Min project size $10,000+” and “Hourly rate $100 – $149 / hr”, GoodFirms “< $25 /hr”, and neither is attributed to the agency. Treat the Clutch band as the better guide only because it matches what every other earned-media agency in this series charges; MarketAcross carries the same “$10,000+” floor on the same directory, and Coinbound says its retainers “typically start around $10,000 per month”.

Bitwire is where the group prints numbers. Its homepage promises “transparent pricing starting at $300”, and the pricing page lists these packages, each a single release.

Bitwire package	Price per release	Outlets shown	Pitch
Alpha Lite	$300	Benzinga, Investing.com	“Your gateway into finance media”
Base	$400	AP newsroom hub (30 days), StreetInsider	“Credibility and SEO value”
DeFi	$450	The Defiant, CoinMarketCap	“Your gateway to crypto audiences”
Bitcoin	$750	Bitcoin Magazine, Cointelegraph	“Bitcoin ecosystem only announcements”
Alpha	$2,500	Benzinga, Fortune, Investing.com, Reuters	“Reach investors and business audiences”
Crypto Lite (“best seller”)	$2,500	The Block, The Defiant, CoinMarketCap	“Core crypto coverage”
Premium Alpha	$2,750	AP, StreetInsider, Benzinga, Fortune, Investing.com, Reuters	“Move Markets with T1 business outlets”
Crypto	$4,000	BeInCrypto, The Block, The Defiant, CoinMarketCap	“Purpose-built for Web3, crypto, and digital asset news”
Whale (“exclusive”)	$14,500	BeInCrypto, The Block, The Defiant, CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin.com, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph	“The ultimate crypto distribution across every major outlet”
CoinDesk add-on	$1,500	CoinDesk press-release section, 24 hours on the homepage	“Strategic add-on… or standalone via unique link”

Every package includes “Bitwire Publication, Google News Submission, 4-Hour Review Guarantee, Scheduled Submissions, Publication Links, Customer Support”. The publisher table beneath the packages is the useful part: it says what each placement is. CoinDesk is the press-release section with 24 hours on the homepage; The Defiant is a “Sponsored” announcement with 24 hours on the homepage; CoinMarketCap is a community “Article”; Benzinga is “Partner Content” on an author hub; AP is a newsroom hub link that lives for 30 days; Bitcoin.com gets 72 hours on the homepage. None of this is a journalist writing about you, and the pricing FAQ says so in the agency’s own words, which we quote in the terms section. For agencies, Bitwire also runs a referral scheme at “5% of the total amount spent by referred clients” for twelve months, paid monthly by PayPal or ACH, under a partners page headed “Let’s make you rich!”.

Clients and case studies, checked

The wall carries 21 logos, none with alt text, so we identified them by the links behind them and by looking at the images: Amberdata, Avalanche, Aztec, B3, Babylon, Bitcoin Conference 2025, BitGo, Blockdaemon, Centrifuge, Chainlink Labs, CoinMarketCap, FG Nexus, Fold, Glider, Pantera, Pyth, Polkadot, Sahara AI, Savea, Stocktwits and Swan. Below it sit four testimonials with names and titles: Steve Henning, CMO at Amberdata (“a trusted partner that generates results that move the needle”); Kristyna Mazankova, Head of PR at Bitcoin Conference 2024 (“outstanding mainstream media coverage for Bitcoin 2024 executives”); Jesse Shrader, CEO of Amboss Technologies (“from Bitcoin Magazine to Fortune and Bloomberg”); and Jonathan Duran, Communications & PR Manager at Distractive, which hired Melrose on Polkadot’s behalf: “within a month, they secured more coverage and media opportunities than our previous agency had in six months!”

What makes this wall more credible than most is that a second, independent-looking record overlaps with it. Bitwire’s sitemap lists 182 releases since 2025, and the slugs read like the client wall: nine for Polkadot, six for FG Nexus, four for Babylon, three each for Pyth, Casper, Acurast, Sazmining and Hyperbridge, two each for Aztec, B3, CoinMarketCap, Glider and Chainflip, and single releases for BitGo, Amberdata, Stacks and the National Center for Energy Analytics. The wire is owned by the agency, so this is not third-party confirmation, but a company does not run nine releases through an agency’s house wire without a relationship with the agency, and the Polkadot count matches the Distractive testimonial.

The “Regularly published in” strip shows ten logos (Bloomberg, CoinDesk, CNBC, Forbes, The Block, Fortune, Bitcoin Magazine, Decrypt, MarketWatch, BeInCrypto), and the page showcases four hits with dates. We opened two of them: the CNBC “Closing Bell” video of 26 July 2024 is an interview with BitGo’s CEO on crypto regulation, and the CoinDesk opinion piece of 21 May 2024 on bitcoin ETFs and institutional risk carries a BitGo byline. We did not open the Bloomberg piece of April 2024 on memecoin returns, labelled “quote”, or the Forbes piece of September 2024 on ether, labelled “op-ed”. BitGo was on the January 2024 wall and is on the current one, so the showcase is at least consistent with the client list.

What is missing is any number. There is no case-study page, no “placements secured” counter, no coverage-per-month figure, no before-and-after. The nearest thing is a June 2026 LinkedIn and X “client spotlight” for Nebula DeFi: “Two months ago, Nebula DeFi came to us… 20 press hits in 8 weeks”, naming Cointelegraph, Decrypt, Bankless Times, Yahoo Finance, The Defiant, CCN and Bitcoin News. That is the agency’s own count and we did not verify it. The team photo on the page is a real team photo, thirteen people in matching black T-shirts in front of a white Spanish-style building, and the other images are a rooftop billboard reading “Your dream headline awaits”, a cap embroidered “Collaboration Maxi” and a book titled “Brand Building Is A Long Game”, which is the agency’s stated philosophy in merchandise form.

Third-party reviews, and what they actually mean

There are none. Clutch: “Not yet reviewed”, with “No Clients have been added yet”. GoodFirms: “No reviews submitted yet.” Trustpilot: no profile for melrosepr.com and none for bitwire.com. We found no complaint thread about the agency on Reddit or Bitcointalk and no employee review page. For a firm that has existed since 2012 and has been crypto-only since 2018, that is a blank the agency has chosen: it has never pointed a client at a review site, and the four testimonials on its homepage are the only outside voices it offers. The other agency in this series with no paid-media product and no client reviews anywhere, Wachsman, is a far larger firm with the same blank; see our Wachsman review.

What exists instead is one independent data point and a set of follower counts. The data point is the Inc. 5000: Inc.’s 2024 list data has Melrose PR at rank 1,574, 329% three-year revenue growth, industry “Advertising & Marketing”, metro Los Angeles, with the self-description “A crypto-native PR agency dedicated to helping Bitcoin and Web3 companies achieve their goals”. Inc. ranks applicants by revenue growth from figures the companies submit, so the rank says the agency was growing fast through 2023 and was willing to show Inc. its books; it says nothing about results for clients. The agency’s Inc. profile lists only the 2024 appearance and a company size of “1-10”. The follower counts are modest for a fourteen-year-old firm: 3,956 on X (8,373 posts since November 2011), 2,751 on LinkedIn, where sixteen people list Melrose as an employer against a stated size of “2-10 employees”. Bitwire’s LinkedIn page has 177 followers and gives Jackson, Wyoming as its headquarters too.

The podcast is a soft signal in the agency’s favour. An agency that invites the CEO of Coinbound and the founder of YAP Global onto its own show is not afraid of comparison, and a hundred episodes of founder interviews is a decade of relationships with the people who become clients and the journalists who cover them. It is also, like everything else here, something the agency controls.

The terms: contract, refunds, governing law, exclusivity

The agency publishes no terms, no contract summary, no refund policy, no exclusivity statement and no governing law. The only legal page on melrosepr.com is the privacy policy, which “was last updated on March 9th, 2017”, names no company and no address, and ends “please contact us” without saying how. The 2016 site had a terms-and-conditions page; it was a generic website-use disclaimer and it is gone. Whatever a Melrose retainer says about notice periods, minimum terms or what happens when coverage does not come, you will learn from the proposal, not the website.

Bitwire’s terms, by contrast, are explicit, and they are the terms you accept if the agency distributes your release through its own wire. Updated and effective 24 July 2025, they name “Bitwire LLC, incorporated in Delaware”, and state: “Due to the nature of our news distribution services, all sales are final, and no refunds will be issued.” Under “Publication Guarantee” they say: “We do not guarantee publication by any specific media outlet. Refunds are not issued for editorial decisions by publishers. No refunds will be issued in cases where one, multiple, or all publishers choose not to publish your news release. Our service is to distribute the release to our network, not to guarantee publication.” The editorial guidelines add that “Bitwire does not take responsibility for the content posted through the wire, including the veracity and authenticity of claims”, and the ambassador terms are governed by California law.

Set that against the marketing. The Bitwire homepage sells “guaranteed placements in publications that matter”, the features page “Guaranteed placements where it matters”, the partners page “Guaranteed distribution”, and the launch release “Guaranteed high-quality links: Direct placements with backlinks from tier 1 publications”. The pricing FAQ reconciles the two in a way worth quoting in full: “Guaranteed placement means your release will be published through the publication or package you purchase, subject to Bitwire’s Editorial Guidelines and publisher requirements. It does not mean a journalist will independently write about your company.” And on refunds: “Refund eligibility depends on the specific circumstances and the terms that apply to your order.” So the guarantee is that the sponsored slot you paid for will be filled unless a publisher declines, in which case the terms say you are not refunded. This is the same shape as Chainwire’s “guaranteed coverage” and Mintfunnel’s “guaranteed pickups”, and buyers should read it the same way: a placement, not a story.

Melrose PR against the desks and networks we already track

Melrose belongs to the agency-plus-wire pattern we have now seen three times in this series: MarketAcross owns Chainwire, EAK Digital owns EAK Wire, and Melrose owns Bitwire. In each case the agency prints no price and the wire prints a full one, and in each case “guaranteed” means a paid placement rather than a story. The differences are in the numbers. Chainwire sells outlet counts, from $1,399 for eight to $10,799 for a hundred-plus, with Cointelegraph and CoinDesk as unpriced add-ons; EAK Wire sells $1,395 to $14,995 with “Binance” and “CoinMarketCap” in every tier; Bitwire sells named outlets one package at a time, so the $450 DeFi pack buys exactly The Defiant and CoinMarketCap and the $14,500 Whale buys seven named sites. That is the most honest price list of the three, because you can see what each dollar buys, and it is the only one with a $300 door.

Against the pure wires in our PR distribution comparison, Bitwire’s $300 entry sits between Mintfunnel’s $99 On-Demand release and Chainwire’s $1,399 Lite, and its $14,500 Whale is below Mintfunnel’s $21,999 Epic; none of the three publishes a refund after distribution. The wider field, including the three other agencies in this series that own a wire, is in our crypto PR agencies comparison. Against the ad networks, Melrose sells no traffic at all, so a token launch that needs both coverage and reach pairs it with a network: Cointraffic’s desk bundles a hand-managed release with display campaigns from a €1,500 PR-only deposit, and Coinzilla and Mintfunnel are where the same budget buys impressions rather than relationships.

Product	What you buy	Published price	Guarantee	Refunds	Our score
Melrose PR (agency)	Strategy, thought leadership, press relations, content, AI visibility	None; Clutch lists $10,000+ and $100–149/h	“tier-1 press coverage” as a promise, no written guarantee	Nothing published	6/10
Bitwire (wire, same CEO)	Release on 1 to 7 named outlets	$300 to $14,500 per release	Placement “subject to… publisher requirements”, not a story	“all sales are final”	—

EAK Digital (agency) + EAK Wire	Earned media, events, KOLs; wire packages	None for the agency; $1,395 to $14,995 for the wire	“Guaranteed publications” per package	Nothing published for the agency	6/10
MarketAcross (agency)	Earned media, advisory, SEO, event PR	None; Clutch lists $10,000+ and $150–199/h	“We guarantee results”	Nothing published	7/10
Cointraffic PR desk	Hand-managed release plus ad network	From €1,500 PR-only	“agreed-upon number” of sites	First deposit non-refundable; balance above it refunded minus 15%	7.5/10

Where Melrose differs from the Dubai and Tel Aviv shops is tone and reach. It is an American firm with American media habits: the showcase hits are CNBC, CoinDesk, Bloomberg and Forbes, its latest event was a hike co-hosted with a law firm at SALT in Jackson Hole, its newest client is an energy research centre, and nothing on the site addresses Asia, Turkey, language packs or KOL campaigns. If your announcement needs to land with US institutional press and policy audiences, that is a fit the agencies in our Web3 agency roundup rarely offer; if it needs to land in Seoul or on Telegram, it is the wrong desk.

Verdict

Melrose PR scores 6/10, level with EAK Digital, Outset PR and Lunar Strategy, and the reasons on both sides are unusually clean. On the credit side: fourteen years of homepages that tell a consistent story, a founder who signs her name to everything, an Inc. 5000 rank confirmed in Inc.’s own data, four testimonials from named executives at companies that demonstrably work with the group, a client wall corroborated by 182 releases on the house wire, two showcased hits that are what the page says they are, a house wire with the clearest per-outlet price list in crypto PR, and not one complaint anywhere we looked. On the debit side: no price, no terms, no company name and no address on the agency site; a 2017 privacy policy as the only legal text; a team section that shrank from twelve names to none in eighteen months while the COO moved to the wire; a terminated California company replaced by a Wyoming LLC whose “headquarters” is a registered agent’s suite, on a site that still says California; zero third-party reviews in fourteen years; and a wire whose homepage says “guaranteed” while its terms say “We do not guarantee publication by any specific media outlet” and “all sales are final”.

It does not reach MarketAcross’s 7 because MarketAcross has nine disclosed-budget Clutch reviews and Melrose has none, and it does not reach Chainwire’s 6.5 because Chainwire at least publishes its own prices and terms, which Melrose does only through a sister company. It stays above the 5.5 tier because, unlike those agencies, every client claim we could test held. Hire it if you want a US earned-media specialist with a long memory and institutional contacts, ask for the retainer terms in writing before you sign, and read the Bitwire terms before you let the agency route your releases through its own wire.

FAQ

How much does Melrose PR charge?

The agency publishes no price. Its Clutch profile, which has no reviews, lists a “$10,000+” minimum project and “$100 – $149 / hr”, and GoodFirms lists “< $25 /hr”; neither figure is attributed to the agency. The group’s newswire, Bitwire, publishes fixed per-release prices from $300 (Benzinga and Investing.com) to $14,500 (seven crypto outlets), with a CoinDesk add-on at $1,500.

Is Melrose PR a legitimate company?

Yes, with a long record. The domain dates from October 2011, the homepage has been archived every year since 2012, the founder is named on every version since 2015, and Inc.’s 2024 list data confirms the agency at rank 1,574. The original California LLC, with a 2012 filing number, is terminated; the live entity is Melrose PR, LLC, filed in Wyoming in 2025 and active. We found no complaint about the agency anywhere, and no review either.

Where is Melrose PR based?

The founder lives in Jackson, Wyoming, and the active company is registered there at its agent’s suite, which LinkedIn lists as headquarters. The website still says “Made with 🧡 in California” and invites recruits to “jump on the next flight to LA”; the agency’s Santa Monica offices appear on the 2014 to 2018 sites and on its Clutch profile. Bitwire LLC gives a Los Angeles mailbox address and is incorporated in Delaware.

Is Bitwire part of Melrose PR?

Bitwire’s LinkedIn page says it was “Created by Melrose PR”, its features page calls Melrose “our sister PR team”, and its launch release of 4 September 2025 quotes “Kelley Weaver, Founder of Bitwire and CEO of Melrose PR”. Legally it is a separate Delaware company, Bitwire LLC, with its own terms: all sales final, no guarantee of publication by any specific outlet.

Does Melrose PR guarantee coverage?

The agency site promises “tier-1 press coverage” but publishes no written guarantee or terms. Bitwire’s pages say “guaranteed placements”, and its pricing FAQ defines that as publication “through the publication or package you purchase, subject to Bitwire’s Editorial Guidelines and publisher requirements”, adding that “It does not mean a journalist will independently write about your company.” Its terms state that refunds are not issued when publishers decline to run a release.

Who are Melrose PR’s clients?

The homepage wall shows 21 logos including Polkadot, Chainlink Labs, BitGo, Avalanche, Aztec, Babylon, Pyth, CoinMarketCap, Pantera, Swan, Fold and Blockdaemon, with testimonials from Amberdata, Bitcoin Conference 2024, Amboss and Distractive on behalf of Polkadot. The Bitwire feed carries releases for most of those names, nine for Polkadot alone. Earlier walls listed SingularityNET and RightMesh in 2018, Coinmama and ETC Labs in 2022, and Chainlink, Skale, Moonbeam and Mina in 2024.
