Ayre Group<\/a>\u00a0has taken a majority stake in\u00a0nChain<\/a>\u00a0with the goal of accelerating development and commercial adoption of the enterprise blockchain research firm\u2019s market-leading intellectual property portfolio.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On Tuesday, the Antigua-based Ayre Group\u2014which is run by this site\u2019s founder\u00a0Calvin Ayre<\/a>\u00a0and of which CoinGeek is a subsidiary\u2014announced that it had finalized a CHF500 million (\u20ac516 million\/\u00a3443 million\/$570 million) investment in nChain, the global leader in blockchain and Web3 technology company.<\/p>\n

The deal, which is believed to be the single largest enterprise blockchain IP investment to date, consists of an equity acquisition of nChain by the Ayre Group, an IP licensing deal for\u00a0Ayre Ventures<\/a>\u00a0portfolio companies, and a line of credit.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

nChain and its U.K. based chief scientist\u00a0Dr. Craig Wright<\/a>\u00a0have amassed an unparalleled IP portfolio focused on enterprise blockchain and Web3 technology. To date, global patent offices have awarded 765 patents to nChain, with another 3,400+ patents filed and awaiting approval. Combined, the portfolio spans nearly 500 patent families, with applicability to Web3, NFTs, smart contracts, AI and more.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

nChain\u2019s IP library was recently profiled in\u00a0Forbes<\/a>, which noted that nChain\u2019s patents \u201caffect everything from the US$1 trillion cryptocurrency market to corporate implementations built by some of the largest companies in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

As shown at the recent\u00a0London Blockchain Conference<\/a>, nChain has a team dedicated to\u00a0creating workable demos<\/a>\u00a0that illustrate the practical applications of its patent library. This commitment to developing valuable IP with real-world impact earned nChain a spot in the prestigious\u00a0LexisNexis Innovation Momentum 2023: The Global Top 100<\/a>, a report of companies advancing innovative solutions to today\u2019s challenges and laying the IP foundations for further breakthroughs.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The internet is undergoing a seismic shift from Web2 to Web3, with\u00a0blockchain-powered tools<\/a>\u00a0aimed at restoring users\u2019 control over their personal data. This shift will only be possible with the tools developed by nChain and Dr. Wright, who have made it their mission to disrupt the system currently dominated by the centralized Big Tech Web2 behemoths.<\/p>\n

Stefan Matthews, nChain\u2019s co-founder and executive chairman, commented on the deal, saying: \u201cCalvin has been a strong advocate for nChain over the years. His decision to take a greater equity position in the nChain Group signifies his confidence in our business model and the value that we hold in our patent portfolio, software development and consulting services.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Christen Ager-Hanssen, nChain\u00b4s Group CEO, added: \u201cnChain\u2019s bold mission is to catalyze an unprecedented transformation, propelling the world from Web2 to Web3 at an astounding pace. This groundbreaking shift will not only revolutionize our lives but also shake the very foundations of industries far and wide. With Calvin\u2019s unwavering dedication and visionary leadership, nChain is poised to spearhead the creation of a trillion-dollar ecosystem, leaving an indelible mark on the world, making it a better place for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The future\u2019s so bright<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Ayre\u2019s increased investment puts him squarely in nChain\u2019s driver\u2019s seat, Ayre told CoinGeek that he has no interest in taking any drastic action that might derail this fast-moving train.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked closely with Stefan Matthews and Dr. Wright for years and they\u2019ve never given me cause to question their abilities or their commitment. I haven\u2019t known Christen Ager-Hanssen as long, but I respect all that he\u2019s achieved in his business career and I know he\u2019s brought an infectious new energy and enthusiasm to nChain\u2019s offices. I\u2019ll be around to offer my input, of course, but I have complete faith in nChain\u2019s senior management continuing the stellar work they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the motivation behind Ayre\u2019s investment is to accelerate the pace of nChain\u2019s development of new IP as well as increasing commercial adoption of technology based on these patents. And while Ayre is a well-known supporter of the\u00a0BSV Blockchain<\/a>, he emphasized the \u201cblockchain-agnostic\u201d nature of nChain\u2019s IP.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll blockchain and Web3 projects rely to some degree on the work that nChain and Dr. Wright have dedicated themselves to over the last decade or so. It is thanks to their vision, intelligence and persistence that the system we have now has evolved the way it did. And thanks to their efforts, the way forward has a clear roadmap for others to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as much as nChain and Wright have accomplished, their work is far from over. Ayre says the internet\u2019s evolution isn\u2019t yet complete, as few projects are truly taking advantage of the dramatic expansion of the number of unique addresses under\u00a0IPv6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I believe BSV is the only blockchain capable of scaling to meet the enormous transaction demands that Web3 will impose\u2014and can do so without making those transactions cost-prohibitive\u2014I also recognize that everyone may not share this view. nChain\u2019s IP is designed to help enterprises and governments solve real-world problems for billions of people. I happen to think this works optimally on BSV but there\u2019s nothing stopping projects from utilizing nChain\u2019s patents on other blockchains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big teeth, tiny brains<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ayre\u2019s point about other blockchain\/Web3 projects leaning on nChain\u2019s IP was made clear earlier this year, when\u00a0Jack Dorsey<\/a>\u2019s payment processing firm\u00a0Block<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ: SQ<\/a>) filed a smart contract patent application that omitted its reliance on a prior patent held by nChain. Fortunately, some sharp eyes at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office\u00a0caught the omission and added the necessary citation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to think that Block\u2019s omission was intentional. Block is a founding member of the\u00a0Crypto Open Patent Alliance<\/a>\u00a0(COPA), a group with a lofty mission statement of ensuring open access to members\u2019 shared IP libraries. But based on its only actions since forming a couple years ago, COPA\u2019s ultimate mission is suing Dr. Wright to challenge his right to protect the fruit of his intellectual labors.<\/p>\n

Dorsey is also\u00a0bankrolling the developers<\/a>\u00a0responsible for\u00a0the BTC fork<\/a>, who are looking to undermine Wright\u2019s efforts to establish that these same developers\u00a0have a fiduciary duty<\/a>\u00a0to their protocol\u2019s end-users. For years, Wright has been trying to get the blockchain sector to acknowledge its responsibilities to its users, particularly in terms of\u00a0asset recovery<\/a>, without which blockchain will remain relegated to the dark fringes of finance.<\/p>\n

Wright\u2019s antagonists are also working hard to paint Wright and nChain as\u00a0targeting open-source software<\/a>. In reality, Wright\u2019s lawsuits have nothing to do with open-source software and everything to do with a small group of profit-minded entities who want to ride Wright\u2019s intellectual coattails all the way to the bank.<\/p>\n

In fact, a number of nChain clients are currently using its patents, many of which are available for open use under the BSV Blockchain protocol license. Other licenses are available for other uses, depending on a client\u2019s needs and the specific patents addressed.<\/p>\n

Ayre believes the Web2 giants\u2014some of whom are COPA members<\/a>\u2014understand all too well the misinformation they\u2019re spreading. But with their entrenched positions under threat from technologically-advantaged upstarts, they\u2019re likely feeling under threat like never before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Web2 incumbents got too big and too comfortable. Like the dinosaurs, they didn\u2019t see the meteor coming. While they were counting their money from selling people\u2019s private data, Craig and nChain were hard at work building a vision for a more user-friendly internet experience. Like they say, build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. You might even catch a couple big rats while you\u2019re at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, Ayre says he still sometimes has difficulty grasping the sheer depth and breadth of nChain\u2019s IP. \u201cCraig has already surpassed Edison in terms of the number of patents awarded and shows zero signs of slowing down. My guess is he\u2019ll eventually end up as the most prolific inventor in history. I only wish Satoshi Nakamoto was as smart.\u201d<\/p>\n
