BlockRocket is a strategic advisory and engineering firm working across Web3, AI, and frontier infrastructure. We partner with founders, operators, and organisations making serious bets on what comes next.
We bring hands-on protocol and product experience — not innovation theatre, recycled decks, or second-hand conviction. The people you speak to are the people who do the work.
From smart contracts and agent systems to token design and AI-native products, we work best where the landscape is shifting and the problems are still worth solving.
BlockRocket was built in Manchester, by engineers who saw decentralisation early and decided to prove their belief by shipping.
That belief became KnownOrigin, one of Ethereum’s earliest digital art platforms — later acquired by eBay in 2022 after growing into a globally recognised marketplace.
Andy and James went on to shape Web3 strategy and product direction at scale, before returning to the work they care about most: building directly with founders and teams at the frontier.
Startup, scale-up, acquisition, and back again — that cycle gave BlockRocket a sharper instinct for what survives beyond the pitch deck.
From early NFT infrastructure to real-world decentralised systems, our work spans strategy, architecture, and delivery — always grounded in what can actually ship.
We’ve built products, navigated chaos, shipped through uncertainty, and lived with the consequences. That tends to sharpen your advice.
We write about the technology we use and the problems we solve.
We work across strategy, engineering, and applied AI — usually where the stakes are high, the systems are unfamiliar, and the easy answers are wrong.
Whether you have a clear brief or just a strong sense that something important is shifting, we can help you frame the problem, pressure-test the opportunity, and work out what’s worth building.
