While the world quivered and threatened to burst into flames, 2020 has undoubtedly been a big year for Gilded and for the blockchain industry at large.

With new customers, partners, and advisors, 2020 was a year of overcoming challenges, continuous innovation, and serious strides and growth for Gilded.

This past January, we restructured our core mission from crypto accounting to a full-service blockchain back office solution—supporting payments, invoicing, bill pay, and accounting. It's been the most impactful and sustaining decision we've made all year.

Since then, we've had a lot of cool things happen. Here's our 2020 highlights reel.
