THE NAME
Encoded in knots.
Now in blocks.
The Khipu was the Inca Empire's masterwork of information — a system of knotted cords that recorded trade, census, and history across millions of people. No central authority could alter it. No intermediary could corrupt it. It was, in every meaningful sense, the world's first immutable ledger.
We named ourselves in its honor because we believe money should carry the same qualities: transparent, verifiable, sovereign — and belonging to the people who hold it. What the Inca encoded in knots, we encode in blocks.
