Leading the Next Era of On-chain Finance

We democratise financial services for all – through innovation and decentralisation.

About Bastion Cooperative

Bastion Cooperative is the first
We are a pioneering developer of on-chain financial technology.  We are building Polity Market, the next-generation B2B2C multi-sided marketplace for on-chain financial products and services.

Polity Market connects buyers directly with sellers and offers bespoke and intuitive access to a wide range of on-chain financial solutions. We combine the best practices from decentralised and centralised technologies, aggregating supply and demand for a seamless, frictionless experience.

Bastion Cooperative was constituted on 31 May 2022 and registered in the Liechtenstein Commercial Register as Liechtenstein Venture Cooperative (in German "Kleine Genossenschaft”) pursuant to Art. 488 para. 1a PGR on 31 August 2022.

Liechtenstein Venture Cooperative

Liechtenstein Venture Cooperative ("LVC") is a specific legal form under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein allowing innovators to contribute their ideas and work as a form of investment. These innovators can make capital and non-capital investments, while their interests as founders and contributors in the new business undertaking are transparent and duly protected throughout the life circle of the new venture.

The LVC is a collaborative platform designed to accelerate innovation by easing financial and resource barriers. It ensures an equal, level-playing field for all members and contributors, fostering cooperation and shared success in bringing innovations to market.

Your Gateway to the Tokenised World

Polity Market is a unique meta-aggregator of supply and demand for on-chain financial products and services.
Polity is hyper-inclusive, hyper-scalable, hyper-efficient, hyper-adaptive and hyper-resilient. It creates community value for all its participants.

Decentralised Marketplace

Professional on-chain financial merchants and service providers are seamlessly and directly connected with clients through a secure decentralised marketplace.

Community Governance

Polity is a shared value network – employing a community-driven economic and governance model, inspired by the principles of cooperative enterprises.

Self-Sovereign Ecosystem

Users are able to retain full control over their identity, assets, and data through all non-custodial on-chain investments and peer-to-peer interactions.

Accessible for All

Polity removes the barriers to tokenised financial products and related services – turbocharging their distribution and consumption and making them available to everyone.

What is On-chain Finance

On-chain Finance refers to financial services, products and assets that are created, issued, transacted, and settled on a blockchain. This includes operations with cryptocurrencies, decentralised finance ("DeFi") products, tokenised assets and smart contract-based financial instruments. On-chain Finance leverages blockchain technology to ensure transparency, security, and immutability. It enables peer-to-peer transactions without the need for traditional intermediaries, such as banks or brokers. On-chain finance market is expected to grow to $19.5 TRN in 2030.

Polity is a Value Network

Polity is an economic ecosystem and a value network of users created by users for users.
“Value networks are webs of relationships that generate tangible and intangible value through complex dynamic exchanges between two or more individuals, groups, or organizations”.

A New Paradigm for Decentralised Enterprise

Polity is a new type of enterprise – decentralised network organisation ("DNO"). Polity DNO comprises of

(delegated execution layer).

What is Polity DNO?

Polity DNO is a contractual organisation which combines the advantages of decentralised governance offered by blockchain technologies with the best ‘traditional’ governance practices. Polity DNO will be a public, permissioned, professional and project Web3 enterprise:
Public: It will be owned by its tokenholders.
Permissioned: It will apply onboarding criteria for its members to preserve integrity and comply with applicable regulations.
Professional: Polity Builders must all be suitably qualified and vetted professionals
Project: It will operate as a decentralised project management-based organisation.
