It has been an exciting start to 2023 for the Block Earner team – from launching exciting new products, successfully expanding to Turkey – to being recognised as a finalist in** FinTech Australia's annual Finnie Awards** for the second year running!

This year we have been recognised again for ‘Excellence in Crypto and Digital Currencies’ and added a new badge of honour for ‘Excellence in Establishing Global Market Presence’ following our successful launch in Turkey late last year.

The Finnie Awards celebrate achievements across the Australian fintech ecosystem and this year it received over 300 entries from 250+ fintechs across 19 categories. Being recognised by one of the most prestigious awards in the space is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, who have been working tirelessly to build a world-class platform that provides users with simple access to blockchain-powered financial tools and services.

Since launching in 2022, we have been dedicated to providing a secure and reliable next-gen finance platform for everyday users that combines the best of both traditional and blockchain finance offerings.

For many, Block Earner is the first foray into the world of DeFi and blockchain-powered finance, and we are committed to making this experience as smooth and user-friendly as possible. Being a Finnies finalist in x2 leading categories is a huge honour, and we are grateful for the recognition. It motivates us to continue pushing the envelope and finding new ways to innovate, forever.

The Finnie Awards will take place in Melbourne on 31 May 2023. We’d like to thank Fintech Australia for the recognition and we look forward to celebrating another year of success in our ecosystem. Congratulations and good luck to all the finalists!
