A Living Time Capsule Built by the World 2026
What it is
Block Your Time is a global time capsule living on the blockchain. You make something, a photo, a note, a collage, anything that feels true to where you are right now, and put it on the blockchain. Your time capsule will be a public record that shows it's yours and when you made it, in a way that's built to be very hard to alter or erase.
On a global scale this will live as an archive of what we were all doing in 2026, what our lives and our dreams looked like, for future generations to explore and learn from.
How to participate:
In one year, we send your time capsule back to you exactly as you left it. Ready to be part of this? Here's how it works.

EVERYONE HAS A SPECIAL HISTORY
Think about your grandmother's old love letters, and your grandfather's photos of friends from his youth. Think about those special occasions that make life memorable and fulfilling, milestones like weddings, birthdays, graduations, parties. Think about the things people made, gifts they received, a lifetime of memories that they kept.MEMORIES ARE LOST
At some point these relics ended up living in shoeboxes, attic corners, and the backs of closets, until they outlived their owner, passed on to a new one, or were forever lost. Most family histories, memories, and belongings are now gone. The few that survived and were passed down by their descendants often exist without any way to prove they're real, or unaltered, or whose they were.SELECTIVE HISTORY
History has worked this way because the tools for keeping it alive were inaccessible to most. Archives were curated, history was reserved for a few and written by fewer, and data collection was always limited. Today, we see something similar with platforms being deleted or hard drives failing. The decisions about what gets preserved, attributed, and verified, have never been neutral.OUR SOLUTION
Blockchain can change that not just for our institutions, histories, but our memories. Now, anyone with a phone and something worth remembering can participate in our shared global history. Your kids could look this up. Your grandkids could know this moment existed, exactly as it was, and that it came from you.
Upcoming workshops
Our in person and online workshops are for people who have questions, want guidance, or just want to meet the team and talk about what we're building.
We go through the instructions together, mint in real time, and leave space for the conversations that happen when curious people are in the same room.
why blockchain makes your memories outlast time?
Provenance
The blockchain records who made something and when, permanently. Your time capsule will always be traceable back to you — the date you created it, the moment you put it there.
Immutability
Once something lives on the blockchain, it is almost impossible to alter it. Not us, not a platform, not anyone. What you put in is exactly what will be there in a year, in ten years, in a hundred.
Ownership
Your capsule belongs to you, held in your wallet. We are not the owners of your memory, you are.
Together let’s build the PATHWAY TO a better future!
