The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) announced today the acquisition of Frame Holdings Ltd's intellectual property, including the Frame Blockchain, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed to connect fragmented crypto ecosystems into a single interoperable settlement network. The company plans to launch the Frame Blockchain this year as crypto commerce expands globally.
The current crypto landscape is fragmented, with networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Polygon operating as isolated economies. Frame Blockchain aims to unify them. "We believe an economic expansion of historic magnitude is taking shape in real time," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of TCC. "Innovative technology and new financial systems are enabling millions of people to build businesses around the work that matters to them. That economy needs a settlement layer that matches its speed and ambition."
Rather than competing with existing protocols, Frame Blockchain connects them, enabling applications, assets, and value to move across ecosystems. The network features post-quantum security, architectural protections against front-running, and enterprise-grade throughput. A private mempool architecture eliminates MEV bot extraction, a common practice in existing protocols. "Think of it as the interstate highway system for crypto. Commerce within each city might thrive, but without a highway connecting them, trade between them grinds to a halt," said Sean Docherty, Frame Blockchain's creator and chief architect.
Jared Strasser, Chief Operating Officer of TCC, emphasized the importance of connection for mainstream adoption. "As AI-driven commerce grows and autonomous agents begin transacting with digital assets, an interoperable settlement layer becomes even more critical." Rafe Furst, Chief Strategy Officer, added that combining a public company with a new Layer 1 blockchain provides aligned exposure to the economics of crypto commerce.
The acquisition was completed through a simultaneous sign-and-close transaction with no TCC equity issued at closing and no upfront cash. All equity consideration is milestone-based, earned only upon achievement of predefined performance and adoption targets. TCC has committed $2 million in capital to fund initial development through its newly formed subsidiary, Frame Intelligence, LLC. Learn more at thecryptocompany.com.
