[PRESS RELEASE – Tampa, Florida, December 15th, 2025]
The Geode Foundation, a nonprofit group dedicated to creating opportunities through blockchain technology, has announced an exciting milestone. The Foundation’s cryptocurrency, called GEODE, is now officially listed on the cryptocurrency exchange BitMart. This event marks the first time people can trade GEODE on a major platform, making it easier for people around the world to use and invest in it.
For nearly four years, Geode has quietly worked on building a new way to use blockchain technology. Blockchain is like a digital ledger that securely keeps track of transactions. The Geode team believes their work will change how applications (apps) work in a decentralized world. A decentralized system means there isn’t one central authority (like a bank or tech company) controlling it. Instead, it runs on contributions from many participants who share power.
What is Geode’s MainNet and Why is it Different?
Geode launched its main blockchain network (called the Layer 1 blockchain) in February 2023. This MainNet has been active for over 34 months without any downtime, which means it hasn’t failed or stopped working at any time since it started. This success is largely thanks to a system it uses called Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS). This system allows people to keep the network running without using as much energy as other methods, like Proof of Work (PoW), which Bitcoin uses. In fact, Geode’s method uses 99% less energy, making it much kinder to the environment.
Another cool thing about Geode is that you don’t need powerful or expensive computers to join. Anyone with a laptop, desktop, or even a smartphone can participate in running the blockchain. This makes it easier for regular people to get involved and use blockchain without needing special gear.
What Apps Does Geode Offer?
Geode has built many helpful apps to make their blockchain practical for users. These apps help people do things like securely register their work or ideas to prove they created them and protect their rights. They can also share their skills, education, and good deeds with others who can endorse or support them.
For example, the Life and Work App allows users to post their work experience, educational background, and achievements. It also ensures that their intellectual property (unique work or ideas) is protected forever on the blockchain. Other apps include tools for private messaging, a marketplace to trade goods or services, and ways to discover apps that work across multiple blockchains (called cross-chain dApps). This entire system aims to give value back to users rather than centralized companies that usually act as middlemen.
A Growing Community and a Big Vision
Since it started, Geode has attracted more than 10,000 active users. Many of these users go beyond just signing up. Around 40% of them serve as ambassadors, test new features, or share ideas on how to improve the platform. This high level of involvement is rare in the blockchain world.
One reason for this strong community is that Geode rewards these contributions. Users can earn rewards by doing things like creating content or helping improve the blockchain’s systems. The project is unique because it doesn’t rely on venture capital (outside investors with lots of money) or traditional financial funding. Instead, it’s a self-sustaining system that keeps growing on its own.
Leadership: The People Behind Geode
The leadership team includes Thomas and Dr. Kathryn Messegee, a husband-wife duo. Thomas focuses on the technical aspects like building software and hardware systems to keep everything running smoothly. Dr. Kathryn Messegee, who has a PhD in mathematics and significant experience in technology and behavioral science, leads the project as CEO.
Dr. Messegee has a bold vision for Geode. She wants to create an economy where individuals have control over their finances and digital activities – not big companies. For example, she imagines a future where people can use GEODE to pay for rent, groceries, and other daily needs. But it doesn’t stop there. Dr. Messegee also believes in merging blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to build tools that allow people to innovate securely and privately.
Geode uses community-led governance to ensure its blockchain grows in ways people want. Everyone can vote on how the system should evolve, whether that’s making technical improvements or deciding how funds are spent. This ensures the network supports its users rather than business interests.
Why the BitMart Listing Matters
So, why is being listed on BitMart important? BitMart is one of the biggest global platforms for trading cryptocurrencies. Millions of people already use it to buy and sell digital assets. By listing GEODE there, Geode makes it easier for anyone, from curious newcomers to experienced investors, to access and trade its cryptocurrency. This could bring more attention to the project and help it grow even more.
By expanding into platforms like BitMart, the Geode Foundation is speeding up efforts to build what they call an “entirely new economy.” This future-focused vision is about giving individuals, not corporations, greater control over their digital and financial lives.

BitMart doesn’t offer financial advice, so it’s important to do your own research and consider your financial situation carefully.
