Filling out the sign-up form

The sign-up form is our entry gate to capture the high-level characteristics of your mining operation. After completing the sign-up form our team will review the information and get in touch with you.

Receiving your access credentials

  • When accessing the application for the first time, you will be asked to set up 2-Factor-Authentication.
  • When you first login, you be notified that you are required to complete the Know-Your-Customer assessment before having access to more information.

Completing the Know-Your-Customer assessment

This procedure is currently handled by an accredited third-party provider and is conducted in accordance with the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulation issued by the Swiss Financial Markets regulator (FINMA).

  • Block Green will use the submitted user information to contact you and an authorized signatory* via email to start the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) assessment.
  • You will receive an email containing all relevant links to complete the following steps:
  • Complete a KYC questionnaire where you will disclose more information about yourself and your company.
  • Upload legally required documents such as the Certificate of Incorporation and an overview of your company’s ownership structure.
  • In addition, the authorized signatory* will be asked to perform a video identification and digitally sign off on the KYC documentation.
  • Upon receiving the required information, we will conduct regulatory required checks regarding Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), crime, and sanction lists and our AML Officer will review any findings.
  • We will come back to you in case we require further information.

*We only need a separate authorized signatory from your company if the person submitting the KYC information does not have signatory rights.

Accessing the app

  • After passing the AML/KYC checks and KYM assessment, you will receive a welcome email with a link to the Block Green app.
  • You can now access the app using your new credentials.
  • If you want to create an opportunity on the application, you are required to complete the Know-Your-Miner assessment.

Completing the Know-Your-Miner assessment

  • You will be asked to complete a form with required financial and operational data (e.g. income statement, balance sheet, energy price).
  • You will be able to provide optional additional information that helps to improve the accuracy of our assessment.
  • Block Green will conduct an in-depth due diligence on the provided information, and will contact you for any additional required information.
  • On the basis of the KYM assessment, we will assign each Miner three scores for financial health, operational health and sustainability (max. 100 points per category).
  • With your consent, we will prepare a data room containing some of your provided data that can be shared with potential Liquidity Providers.
