Geode Lists GEODE Coin on BitMart.com as Part of Ongoing Decentralized Infrastructure Expansion

[PRESS RELEASE – Tampa, Florida, December 15th, 2025]

The Geode Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering economic opportunity and community empowerment through blockchain innovation, today proudly announces the primary exchange listing of its native cryptocurrency, GEODE, on BitMart.com.

This milestone marks GEODE’s trading debut, opening the doors for broader adoption and liquidity in a project that has been quietly revolutionizing decentralized applications since its inception almost four years ago.

As the crypto market continues to evolve amid a pro-crypto regulatory landscape in the United States, Geode Chain stands out as a beacon of long-term sustainability and real-world utility. Built on a foundation of volunteer-driven development and a mission to “set humanity free,” Geode Chain integrates a robust Layer 1 blockchain with a fully deployed suite of native apps, enabling seamless access to the entire “Internet of Chains” in one unified ecosystem. This listing on BitMart – a trusted exchange serving millions of users worldwide – is not just a trading event; it’s a gateway for everyday people, the crypto curious, creators, and innovators to join a movement that’s been operating and building for years.

A Proven Foundation: MainNet Excellence and Native App Ecosystem

Launched in February 2023, Geode Chain’s MainNet has achieved an extraordinary record of zero downtime over 34 months of continuous operation – a testament to its resilient Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, which consumes 99% less energy than Proof of Work alternatives. This eco-friendly architecture allows users to participate using everyday devices like laptops, desktops, or even smartphones, democratizing access to blockchain technology without the need for specialized hardware. Complementing the chain is Geode’s native app suite, already fully built and deployed, empowering users to register intellectual property (IP) on-chain for immutable timestamps, endorse expertise among peers, and monetize creative works directly. The Life and Work App, for instance, lets users post work history, education, and “good deeds” while facilitating endorsements and IP protection. Additional Geode apps include social, private messaging, marketplace, and cross-chain dApp discovery – all designed to create a complete user-owned economy where value flows back to individuals, not intermediaries.

“Geode isn’t just another blockchain; it’s a 50-year vision for economic sovereignty,” said Dr. Kathryn Messegee, Founder at Geode. “With our MainNet’s unwavering reliability and apps already in users’ hands, we are proving that decentralization can be practical, and transformative from day one.”

Surging User Growth: A Thriving Community of Over 10,000 Active Participants

Geode Chain’s grassroots momentum is undeniable, with over 10,000 registered users and counting – a figure that reflects not just sign-ups, but active engagement. Remarkably, 40% of account holders contribute as ambassadors, product testers, or innovation team members, far surpassing typical blockchain retention rates. This organic growth stems from Geode’s “post-to-earn” programs, onboarding incentives and more which reward participation in everything from content creation to validator nominations. The project’s all volunteer global team, spanning developers, marketers, and governance experts, has fueled this expansion without relying on venture capital or fiat funding. Instead, Geode operates as a self-sustaining and self-funded project, promoting long-term tokenomics health. As users flock to the platform for its low-barrier to entry and real utility, Geode is positioning itself as the go-to hub for cross-chain interactions, where one app unlocks the decentralized world.

Leadership and Vision: Purpose-Driven Innovation for Generations

At the helm is the husband-wife team of Thomas and Kathryn Messegee. Thomas Messegee – hardware and software prototyping expert – serves as the technical team lead overseeing development. Dr. Kathryn Messegee, PhD – a mathematician, behavioral expert, former DARPA Program Manager – serves as the CEO, whose visionary leadership has guided Geode from concept to a mature ecosystem. With expertise in blockchain, smart contracts, and human-centered design, Dr. Messegee has assembled a distributed team of volunteers passionate about replacing centralized gatekeepers with user-governed tools. This includes on-chain governance for treasury decisions, code upgrades, and runtime parameters, ensuring the chain evolves with its community. Geode’s long-term roadmap extends far beyond today’s listing: a 50-year commitment to building an “entirely new economy” where GEODE can pay rent, buy groceries, and fuel global collaboration. By converging AI and blockchain, Geode envisions a decentralized future that accelerates innovation while prioritizing privacy, IP rights, and the Individual. As the project eyes expansions into AI-OS integrations, this listing accelerates the marathon toward a world where individuals – not corporations – control their digital destiny.
