About us
Houston runs the world's back office. We're here to upgrade the OS.
From the Energy Corridor to NASA to the Texas Medical Center, Houston powers the global economy. The Houston Blockchain Alliance is where the people upgrading that infrastructure actually hang out.
We're 2,000+ builders, founders, devs, and operators who figured out that "Trust Me, Bro" isn't a viable business model - and that the tech replacing it is finally worth paying attention to.
We've been at this since 2018, back when you had to explain what a wallet was at every meetup.
Houston isn't trying to be Crypto Twitter's main character. We're energy, healthcare, logistics, aerospace - industries where decentralized tech solves problems that cost real money when they break. That's not a limitation. That's the whole point.
What we do:
- Meetups & AMAs - High-signal conversations with the people writing the code, not just talking about it.
- Deep Dives & Workshops - ZK proofs, digital identity, and enterprise integration. Stuff you can actually use Monday morning.
- The Network - 2,000+ people across the ecosystem who are building, shipping, or strategically curious about what's next.
Whether you're deep in protocol design, dragging your enterprise into Web3, or just trying to figure out why this matters for your industry - you belong here.
Come build with us. Houston's got the industries. We've got the builders. The future's not going to decentralize itself.

Token Talk: Houston - Security in an Agentic World
The Cannon, 1334 Brittmoore Rd., Houston, TX, USJoin us Tuesday, June 16th, from 5:30-7:30 PM CDT at the Cannon West Houston for an evening diving into the real-world security challenges facing AI and Web3 teams and what it takes to build a defensible agentic operation.
What You'll Get:
Kevin Jones, Founder of **1Claw **and Developer Relations Engineer at Edge & Node, will share practical lessons from building security infrastructure for AI agents. His talk, "Security in an Agentic World," will cut through the noise and focus on what crypto and AI teams can actually do today to protect their systems as autonomous agents become core to how products are built and operated.
Kevin brings a rare combination of developer relations expertise and founder experience, having spent over a decade bridging complex engineering systems and the developers who build on them, across companies like F5 Networks, The Graph, and now 1Claw, where he's building secret management and security infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents.You'll Learn:
- Why secret management is the critical unsolved problem in agentic AI systems
- How HSM-backed vaults and MPC key splitting protect sensitive credentials across cloud environments
- What prompt injection, unicode obfuscation, and social engineering look like in practice and how to block them at the LLM proxy layer
- How on-chain transaction signing can work without private keys ever leaving a secure enclave
- Practical steps any AI or Web3 team can take today to reduce exposure as they ship agentic products
Who This Is For: Whether you're a founder, developer, or operator building in Web3 or AI, a crypto professional thinking about how to protect your protocol or product, or simply someone curious about what security looks like in a world of autonomous agents, this is your chance to hear directly from someone doing this work every day.
