The idea for BlockSurvey stemmed from recognizing the need for a secure and privacy-focused solution for data collection in a hackathon. This became more evident when we witnessed Typeform suffer a data breach. We were using Web 2 tools for research and couldn’t find a tool that enabled privacy and security. So, we set out to build BlockSurvey to solve this problem.
