Company

Wikipedia describes Matthew Roszak as “the co-founder and chairman of Bloq, a blockchain startup company”[1]. Jeff Garzik's Bitcointalk signature reads “Jeff Garzik, Bloq CEO, former bitcoin core dev team”[2]. In November 2026 Bloq's homepage lists products including Vesper, Metronome, Titan, Lumerin and BloqCloud[3].

Forks

The New York Agreement lists “Bloq (United States)” among supporters and Bloq among companies offering technical help[4]. After SegWit2x failed, Bitcoin.com News reported that “Bloq founder Jeff Garzik” and “the chairman of Bloq, Matthew Roszak” would launch United Bitcoin[5].
