Cryptokit

The CryptoKit research project provides a visual mapping of blockchain technology and Web3 protocols to make them accessible to a wide audience. It includes an open source typeface of more than 200 pictograms of key blockchain terms. When paired with IBM Plex, these icons can be arranged in didactic diagrams thanks to a dedicated tool on this website.
