Since 2020

Started as ENY Crypto. Still here.

Real Life Digital Institute began as the East New York Crypto Institute. The name changed; the neighborhood and the work did not.

Our history

  1. East New York Crypto Institute starts

    The institute begins in East New York under the name East New York Crypto Institute (ENY Crypto).

    Stated by the institute; source document pending

  2. First Neighborhood Record release

    The ZIP Activity Pulse publishes ACRIS property-record activity for every covered NYC ZIP, as of August 31, 2026.

  3. Neighborhood Record Bulletin covers eight neighborhoods

    The Bulletin replaces the Pulse with neighborhood reports, coverage notes, and a common comparison window.

  4. The institute becomes Real Life Digital Institute

    ENY Crypto widens its scope from digital money to the technology that shapes everyday life, and keeps its East New York base and history.

The future should have more participants.
