Community is a huge part in getting a blockchain protocol up and running. Having great software helps, but it needs to be tailored to solve real problems. Guessing at the problem is never as productive as real experience and deep knowledge.
It takes a lot of effort to be able to understand the existing complexity, and without those initial steps it is easy to go wrong. To help us gain deep knowledge from our local community and internationally, we have been going to conferences such as the EDCON (Community Ethereum Development Conference) in Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada on May 3–5, 2018 and Consensus 2018 at the New York Hilton Midtown on May 14–16, 2018.
Our Managing Director, Edwin Zhang, attended Consensus 2018 at New York city, to meet some of our advisors, investors and potential partners.
A design is great, but a big development project eats up a lot of resources. It’s not just coding on the weekends, it takes planning, administration and a great deal of effort to find a tangible direction. To build an organization that can build great stuff. To reach these goals the work needs to be properly funded.
For our software, we are bridging the decentralized blockchain space to the existing enterprise space. This means that we actively talking with different companies, both in and out of the blockchain space. We not only need to understand the solutions out there, but also how other enterprises need to use them, and the issues they are having.
Our Managing Director, met the CEO of EdenChain, James Ahn, to learn about each other project’s Enterprise focused solutions and to discuss about potential partnerships.
Given that our ambitions span three very different, often separated, communities we are always trying to bring them together. It’s at the centre of this synthesis that we believe we will find the inspiration to drive our development of our blockchain and tools that will pave the way for all sorts of new markets. Ultimately, we just want to build really cool software, but it helps if it is extraordinarily useful too.
