As the year comes to an end, it’s a tradition to sum it up and set goals for the future. For ADAMANT the year 2018 has become a key one, and we can say so much about it. But first of all, I want to point that this is a common merit of the team, community, partners and investors.

We’ve gone a long way in development and marketing of our project. The year started with the successful ICO which allowed us to continue working on the messenger.

The development took the most part of our resources: we created our own kind of consensus — Fair Delegate Proof-of-Stake (Fair dPoS) that has proven itself very well. We improved the ADAMANT Messenger web app, released the iOS version as well as Android version which will be officially released in the Play Market soon. We’ve also developed and expanded the project’s infrastructure; combined the sending of messages and transferring of popular tokens on our platform. The software for block processing nodes was improved and the convenient console for technical partners was created as well as the ADAMANT 2FA app. We released the official forging pool and its software with the documentation for working with the ADAMANT blockchain.

We held the information security contest in 2018. It ended without a winner which proves the reliability of our system.

The team grew from 10 to 25 people, 15 are developers, and almost everyone works remotely. We held regular meetups to coordinate our work. One of them was attended by cybersecurity experts from Defense Group.

We have adjusted the marketing department’s work and concluded agreements with several media. The marketing campaigns were conducted and we put a lot of effort into finding business partners. Hundreds of people learned about the project; the number of users and ADM tokens holders has increased. Currently there are three forging pools producing ADMs.

ADAMANT representatives attended several blockchain conferences; european Rethink Trust and BlockYard are among them as well as Token 2049 in Hong Kong. This helped not only to deepen the skills and ken of our specialists, but also brought us important business contacts.

The key event is ahead: ADM is going to be placed on exchanges, and we expect the changes in token price and a new wave of interest towards ADAMANT Messenger. The negotiations are over, the relationships are established and the integration process is underway.

I thank everyone for being with us in 2018! Moving on to 2019 with new forces, we will continue to uphold our main values: protecting the secrets and security of correspondence in the name of anonymity and decentralization.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2019!
