The Slock.it Application, now available in Alpha as part of our MVP program

After 2 years of R&D and a successful USD 2m seed round in March 2017, Slock.it unveiled its groundbreaking Universal Sharing Network to the enthusiastic crowd attending Devcon 3, the largest Ethereum blockchain developer conference.

Christoph Jentzsch, our CEO, took the stage to reveal our progress on our ambitious plans for building the next generation of Sharing Economy, rewriting the rules on how objects are shared and enabling any individual or business to monetize their home, appliances or office buildings. Selected developers can join our alpha (MVP) program by clicking here.

Addressing the crowd of hundreds of programmers, Christoph Jentzsch demonstrated a prototype of the Slock.it application, enabling prosumers and businesses alike possible to rent, sell or share any smart object through the blockchain. Because Slock.it software is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, Slock.it applications are always on, suffers no downtime, features cryptographic security by default, requires no login or signup, and can be audited by anyone.
