Charting our longer term route, what’s next?

Rate3' vision has always been a global decentralised settlement network for payment and credit scoring, through our dual protocols. The success of our token sale only further strengthens our resolve in this vision. E-Commerce is but one of the first huge verticals we will be tapping on, to kickstart the entire network. This is part of our bid to become a comprehensive, decentralised settlement network. If we are to truly adhere to our dream of enhancing cryptocurrency adoption, we need to do more than just provide a solution for E-commerce — we have to help other blockchain actors (dApps, wallets, payment gateways) gain mainstream adoption in as many verticals and applications as possible. The usage of our protocols in various projects will remove intermedaries, encourage greater cooperation, and greatly improve the efficiency and efficacy of a global network.

In view of this grand vision, we’ll be pushing out our Atomic Swaps testnet, and implementing these Atomic Swaps between Stellar and Ethereumm. Secondly, we will launch our Merchant Dashboard and Merchant SDK prototypes, and launch our Cross-Border Payment Protocol on the Mainnet. In 2019, we will launch the Rate Credit Scoring protocol on the Testnet and invite partners and supporters to test it. Rate3 will allow users to pay for anything, anywhere, whilst building up their credit scores at the same time, creating a world of payment without borders.

Once again, thank you everyone for putting your faith in Rate3 and joining us on this amazing journey.

As we conclude our token sale today, we have to remind everyone and ourselves that it does not signify the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Jake,

on behalf of the entire Rate3 team.
