Wow, what a journey we have been on so far, and we’re only just getting started! This month has been the most exciting yet and we finally feel like we are ready to show the world what Emanate stands for and what we’re planning to do.

We have a series of huge announcements and releases for you, including:

Formalisation of our Vampr partnership, bringing over 400,000 users to the Emanate ecosystem

Confirmation of Baz Palmer and Josh Simons (Vampr) as advisors

Full website update, with much more detail about the project and why it matters

Three slick new pieces of video content for your viewing and sharing pleasure

New connections with the EOS Block Producer community

Opening the first round of our pre-sale to over 1000 pre-registered individuals

Demo platform set for August deployment

Meet on Vampr, make money together on Emanate. it’s that simple!

Vampr partnership

We met Josh and Russell at the Fast Forward music conference in Sydney back in May and immediately saw the synergy between our products. We starting talking and it turns out that Vampr were already thinking about crypocurrency integration into their ecosystem. Fast forward 8-weeks and we have an MOU signed and working out the final detail of Strategic Joint Venture between our entities. Vampr has a fast-growing user-base of 400,000 musicians and music industry professional (it was 300,000 when we first started talking). Vampr lets people connect in a tinder-esque connection environment. From there, not only will we integrate Emanate tokens with the Vampr ecosystem, but the step from connection to collaboration will be not much more than a click. We truly believe this is holy grail of partnerships and we could not be more excited.

Baz & Josh

As part of the Vampr.me deal, Josh Simons and Baz Palmer both join us as advisors. With them they bring 6 years worth of music start-up experience on Vampr and decades worth of music industry experience. Welcome to the team, lads!

Website updates

The www.emanate.live website has been updated with all of the information you could need about our team, our vision, our plans and our fundraising. Along with it is a website update, one-pager and pitch deck to be passed along.

Technical vision video

We know the crypto crowd love a bit of visual stimulation and a bit of futuristic techno-froth. So our 3D Technical vision video delivers just that! Dive in and discover the technical side of Emanate.

Technical vision

Team overview video

It’s just a little over 4 minutes long, but worth a watch if you want to meet the Emanate cofounders, hear a little about our backstory and what we stand for and discover why we’re doing this. A perfect summary of the Emanate project that easy to watch and share in your own time.

Artist explainer video

This one is purely for the musicians, no mention of cryptocurrency or blockchain! Just a pure focus on the benefits of Emanate and why it matters to musicians.

Why Emanate matters to artists

Tokesale update

The market for running an ICO in 2018 has not been favourable. We are now at what appears to be the bottom of the market, which is actually a great time to back a project, with our roadmap unfolding as the market improves. So we’re about open the doors to anyone who has pre-registered with us and to some other selected groups. We will also be revealing an exciting new crowdsale structure. The market has shown us that we have to stay nimble, so we’ll keep you posted on how this is going to work.

Technical progress

The Emanate dev team is finding a great rhythm now that the EOS software is live and stabilised. The previous releases and test-nets required significant rework before the 1.0 software was released but just 6weeks in, we have made great progress towards launching our demo platform. Here are a few snippets from our smart-collaborations code. You can have a good dig around in our github if you a feeling a bit nosey:

We now have 4 developers on the team including Pedro with a 5th currently being on-boarded. The new website has an updated roadmap for your exploration.

EOS community connections

Sean just returned from a week in Seoul and Shanghai for the EOS Community Conferences and Family Day. The passion, intelligence and spirit that was shared in those sessions was remarkable and Sean returned full of energy and excitement about EOS. From here, we will look to strengthen the technical support from the community and will follow up on several investment and incubation opportunities. A big thanks to Ross and Shelley from EOSphere who have been the first from the EOS community to contribute to the project and for getting us over to Korea and China in the first place! Please give EOSphere some serious consideration for your BP votes as they are flying the EOS flag very high here in Australia.

So what’s next?

While we move towards opening the doors to the crowdsale we will continue with technical progress and continue to build education and awareness. We are working on some huge artist and label relationships and even more music industry partnerships.

Keep spreading the word and thank you for your support so far.
