Community Q&A

One thing we’re particularly fond of is the two-way dialogue that we have with our Community. We got hit with some particularly interesting questions this week, so we figured we’d share the answers for all to see.

“Does BlockCAT have any takeaways from the recent kitty storm on Ethereum network?” — Mohammad, Telegram “Does BlockCAT have any plans to integrate with other platforms?” — Joomorrow, Discord

The release of Cryptokitties has taken the Ethereum world by storm. This is unprecedented for the network, as we’ve never seen sustained transaction volume of this scale before. Many of our community members have been asking us for our thoughts on this, and whether or not we feel like a different blockchain would be worth utilizing.

We feel that the Ethereum foundation has shown a stellar track record in its operation and leadership of the Ethereum platform. Several scaling strategies and second layer infrastructure are already in the works, such as EIP 648, a parallelization strategy, and Plasma, which will take the network to its next level of global support.

At this time, Ethereum still remains the primary market for smart contracts and decentralized applications, and we have no intention of moving away from it. We constantly survey the Blockchain ecosystem and will always adapt to what the best platform for our needs is.

TL;DR

Cryptokitties shows what needs to change about Ethereum, but they’re doing it. No plans to switch, but we’d consider it if there was reason to.
