Finally, we unveiled our new Shanghai office with a hardware incubator soon accelerating the hardware development of our platform.

Our Shanghai team hard at work in our shiny new offices.

And last but not least, here is a supercut video of the ecosystem launch event!

Last month we made major development updates to Skycoin, and you can expect many more to come over time. We also published an article on our proprietary Obelisk consensus mechanism that you will hear more about in the coming weeks and months.

Technology for Visionaries

The Skycoin team is building technology that will fundamentally change the world, and we encourage you to dive deep into our whitepapers to get a strong understanding of our team’s vision for the Skycoin platform. Last month we released our official business whitepaper as well as a tl;dr of the whitepaper, just in case you are a visionary and short of time for reading!

Financing the Future — United Nations Talk

Skycoin has been pushing forward on all fronts, and was included in the blockchain conversations happening at the UN. Check out Prof. Dr. Stefan Brunnhuber’s UN Talk in Geneva where Skycoin’s Skyledger (Fiber) and Obelisk technologies receive praise for sustainability in the future.

“Consensus Bull” Be Damned, It Was Still a Great Time!

Skycoin was excited to attend Consensus this year for many reasons, and we hope our community members and professional peers got as much out of the conference as we did. We showed up eager to add to the ranks of Skyfleet by showing off our innovative technology and regularly flashing a Skyminer in peoples’ envious faces. The Skyminer sure turns heads and when they hear about what we are building with it, the Skycoin vision opens minds as well.

We were also asked to do a live segment on NASDAQ Trade Talks during Consensus, which was a great opportunity for Danish to update NASDAQ and everyone who tuned in with the latest details on the Skyminer testnet!

Consensus was a massive success thanks to our dedicated PR team and passionate Skyfleet community advocates.

The Kitties are Coming!

We hope you also heard a bit about our good friends over at KittyCash, an early Skycoin Fiber adopter. They have also had an exciting series of recent developments ranging from their successful alpha release and upcoming initial kitty offering, or “IKO”, to their exciting “KittyDrop” of airdropped kitties right around the corner!

Skyfleet Creative Expansion — Video Contest Extension

Having added to our ranks significantly in the past month, we are excited to announce that we are pushing back the due date on the Skyfleet Community Video Contest to Friday, June 15th.

Our community has been very occupied with building their Skyminers and getting them set up for testnet, and after attending and hosting events around the world we have an excited new inrush of community members who we’d like to give a fair chance to participate in our video contest. Get some skin in the game, show us your creative side and earn a pile of SKY and your very own Skyminer!

Skyfleet Testnet Expansion — Another Batch of Skyminers

Ready and waiting to form the backbone of the new internet…

The Skywire testnet has successfully launched with over 4,000 nodes on the Skywire network and counting. On the heels of that tremendous success, we are expanding the testnet squad with another batch of official Skyminers to be available soon! We’ve opened up our official Skyminer waitlist again, so don’t miss your chance to run our first-generation Skyminer and help test Skywire with us!

Our community is ravenous as ever lately, and for a long time they’ve been harping about exchanges and availability of $SKY, so it is our pleasure to bring your attention to your most recent listings on Chaoex and Bitrabbit:

Chaoex was excited to list Skycoin earlier this month

Bitrabbit also brought Skycoin markets to their new exchange

What’s next for Skycoin…

We’ve delivered a lot in the past few months, but there is still a lot of work to be done so you can expect more to come in the near future. Next week we’ll be showcasing a mobile Skycoin wallet that was created by our Skyfleet community members, major partnerships are in the works and will be announced soon, and we are constantly working with top exchanges to make sure Skycoin is listed as widely as possible.
