New ODIN Resources 📑

We are working with several key ODIN collaborators behind the scenes to put together an improved repository of updated and accurate materials including a completely re-written whitepaper with far more detail and technical information about our current technological offerings, decentralization roadmaps, and future plans. We believe this repository of information is a key component that is currently missing, or at least lacking in quality compared to our aspirations for ODIN.

We look forward to sharing this with you once it is completed, and are looking at first to share a ‘lite’ version of the new Whitepaper, as not to keep you waiting too long! This will help us to be more understood as a project, and better positioned as a candidate for relevant partnerships and listings.

Collaborating developers 💻

Many of the developers working on ODIN technologies are heads down, focusing on building and simply getting stuff done. We have been collating existing projects that are in progress, including ODIN.CHAT and ODIN.MASH, and many other small, medium and larger products and services together on an all-encompassing Trello board titled ‘ODIN Technologies’. Some of these products, tools, and services will make their way into our new Whitepaper, and several of them warrant their own technical whitepapers in due course. We are hopeful that this will aid other developers in the future to understand how to implement, extend and build off ODIN Blockchain.

₿itcoin Talk

We mentioned last week that a priority would be to update our Bitcoin Talk ANN Thread and we did this with some new imagery to help the audience on there discover what we have in store. If you are on BitcoinTalk, we encourage you to help answer questions that people may have on this thread. This is because it is a very important component of the application process for many listing sites and exchanges.

Community growth 🌱

As we have progressed with constant progress and updates, in particular over the past three months, collectively we have seen constant growth and engagement across all of our social and community channels. In particular, Twitter and Telegram have been stand-out channels for positive engagement with new people only just discovering ODIN.

In fact, there are now several thousand people in ODIN communities. We think it would be great to see even more engagement with new users and to find out what ideas and projects are happening in every corner of ODIN.

Exchanges, listings, and partnerships 🤝

As a community project with no initial coin offering (ICO)or initial exchange offering (IEO), we are all working voluntarily on a raft of project areas. Many large and reputable exchanges look to help out on this front when they spot healthy communities with strong values, working products, innovative community projects, and well-written documentation properly explaining the purpose, vision, and technology. As mentioned before — many of us are collectively writing this documentation, but it does take a lot of time and effort to do it right.

ODIN is listed on Altilly, Cryptobridge, CoinGecko, Delta.app, Blockfolio, Blocknet, and many more places. Our new Whitepaper and other official information about ODIN and the technologies we are continuing to improve as more community collaborators become involved in ODIN.

Our market capitalization has been growing at a healthy and steady pace from around $690k to approximately $1.08M over the past week, based on the latest figures on CoinGecko’s cryptocurrency listings site.

Public Launch Dates 🚀

We do not set ‘completion dates’ as we all perceive our work to be ongoing, with iterative improvements made as we continue to innovate, build, and deliver on our collective vision.

Our flagship working product, ODIN.CHAT is already released — but only to a growing group of community User Acceptance Testers (UAT) and the developers pushed out a new version with a bunch of bug fixes and feature updates over the last weekend. The focus right now is on finalizing the implementation of the design work (the User Interface, or UI). It is all looking amazing, and likely ready for us to plan a public launch date soon, dependant on the final throughput testing, and everyone’s availability to ensure our awesome community is on-hand to help support new users during the launch window.
