Wait… don’t you know yet what Witnet is? /👁/ That’s outrageous! Stop what you are doing and read this 3 minutes primer or take a look at our whitepaper.

Hi there, Witnet community! As you might know, every month we update you on our work towards the milestones set in our project roadmap. Today we want to share what we have been up to over the last month, the challenges we have met and the progress we have made towards our first milestone: the Witnet prototype.

💰 Fundraising

We’ve now finalized the accounting of the WIT token pre-sale. These are the figures:

250M WIT tokens were pre-sold for $7,593,514.62

The price per token was $0.030374058

This gives us a healthy runway, enough to hit our next milestones:

Prototype: September 2018.

Testnet: January 2019

Mainnet Launch: Q4 2019

Also, during our sale we have agreed on partnership with amazing teams: Reflective Ventures, the RChain VC arm, who contributed $3M; Aragon and district0x.

💜 Team

During June we’ve introduced you to Mario, a full-stack engineer and scrum master who has joined our technical team to contribute to the development of the protocol.

We’ve also been lucky to have a full-stack developer join our team over the past weeks. You’ll get to know more about him soon through our Team Insights.

We still have open positions, so if you are aware of the impact a decentralized oracle network will have on the crypto landscape, be sure to check them out!
