Matchpool Weekly Recap for the Week of May 6–13th 2017

Hello and welcome the first ever weekly news recap of the Matchpool team. The goal of this piece is to give investors, enthusiasts, and users an idea as to what is going on behind the scenes and what to expect from the team going forward. We will be publishing a weekly recap on the Sunday of each week going forward.

Consensus 2017

We are pleased to announce that our CEO, Yonatan Ben Shimon will attend the largest Blockchain event of the year to represent Matchpool. The event is being held in New York City on May 22–24, 2017 and will feature some of the most prominent names in the blockchain industry. We believe that having our CEO go to an event as grand as consensus will allow for Matchpool to gain name recognition and get notoriety as one of fintech’s hottest start ups.

Livecoin, Bounties, and our Innovation Contest

As of Friday May 13th, 2017, a famous British Exchange, Livecoin officially listed our Guppy token. We are very excited to be working with such an awesome exchange that continues to innovate on new fronts. The Livecoin listing will be the fourth exchange to feature our token. Although our token may be trading lower than initially anticipated we are still very much excited, passionate and driven to deliver a great product. Starting with our Alpha release in Q3 we will start having users test out the platform and give feedback as to what they liked and disliked. Matchpool has also launched an innovation contest, where users can give some feedback about creative ways to use the platform. Users with the most innovative responses will win one of four Matchpool tees given out during the contest, which concludes next week on May 16th. In other news, Matchpool’s Bounty program has officially concluded as of Saturday May 13 — Paying out a total of 2 million guppy tokens (2% of total supply). Thank you to everyone who participated in the bounty program, we are looking forward to implementing your ideas and creations in our platform. Lastly, we are very happy to announce the launch of Matchpools’ official Steemit Page, starting this weekend we are going to be rolling out our official company page on Steemit
