Dear BLOCKv Community,

The day has finally come — we are proud to unveil the BLOCKv Platform (Beta) and the Developer Portal to you! It’s never been easier to build smart digital objects that bring the digital world to life. The promise of supporting our developer community to help usher in a new experiential economy is here.

The BLOCKv Platform — Your Interface to Blockchain:

Our platform makes it easy to:

Build digital objects of value on or off blockchain through vAtoms

Lower the costs and time to market entry, reducing the complexity mask to blockchain applications

Generate revenue from selling, redeeming and exchanging digital objects

Create new communication channels to engage and interact with users

Transact using digital objects (e.g. exchange, purchase, and market)

Platform at a Glance:

The last three years have been quite the journey, with many lessons learned along the way. Scaling to deliver on the promise of a new virtual goods economy required careful planning and strategic execution. In this first iteration of the platform release, you will have access to:

APIs

REST/JSON based endpoints to interact with the platform and enable developers to build custom templates and viewers that provide the end user with immersive experiences.

Mobile SDKs

Easy-to-integrate SDKs that wrap the API. The SDKs provide iOS and Android developers seamless access to the platform capabilities and enables them to build their own vAtom wallet apps.

Looking ahead, there’s a lot more built into the platform that will become publicly available through the portal. With this beta release, today, we are starting to accept applications to access our platform. The first 20 selected developers will get their access keys and credentials within 2 weeks. In addition 100,000 VEE will be granted to the new developers to enable them to start creating and emitting vAtoms (5,000 VEE per developer). The next wave of developers will be onboarded within the following 2 weeks, etc. This staged rollout will deliver the level of support necessary to meet our customers needs and prepare us for the full public launch end of Q2, 2018.
