Engagement of blockchain PR professional services agency

One key priority that we have identified for the business going forward is to ramp up our marketing efforts and entrench a greater online presence across all platforms. We have engaged a reputable blockchain PR agency that has had experience working with other established blockchain companies and helped to drive their brand awareness. We look forward to working with them to drive future campaigns.

Update on hiring progress

There has been an overwhelming response for job applications across all functions of the team, from marketing to smart contract developers. The team has been busy with screening applicant profiles and conducting interviews to find the right fit to help grow the business.

We are proud to announce our first new hire, Nicholas Chua, a legal professional who was previously from one of the bigger commercial law firms in Singapore that is consistently ranked as a market leader in Singapore. While in his previous firm, he focused on projects relating to the public equities market but had a keen interest in the cryptocurrency space since the days of DigixDAO’s Crowdsale.

Nicholas will be key in helping Digix drive new market penetration and new product offerings and legal related matters with the jurisdictions where we operate in.

Progress on digixdao governance code audit

We are also pleased to announce that the DigixDAO Governance code is frozen for audit. We have been completing documentations for auditors’ reference.

Engagement with various well known Smart Contract auditors are ongoing at the moment and we will decide and choose the appropriately skilled company for the contracts.
