LinkPool has already come so far since starting 18 months ago. In that time, we held a small yet successful crowdsale allowing us to pursue LinkPool properly, and without our communities contributions, we would in no way be where we are today so I’d like to personally thank all of you that contributed and believed in what we set out to do. Bartosz our frontend wizard also joined us shortly after our crowdsale and helped bring the staking app to life, and of course, because of Jonny's work with LinkPool’s infrastructure and technical prowess, he became an official member of the Chainlink team which strengthened our place in the community.

When we first started with the sole objective of providing an easy to use staking service, we had no idea how much broader our horizons would become. So in that light, I’d like to share a couple of updates regarding our team, branding, and what we’ve been working on.

The new look of LinkPool

New Team

I’m delighted to announce that we have brought on several new members to the LinkPool team alongside Jonny, myself and Bart. These people have already proven themselves invaluable to LinkPool and are helping us power ahead with our future products and outreach. Here, we provide a small introduction to our new teammates, and you can find a small bio on each member on our new site:

Bartosz: Even though Bart is not a new member of the team I feel he deserves some special recognition. Bart has been instrumental in bringing LinkPool to life, and because of him we were able to have a flawless launch of our staking dApp. By building a tangible product, it gave us real legitimacy in the Chainlink community and I don’t think we would be where we are today without him.

Ian: Ian has been an avid supporter of both Chainlink and LinkPool since day one, and has provided some great analysis on both the two. He is already owning our outreach objectives and helping formalize communication with our new clients, and as a result, I am proud to say he is now our Business Development Lead.

Panos: Panos is a talented and experienced Senior Software Engineer. He joined with some amazing enthusiasm and was able to pick up two new programming languages that we use in a very short space of time, and because of this was able to immediately share the workload with Jonny and massively accelerate the development of our upcoming service.

Avi: Many of you in the Chainlink community will know Avi (or Tokenized as he is commonly known in Telegram). Also a Community Manager for CLC Group, he is a fountain of Chainlink knowledge and is always there to answer any questions around Chainlink or LinkPool and as a result, earned the position of Telegram admin soon after we created the group.

Eric: Eric is another of our Community Managers on Telegram and Reddit, and also comes to us with a wealth of experience. He has shown great enthusiasm for assisting with any questions the community have and took the initiative to moderate and disseminate news on the appropriate Reddit channels, including our own subreddit /r/linkpool.

We are always on the lookout for talented, enthusiastic and proactive members of the Chainlink community to join our team. We are not looking for specific roles to fill, just people who share our vision. If you think you can bring something to our team, send an email to mat@linkpool.io

New Look

While our previous logo and branding served its purpose, we decided that as we grow and look to engage with more professional entities it was time to freshen up our look and pursue a stronger image and therefore sought a complete rebrand of LinkPool. Beginning today, our website, staking dApp, social media, and all our future products will have our new look and logo!

New Developments

With the expansion of our team and the recent Chainlink developments, and main-net drawing closer than ever before, we have been able to start pursuing avenues besides our staking service. Firstly, we’ve been ramping up our business outreach and talking with data providers and Chainlink stakeholders, understanding what their data requirements will look like and how we can help facilitate them. We are starting to look into and speak with insurance providers for our various offerings. There is a new unannounced service being worked on by the Engineering team that we hope will become an integral part of the Chainlink ecosystem, and we even have our first clients for our Consultancy and Managed Node service.

We are excited about what the future holds for Chainlink & LinkPool and hopefully, this is just the start!
