Airbitz, a San Diego-based Bitcoin start-up, seems to be making the most of 2016. Earlier this year, the company announced its expansion to Europe, and last month it partnered with the Dutch exchange Clevercoin to offer Buy/Sell feature in Eurozone.



Keeping its promise of being more than just a mobile app, the startup has announced its SDK which will be launched at the Bay Bit Hack this weekend.



The Airbitz app has been built on a mobile friendly Edge Security platform that enables a massive increase in privacy and security. Instead of storing data on centralized servers, Airbitz’ Edge Security platform decentralizes data storage, thereby eliminating the risk of data being compromised in case of a hacking attempt.



“The platform that our mobile app is built on can be used to secure many types of data, and it also provides all the blockchain functionality utilized by the Airbitz app. Now developers can sign up to use our SDK to try it out for themselves”, said M.K. Lords, Marketing/Community Manager of Airbitz, in a blog post. “Send & receive bitcoin and secure user data all in just a few lines of code for your iOS or Android mobile app.”



Airbitz will be presenting at several Meetups and events coming up soon to demonstrate the “monumental” potential of the SDK.



“It [SDK] will bring a lot of opportunities to developers looking for a cutting edge security solution for their data”, Lords told EconoTimes in an email.



Bay Bit Hack is the first collegiate hackathon dedicated to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Participants can enter to win $500 in bitcoin for the best use of Airbitz’ SDK. CEO and co-founder Paul Puey and Chief Architect William Swanson will be mentoring attendees throughout the event.
