Roadmap

Another week goes by and some more great things have happened. Our biggest news this week was the release of our updated roadmap. For anybody that missed it, be sure to check it out

We’re planning to begin our rapid development cycles as outlined in the roadmap before the end of Q4, at which point you’ll see new contracts being launched on a regular basis with tons of community involvement.

Hiring

The second major part we discussed in the roadmap is our new team structure. One of the roles we were hiring for is an Internal Coordinator.

The BlockCAT internal coordinator is the person who holds all of the different threads in their hands and prevents the operation from unravelling. They take the majority of the scheduling and daily burden off the key players in BlockCAT to ensure they can be focusing on exactly what they need to do. Our internal coordinator also ensures that all of the BlockCAT departments are staying in close communication, so that everybody can work in unison towards a common goal.

We’re excited to welcome Courtney, our new Internal Coordinator, to the team. Once we’ve completed all our new hires we’ll introduce everyone to the community.

Exchanges

Speaking of community, the 2nd Binance community vote goes live this weekend. We’ve applied, so hopefully we’ll be included in the vote again. This time we’ve been given advanced knowledge of when the voting round begins!

Voting time: From 2017/9/30/ 4:00 PM (UTC) to 2017/10/05 10:00 AM (UTC).

Edit: Updated to correct dates

Even though last time we were up against some really huge coins, we encourage everyone to still vote. It shows Binance that we have a dedicated community, even if it’s smaller than others, and that helps with our paid application for listing (which is still ongoing).

Etherscan

We recently released an open source Solidity Flattener tool which our team created to help with internal development. What’s exciting, is that Etherscan now officially recommends our tool for smart contract verification.

We’re huge advocates of Etherscan and the service they provide the whole Ethereum community is incredibly valuable. So we’ll be sure to keep supporting this tool moving forwards and continue releasing open source tools we create in the future.

Something fun

The official name for the smallest unit of CAT is Kit.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kit = 1 CAT (1 * 10¹⁸ Kit)

This week there was a community vote to name 1 Trillion Kit.

We decided to allow users to enter their own possible names. This was where everything went horribly wrong. We expected to end up with something like “KittyMcCatFace”. Turned out to be much worse.

We appreciate your creativity, as there was some excellent suggestions. For now, we’re leaving the unit of 1 Trillion Kit unnamed. Either way it’s still worth checking out the current suggestions for a good laugh.

See you next week!
