Japan, Singapore and team connections…

The Indorse team spent the last two weeks touring Japan alongside our partners at Startuptoken. This was our first roadshow in Japan and was well received. On April 4th, I spoke about Indorse at Beyond Blocks in Tokyo and had an excellent time meeting the local community. On April 10th, I spoke on a panel at the RSK event in Tokyo about the challenges and opportunities associated with building blockchain applications.

Dipesh was also on a panel at the De/Centralize conference in Singapore along with other luminaries from the industry like KC Chng from Digix and Pavel from Bluzelle.

Indorse was also featured as one of the “hottest startups in Singapore” in this piece by Singapore Business Review — http://sbr.com.sg/sites/default/files/singaporebusinessreview/print/SBR_FEBMAR18-18-28-31.pdf

Additionally, we concluded our initial beta test of the naive AIP validation mechanism where we got about 25 claims, with 19 of them getting validated on the platform. This gave us a lot of insight into how to improve the algorithm and communication and on how to further develop our smart contract for skills validation.

On the development side, we released two external features and one internal feature. These features allow us to on-board more companies for the company pages, while also making sure that our team can keep track of the badges issued and the skills validated on the platform. We have also started focusing heavily on our next big Smart Contract — Anonymous Indorsement Protocol (AIP).

Jack Tanner has been doing a lot of R&D for upgradeable Smart Contracts and has produced an awesome Github repository as well as a series of blog posts and articles. You can find them here — https://github.com/indorseio/upgradeable-proxy. I really think that we can lead the development efforts on this front and deliver something really awesome to the open source community!
