Business Development

We have a heavy focus on collaboration as part of our desire to integrate various initiatives and build a truly healthy ecosystem. Below are technologies we are exploring:

Cosmos — Making BNT a cross blockchain token, reducing number of required hops for converting any token to any other.

Waves — BNT on Waves blockchain and smart tokens on Waves upcoming smart contracts

Lykke — New opportunities made possible thanks to the recently announced Lykke Ethereum Integration.

Smart tokens deployment

There are many Smart Tokens in various stages of smart contract implementation. They are all independent ventures that have chosen to use Bancor protocol technology. Some of the use cases include:

Asset Tokenizers (Similar to Digix, for other types of assets)

Decentralized Messaging Platforms

Blockchain-related hardware and devices

Token-based Venture Funds (Similar to ICONOMI, TaaS)

Financial Services

Game Tokens

User-Generated Content

Payment Gateways

Loyalty Marketing

Community Currencies, existing and new

And many more…

Spreading the message

It’s not trivial to fully understand the core value of the Bancor protocol, just as it’s not trivial to understand smart contracts, even today. We are putting in place infrastructure to create high quality content, instructional and educational materials around these topics and more. In the meantime, we continue to pound the pavement and share the benefits of Bancor with key stakeholders.

1 Year Anniversary

We have just celebrated one year since we began to work on Bancor (21-Aug-2016), and what an amazing year this has been for us and for many. We plan to release a monthly update around the 21st of every month in honor of this milestone, and look forward to sharing even more specifics around what you can expect in our next communication.

We can’t thank you enough for being on this journey with us, in any capacity.

Happy September,

The Bancor Team
