What does your roadmap for the next six months look like?

Right now we are focused entirely on growing our community, continuously improving our hardware, our native apps and of course on getting everything in place to start tokenising our platform. We’re among the first OST Partners to actually mint our own Branded Token by staking real OST on Mainnet, so we’re definitely on top of things. The goal is to introduce token-backed tournaments in the first quarter of 2019.

Ben, ConnectScale has been around for three years now — are there any plans to expand into other markets?

We’re actually considering applying our experience and technology to other outdoor recreation verticals. Considering the outdoor industry is one of America’s biggest economic sectors, with nearly $900 billion in annual consumer spending, it makes sense to start exploring other markets!

Last but certainly not least, why blockchain and why OST?

That’s easy: If you want to tokenise your business with the help of microtransactions, there’s no getting around blockchain. On top of that, we believe smart contracts will pave the way for fraud-proof contests like the Catch Weigh Release Tournaments organised by members of the community.

As far as we can tell, OST is the only project offering everything you need to launch a token economy, without having to hire blockchain developers. The fact that their protocols will soon allow for thousands of transactions per second, on-chain, is exactly what we’re looking for in a blockchain partner.

We’ve been with OST right from the beginning, and I can’t wait to introduce ConnectCoin to our community of anglers!

Thank you very much, Ben!
