Right now we are working in four directions:

Integration

This is the largest part in terms of coding. Brokers and exchanges have a lot of different APIs and other ways of integrations. However, our team has significant expertise in integrations development for the most popular trading platform — MetaTrader. These modules are already in development and we even had a chance to test them during two Genesis Vision trading tournaments in the course of ICO. We plan to finish smart contract integration modules(investing and profit distribution) development by the end of this year. The risk management system for the brokers is scheduled to be completed by mid-February 2018.

As we already mentioned (https://blog.genesis.vision/genesis-vision-further-plans-a9069cd34eed), apart from the funding, we got a lot of good friends in cryptocurrency world. That’s why apart from the MetaTrader integration we will work on crypto exchanges integrations simultaneously. The mechanisms of integration with crypto exchanges differ from brokers’ integrations. It’s quite new for our team from the development perspective, and it’s quite new for the crypto exchanges form the functionality perspective. That’s why it will take more time for us. But we are in the process of negotiations already and will publish the list of exchanges for integration and some additional details a bit later.

Client applications

Oddly enough, this is the most complicated part for realization, considering the specificity of our project and the amount of information we need to display. To make it usable, we need a lot of specialists (design, UI/UX, trading specialists, developers, QA specialists, etc.). Withal, this is the most important part, since this is what our users are working with.

Initially, we planned to develop the applications for all platforms (web + mobile) and even launched a Demo application for Android. However, right now we believe that it’s better to focus on one platform to be able to launch it with the Alpha version timeline. And after the launch, when we test everything and get the feedback from the community, we’ll start working on client applications development for all remaining platforms.

We decided to start with the web version. This allows us to launch our Alpha in time and make it equally available for all users.

We plan to finish the development by 1st of April. But you can start tracking the progress, taking part in usability polls and leaving your feedback much earlier. We plan to have our client applications development process as interactive as possible.

Blockchain Platform

This is the most critical part of our platform. Parity, Tether and many other stories show us how costly mistakes in Blockchain applications can be. That’s why we need to spend a huge amount of time for the testing and audit.

We plan to finish the development by 1st of March and spend the whole month, till the 1st of April, for the quality assurance.

Marketing

Despite that launch date is set for the 1st of April, we are launching our marketing and PR activities already. At the current stage, the main goal is to attract the attention of maximum amount of market participants. For the nearest future we have 2 events planned:

NOVEMBER 29 AMSTERDAM

https://icoevent.eu

This is an event, focused on the ICO process and activities. Despite the fact, that our ICO is already finished, we think that it’s important to stay in touch with ICO community. We already scheduled a number of meetings with our current investors and that’s a good chance for us to meet with people in person, answer questions, share the details of our ICO and future plans.

DECEMBER 1 SOFIA

http://financeforum.investor.bg

Due to the nature of our project, we are not limited to cryptocurrency markets. Traditional financial markets and investors are important for us as well. Our project is aimed to remove the borders between these worlds, that’s why we believe it’s important to stay in touch with both of them.

The co-founder and CTO of Genesis Vision, Dmitry Nazarov will take part in this conference as a speaker. Additionally, he’ll join the panel discussion about cryptocurrency and blockchain investments as an expert.

Other plans

Apart from all this, we need to update our ICO web site. With the end of our ICO, our target audience and goals are changed. That’s why we need to update all information, focusing more on the Genesis Vision platform advantages and capabilities.

After we finalize all marketing materials, we’ll start actively working with existing client base of Tools For Brokers. We already discussed our platform with many brokers and got very positive feedback. However, most of them want to take a look at operating platform before announcing their joining to the Genesis Vision network officially.

First of all, we plan to attract brokers with their own fund managers client base. This will help us to increase our audience from the very beginning.

We are in the process of negotiations with some big brokers and exchanges. However, there is a possibility that we’ll be able to announce it only with the Alpha version started.

Anyways, we’ll keep our community updated on the progress since this is extremely valuable and important information.

Information for GVT holders.

We can see quite high activity and GVT trading volumes on the crypto exchanges. For sure, this is a positive moment. However, at the same time, we can see experienced traders and trading bots, trying to manipulate the GVT market, which has quite a low market cap at the moment.

At the current stage, GVT doesn’t have any real use until the Genesis Vision platform is released. That’s why the current rate is mostly speculative and can float in a significant range.

We call on our investors to keep calm and avoid rush acts in case of token price manipulations. Don’t panic, keep yourself updated with our roadmap and official announcements. Remember that our team members are available on our communication channels and you can always get answers to your questions there:
