Our seasoned followers bear witness that every month, we bring you something new and exciting. Accordingly, in September, we have kept our momentum going at full speed and came forward with major news. We presented the ground-breaking NOIA App, started transitioning to Programmable Internet Node, hired a new Marketing Manager, got mentioned on Entrepreneur.com, and reached some other milestones. This month, as per usual, we invite you to read the summary of our updates and keep track of our progress.

The NOIA App and transition to Programmable Internet Node

Since we came up with the idea of Programmable Internet, we wanted to make the technology accessible for everyone. In September, we are thrilled that NOIA is coming close to being ready for the product launch with the emphasis on the NOIA App. The latter is the solution for users in need of a faster, more efficient connection. With the NOIA App, in just one click of a button, anyone and anywhere will be able to improve their Internet’s efficiency substantially. Just as a trader will be able to obtain the best possible connection to an online exchange, the gamer will to an online match, and so on. If you are excited about the App and want to be among the first users who try the early version, we encourage you to join the waiting list.

Together with the App announcement, we started the transition process from the NOIA Cache to the NOIA Programmable Internet node and consequently presented the new reward system for our node runners. Because we are moving towards the solution that can better take advantage of the Programmable Internet technology, we need our nodes to comply with certain requirements. Thus, to receive the highest possible reward, we encourage you to check whether your node is compliant with the latest changes.

We hired a new Marketing Manager

Meet Ieva Puodžiukaitė, our new Marketing Manager for NOIA Network. She has previously worked on various projects, ranging from communication campaigns of national importance to the promotion of tech firms at the technology marketing agency. As a result, Ieva joined our team with vast experience in marketing and communications related fields. We are thrilled that Ieva decided to create a better Internet with us, and we believe that she will successfully lead our marketing efforts for the upcoming future.

We made the first FMP snapshot

Many of you took interest when we launched the Foundational Members Program, and in September, we celebrated the end of its first successful month. In the course of the month, we have been checking your wallets by executing several random snapshots and one final snapshot on the 12th of September. Those who held the required amount of tokens for their assigned tranche of reward during all these snapshots, will be rewarded accordingly. We will distribute FMP rewards monthly, thus, if you are eligible, expect to receive yours until the 12th of October.

Development Updates

With the upcoming release of the NOIA App and the Programmable Internet Node, our developers are not lounging around. As you can imagine, bringing an inventive idea to reality is a tremendous challenge for all people involved. Because of that, we have hired and hiring new developers and continuing to work on our vision of a better Internet in full capacity. To give a broad idea for our non-technical followers, we are finishing designs for the NOIA App UI, implementing the initial NOIA App API (backend), improving the design of the existing code, and doing lots of testing. For all our techies, we invite you to delve deeper into the world of our developers and check out our Development Updates for 08.29–09.12 and 09.12–09.26.

Recognition on International Media

Once again, NOIA Network attracted the attention of international media. After Bill’s interview on Forbes, this time, we got mentioned on the Enterpreneur.com article, which outlines issues that the antiquated Internet infrastructure is facing and sheds some light on how NOIA Network, along with other startups, are trying to solve them. We got described as a blockchain startup that is disrupting the obsolete internet infrastructure with a decentralized approach and segment routing.
