Welcome to the twenty-fourth edition of the Expanse Newsletter for 2017. This publication is a bi-monthly newsletter issued on the 1st and 15th of each month to share happenings within our community. Keep in mind that breaking news can come at any time, but the Expanse Newsletter is a great overview of progress, news, and our current focus.















EXCHANGE NEWS

Right now we are setting up a partnership with the decentralized exchange, Cryptobridge, https://crypto-bridge.org/ This partnership will not only be for Expanse and Tokenlab™, but for future projects launched on Tokenlab. We will help the exchange gain attention and bring in liquidity, while having the freedom to add Tokenlab (LAB) and other projects launched on the platform, in return. This is close to a done deal, and we are working out the final details. (Cryptobridge management has granted us permission to share this news.) This is looking like it will be a great, mutually-beneficial relationship: Helping Tokenlab and our clients by having a guaranteed exchange, and in turn, helping Cryptobridge, a very well-designed, decentralized exchange, gain the attention, volume, and liquidity they seek.

We are also in negotiations to purchase a Chinese Exchange. We have been marketing and working over the last year with our Chinese ambassador from this exchange. Both teams are now weighing this option. As we have continued to deepen this relationship, this is a real possibility and not just hype. Buying some Chinese exchange does not mean buying some exchange in China that opens up and tries to take on Chinese regulators. Instead, we are on track to buy the very valuable, closed source code and then relaunching and rebranding the centralized exchange elsewhere outside of China’s control. If this happens, it would be done with the Expanse team and with a team from China working together. This is a very exciting option but will take time and is still in process. In short, we should have the decentralized exchange coming soon, and the possibility of a traditional centralized exchange for Expanse, Tokenlab, and many other cryptos, launching later.





EXPANSE MEETUPS AROUND THE WORLD

We have plans for Expanse meetups and an exciting new ambassador program. Meeting people in person directly and speaking to them with presentations, is a very powerful way to get people interested in the project. The timing for launching these new initiatives will be after the new Expanse website is complete, as we need a dynamic site that can quickly be updated and adapt to all the new information that is always coming in. So the upcoming website revamp is closely connected to the plan to have meetups around the world.

We have seen some interest from Africa recently, and some Expanse community members who are setting up a Meetup in Africa shared this flyer with us. Additionally, we have a very strong presence in South America due to partnerships, and we plan on lots of marketing and meetups with presentations in South America. Omar Alvarez, CEO of our Guatemala-based partner Gameboard, is already planning presentations and speaking events about Expanse down there, so we anticipate growth in South America with some related key events to come in the future.

EXPANSE WEBSITE REVAMP

Although the current Expanse.tech™ website has served us well, the design is not dynamic making updating less efficient. We also believe it is important to stand out and not be like all the other boring crypto websites that blend together. People tend to lose attention if they are all alike after you have seen enough of them. As Expanse has unique selling points, we plan to build a much more creative and dynamic website—one that will have a powerful impact for visitors, with a design that is easy to update given the new and constantly changing information generated by the Expanse.tech™ project.

We know this is a concern for the community. We hear you, and this is a key focus for the team. We understand how vital this is, and since there is so much information and news happening now, the current site is really not designed well enough to handle modifications as it should. Once the new site is launched, the revamped website will also have a much more powerful impact when people first try to learn about Expanse, rather than just a nice website that appears like many others that people might just browse and forget. This new website, in contrast, will be designed to be unforgettable, so we can stand out from the crowd and be noticed.









AXIA PUBLIC RELATIONS NEWS UPDATE

Axia has helped set up some big interviews with major press, so now we are just waiting to see when they run those stories, and of course, this is ongoing and more interviews are in the process of being negotiated and pitched to the press. So far, six interviews have taken place. When these articles are published they will be in major news publications and give instant mainstream attention to Expanse. So stay tuned, as articles could come out at any moment now.

Now that crypto is going more mainstream, Christopher Franko is being pitched and sought out as an industry expert to provide opinions and to educate consumers by major publications, including Forbes, The New York Times and Fortune Magazine. This obviously is a time-consuming process, but building a brand to get global attention is not a trivial undertaking. Besides, we just need one major story to take off, and as six of the interviews are already done, any one of them could be published at any moment.

If or when they are, we will inform the community and share at once. We are also keeping a close eye on the metrics and evaluating how this is going, but in general, we are very excited about the potential and just waiting for our moment to shine.

INTERLEDGER PROTOCOL OF RIPPLE XRP



Expanse is one of the first Alternative Blockchain projects to join ILP, Interledger protocol of Ripple. There are a few “Internet of Blockchain” projects out there, but this is perhaps the most promising of them all. Expanse is staying ahead of the curve and ready, just in case this works out and is a success. It is an open source project and anyone can join, but the Expanse team was one of the first to sign up to be a part of it back in September 2016.

SHOPPING WITH EXPANSE MADE EASY BY COINPAYMENTS



You can shop at many merchants right now using the Coinpayments Platform. We are one of the Alternative Tokens listed on Coinpayments, and they are a reliable trustworthy payment provider that works much like Bitpay does for Bitcoin.
