It has been a very busy week for Oyster. We announced earlier this week that we are accepting invitations for the beta testing phase of the Oyster protocol; however, there are several other exciting developments for Oyster that we will be detailing in this post.

KuCoin Participating in SHL Airdrop

First, we are delighted to announce that KuCoin will be participating in the Oyster SHL Airdrop. This news means that for those individuals storing their PRL on a KuCoin wallet, they will receive Oyster SHL at the same 1:1 ratio during the Airdrop. More information regarding KuCoin’s participation in the Airdrop will be available early next week.

Oyster Working with Transform Group

Another exciting development for Oyster is that we are working alongside the Transform Group to bolster Oyster’s presence in the public realm. Transform Group is the leading blockchain public relations, advisory, and marketing agency in the world, and has been an undisputed leader in blockchain marketing since 2013.

The Transform Group has represented more than 150 companies, organizations and projects in the sectors since 2013, and more than 40 token crowd sales (ICOs), including many prominent names such as Ethereum, Dash, ShapeShift, Kraken, and Storj. Through their network, Transform Group has placed its clients in prominent feature stories in Bloomberg, Forbes, TechCrunch, the BBC, and USA Today. The Transform Group has been instrumental in improving our public profile for both SHL and PRL over the last few weeks, and we are very excited to continue working with them as Oyster moves forward.

Future Tech Podcast Feature

Finally, Oyster will be featured on the Future Tech Podcast. We will be providing more information regarding our appearance on the podcast next week.

Summary

The Oyster team has been ramping up on all fronts as we approach the release of the Oyster Mainnet. Oyster’s growth in the first quarter of 2018 has been astonishing, and we are continually striving to extend our reach in the public domain to ensure the success of our product. As always, if any of our community members have questions or comments, we encourage them to be posted to our reddit or the Oyster Knowledge Telegram channel.
