Mainnet, mainnet and the mainnet…

You might have guessed it already, Indorse is on the mainnet now! Yesterday we published our Connections contract on the mainnet, after running a formal security audit and a public bug bounty program. You can find it here — https://etherscan.io/address/0x75d884981d814d676b4b6930038ee9887129b639 What a run it has been, I would say… After completing our ICO back in September, growing our team to about 18 people over a period of 6 months, we have finally launched our platform on the mainnet now, after a thorough testing, audit and bug fixing phase.

The next steps are to start have advisors sign the transactions on the Smart Contract to prove that they are actually advisors to projects. We eat our own dog food, and are going to start with the Indorse company page itself. Over the next few days, we are going to request our advisors to do it, followed by Startuptoken and then Kyber Network.

While we test out in the real world with these few initial advisors, we are also working on Metamask integration, which will make it easier for the next bunch of companies and advisors to sign the transactions and prove their connection. Avadhoot recently wrote another blog post about how easy it is to create a scam ICO, and we hope that initiatives like ours will help reduce the scams in the Blockchain and ICO ecosystem. We have also started integration with Civic in order to make sure that the advisors signing these transactions have a validated profile.

In other news, we spoke and presented about Indorse at a few conferences in the last week. I was in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, to present about Indorse and also 2 panels — one about Blockchain Scalability and the second about Consortiums and Alliances. Meanwhile, David and Rick presented at another conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The blockchain ecosystem in SEA (South East Asia) is growing by leaps and bounds, and people really like what we are doing.
