We have been busy on-boarding talent from all over the globe and now is a good time to introduce our newest team members.

In some cases, a few of these folks have weeks/months of contributions already in their pocket.

Ebb and Flow

We’re approaching the 1 year anniversary of the Particl genesis block (17.07.17) and our open-source project has grown to a respectable quantity of active, privacy-focused products and applications.

All projects have long-term contributors and also phased contributors — who are brought on for specific tasks and specialized problem-solving.

Our team has grown as large as 24 members during the third quarter of 2017 as we prepared Particl Desktop, Particl Copay and Particl Cold Staking for launch. Most recently we saw a team downsize to around 17 members while the push to complete Particl Marketplace being priority #1.

New Additions

If you are familiar with our project at all you’ll know that we create, we build, we test and we innovate. With Particl Marketplace in alpha testing mode we are leveraging it to boost awareness for the privacy focused decentralized applications we’re building for Particl. If there’s one thing we’re damn good at it’s development!

To that end, let me introduce you to the new professionals that have joined Particl over the last quarter.
