If we position ODIN Blockchain into the current mix of projects as a platform to “Build Privacy-Oriented Apps”, we are simply following the crowd and self-indulgent at best. The other projects are already well established, with large communities, more funding, and established technologies.

We should be smarter about how we position ODIN Blockchain to stand a chance in the long term. We should also leverage our new-to-market position by highlighting the more modern code libraries we are building, which should enable a wider range of developers to access and extend our code going forwards.

The purpose of ODIN Blockchain

In the White paper, the focus was to build decentralized privacy-focused mobile applications. However, while this sounds like a very smart thing to do, this does not define the problem we are trying to solve and certainly does not differentiate us from the rest of the crowd. The ecosystem as a whole is changing and we need to adapt. The original purpose we defined is becoming less relevant.

Does privacy require a solution?

An app or website user with no formal education is less likely to be aware of the different ways they are being tracked simply by signing up to a Facebook account. In addition, many people across all age ranges in both developing and developed countries are still largely unaware of how much of their private data is being used.

While Privacy is a human right, one of the major problems with it is that it is not accessible to everyone.

Below are everyday cases of varying scale of privacy is being breached and depending on various factors about a person will impact their ability to manage this. ODIN Blockchain has a role in helping to solve this accessibility challenge.
