Today, TrustNote have announced that a competition will take place to decide TrustNote Software Developers Network (“TSDN”)’s official Mascot. Designers and members of the public will be invited to submit Mascot design proposals. There will be an innovative judging process whereby a panel of 8 TrustNote community members across the globe will select the winning set of designs from a shortlist based on public vote.

We invite all community members to put their creativity to work and help TSDN design a friendly, fun, playful, and colorful Mascot!

TrustNote is an open source software project that is challenging today’s blockchains who have not embraced true decentralization, prohibiting the innovators and future thinkers from creating the change they want to see in the world. TrustNote is exists to make development easy, fast and scalable, and to bring trust to an untrusting environment so you can — dream — invent — and create without constraint!

TSDN, the TrustNote Software Developers Network is a place where developers can find APIs, sample code and documentation that teaches him/her how to build decentralized applications running on a fast, scalable, and truly decentralized blockchain powered by TrustNote.

The target audience for TSDN are software developers, innovators, and makers who are trying to develop truly decentralized applications. The Mascot should fit with the general open source aesthetic, which is friendly, fun, playful, and colorful. It should be something that a developer would want to wear on a T-shirt.

The contest runs from 17th Sept to 30th Nov 2018 and is open to ALL.
