The few weeks following the TGE have been full of exciting developments. VEE has been distributed to contributors and bounty hunters, partnerships have developed and platform developer tools have taken a giant leap forward. We look forward to building the BLOCKv ecosystem with you.

Partnerships and Opportunities

The power of BLOCKv is being noticed by developers, agencies and big brands around the world. The demand for vAtoms has been astonishing. We are fielding calls and emails from interested parties on a daily basis and evaluating each opportunity. As expected, many of the engagements are being done under NDAs so we are limited in what we can announce at this time. But announcements with regards to partnerships are coming shortly so keep an eye out for BLOCKv news.

Opportunities are surfacing within the BLOCKv grant program. A partnership with Science Blockchain was announced earlier this month, which will include $500,000 of VEE awarded to developers to leverage the intelligence of ‘smart’ digital objects and transform current business models in a variety of verticals. Discussions with other organizations are ongoing and we look forward to growing the BLOCKv ecosystem through this program. Details on how you can apply for the program will be announced at BLOCKv.io first quarter 2018.

New vAtom Bounty Program

Our community is full of creative wizards who are dreaming up ideas to leverage vAtoms…and we can’t let that genius go to waste. In the coming weeks we will be announcing a new bounty campaign to harness the community’s collective creativity. As a special thank you to all TGE participants, we will be issuing a limited edition vAtom and as a bounty participant you will have the opportunity to submit your best idea for a “Thank You” vAtom for a chance to win a chunk of VEE. The winner will also be recognized along with the winning vAtom on the homepage of BLOCKv.io. Let the creative juices begin to flow while we finalize the bounty parameters. More info coming soon.

Exchanges

As in the case of all ICOs and TGEs, the community wants to know which exchanges BLOCKv will be listed on and when, which is natural. However, companies are taking different approaches to the way they are handling the exchange discussion. In the past, meaning a few months ago, companies were openly talking about exchanges post TGE because there was little to no regulatory guidance. As many people involved in the crypto space are aware, the regulatory landscape is constantly changing. VEE is a utility token and as such, we cannot facilitate the trading of the VEE token on the secondary market. However, we are permitted to share news with our community and will happily share with you when an exchange lists the VEE token. We have already received substantial interest from crypto exchanges so stay tuned for upcoming announcements.

Developer Roadmap

We are working hard internally to create vAtoms to showcase the power of the BLOCKv platform as well as provide potential partners with cutting edge use cases. However, we understand that the true power of BLOCKv will be in developers who create their own vAtoms for their own use cases. BLOCKv will empower developers to not only create vAtoms, but to also create businesses within the BLOCKv ecosystem.

Developer Toolkit Release

We are working on the release of developer tools and documentation to onboard individual developers along with business units interested in creating company specific vAtoms. We are aiming for a 1st quarter 2018 release of these tools. Included in the toolkit will be a viewer API, SDKs for Android and iOS as well as additional documentation in Github, a knowledge base, FAQs and a mechanism for technical support. We can’t wait to get the power of BLOCKv in your hands. Our developer roadmap will be updated on BLOCKv.io.

Marketplace Launch

We will be releasing a marketplace for vAtoms to be traded, shared, bought and sold, which will open doors for developers to fully benefit from vAtom creation.

Conference Participation

The BLOCKv team will be participating in a number of exciting events in the coming months. It is important that we continue to build the community that will create massively disruptive applications on our platform so we look forward to meeting you in-person.
