Open Platform ICO: Raising the Bar For Blockchain Payment Solutions
If you are a developer and have yet to hear of Open Platform then you have some catching up to do. Open Platform is the new decentralized payment solution which will support Dapp/apps payments; in almost any cryptocurrency, across almost any blockchain. The Open Protocol infrastructure is allowing devs to bypass payment intermediaries who charge exorbitant fees and have many barriers of entry. The Open Protocol can be integrated seamlessly into apps back-end systems without using any complicated coding languages (such as Solidity or Rholang); ease of use will definitely lead to greater adoption and better payment alternatives for users. This will be achieved using Open Platform’s innovative Open State (Verification/Validation) and Open Scaffold (Payment Processing) gateways; which offer both devs and customers the highest level of security and privacy beyond what is available today.
Open Platform has launched its’ ICO and has hit its’ hard cap in private sale which indicates the road to success is clear. Nevertheless, Open hasn’t stopped there and has been very busy promoting and developing the platform. Let’s look at some of the things going on with Open Platform these days.
Jeremy Gardner, one of the founders of Augur and notable investor in the cryptosphere, has made a sizable investment in the Open Platform Project. Jeremy has been very active in cryptocurrency world and has invested in various successful projects to date. What makes Jeremy’s investment meaningful is that he is not only an investor, but also a developer. With his experience working on blockchain projects, he has the insight to judge whether a project is a viable idea or not. Having garnered his confidence in Open is a very positive sign. As well as Jeremy, Tim Draper (Also a well known investor in the cryptocurrency community), has made a significant investment in Open via his Tim Draper Dragon Fund (and yes, they only invest in dragons!).Tim’s various VC’s have participated in many different blockchain projects. With his experience in both finance and cryptocurrency, his involvement in Open Platform is a sign that Open has undergone and passed rigorous due diligence test.
Money is important, but without a community of devoted developers behind the project, all efforts would be meaningless. The team at Open Platform is well aware of this; and have been busy getting the word out and on-boarding developers from around the world! The team was recently at the Deconomy Conference held in South Korea last April; holding its’ own alongside the likes of Ripple (XRP), EOS, and Sir Vitalik. South Korea is one of the leading markets for cryptocurrencies and app development, so it was very wise of the Open team to be there evangelizing the developer community about the advantages of using Open Platform. Unfortunately, many good development teams are not as equally adept at community building which impedes adoption. However, the team at Open Platform has gather not only the best developers to build out their protocol’s infrastructure, but also marketing pros in the field to help make Open Platform a household name in the developer community.
As mentioned, Open has both the areas of money and marketing covered; and the most integral of all the product itself; the Open platform as well. The team has successfully launched its testnet and all system are go for a launch of its’ MVP (Open 1.0) in Q3 of 2018. The name itself, Open Platform, speaks of the inclusivity of the platform. Open to all developers (regardless of the programming language they are familiar with) and open to all users; regardless of the crypto currency the choose to pay in for the services offer via apps/Dapps. An “Open” environment is what was lacking from the centralized environment that app developers have been faced with until now. Now with Open Platform the playing field has been leveled; in favor of an “open” and inclusive one which will benefit both developers and users of various app/Dapps. Thank you Open Platform.
