MARKETING AND BUSINESS UPDATES

Proof of Stake Web-Wallet-as-a-Service

As you might recall from our March 31 blog entry (link here), then-CEO Brian Oliver said, "The PoS web wallet... will be our first real product that we can then sell to other projects." This week, we have made significant strides towards making that a reality.

Luxcore's Proof of Stake Web-Wallet-as-a-Service, tentatively called Lux WebWallet, is the first staking WaaS compatible with literally all Proof of Stake blockchains. Materials are being developed to support an imminent marketing campaign wherein Luxcore will seek to monetize the WaaS with other blockchain projects who wish to integrate a staking web wallet into their own ecosystem. This will be accomplished via licensing agreements.

We'd like to share some of what we've been working on to support the Lux WebWallet marketing campaign. The first is the Lux WebWallet landing page, featuring extensive information about the Lux WebWallet's features, infrastructure and application. It also includes a sign-up form for projects interested in participating. Check it out below!

We've also developed what we believe is a rather sexy video trailer to serve as a quick introduction to the Lux WebWallet. This is something we plan to leverage across multiple platforms once the marketing campaign is underway. Check it out below!

For those who want a bit more hands-on information about the functionality and usage of the Lux WebWallet, we've created a walkthrough video, narrated by Yours Truly. This is a handy primer on how to use the Lux WebWallet - not just for Lux, but for any project that may be interested in licensing it. Check it out below!

And lastly, as you might have already seen earlier this week, we created a Blog post which we plan to leverage as a press release in support of the upcoming Lux WebWallet marketing campaign. If you haven't read it yet, you should. Check it out below!
