Bridge Community Update May 18th 2018
From token listings to mobile apps, we have some exciting news to share with you.
It’s been just over three months since the end of our ICO and we’ve been hard at work to deliver on our promises. The Bridge team has been busy developing our technology as well as locking down partnerships that will help take the technology we’re building to the regulated market, where it’s most needed.
We are excited and have great expectations for the future of identity management; we would like to show you why!
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be. -Khalil Gibran
Token Listings
“Where can I get IAM?”
We field this question, or its variations, quite frequently on our social media channels.
As marketing begins to ramp up, we want to be sure our community members can access IAM. The team has been working hard to bring IAM to the community and we are happy to announce our first TWO listings.
Bitpaction.com
Bitpaction is a fast-growing exchange that aims to provide highly liquid trading pairs while making it easy to make deposits and withdrawals. Built with the end user in mind, the exchange features a smooth user interface and friendly functionality.
IAM and Bitpaction will run promotions, social media campaigns and airdrops to celebrate the announcement.

BiteBTC.com
BiteBTC offers their customers a fiat gateway using the USD pairing. Put simply, BiteBTC allows traders to buy listed cryptocurrencies and tokens directly using USD. On many other platforms, traders have to buy BTC first before they’re able to buy other cryptos/tokens. This is a very exciting offering and we are pleased to open IAM up to this pairing.
Given its unique fiat gateway features, BiteBTC requires its new users to go through a KYC process before it verifies their accounts. Please be aware that this process can be time-consuming, especially with more traders looking to join the exchange to benefit from its features.
