Good day all,

Welcome to the monthly update for Nova Token. Summers are historically known for a lull in activity for business, especially in the financial world. We never got that memo here at Nova Token and have been working diligently over the past month so let’s jump right into it.

Marketing:

The Nova Token branded social media channels have been launched and are actively being promoted as we make our official break away from the Nova Blitz game. We are still working towards the goal of implementing the Nova Token platform into the Nova Blitz universe and we will continue to work with Crypto Games to ensure this is a smooth transition when the time comes.

Our signature campaign is seeing positive traction and our reach continues to grow each month as we add to the viewership of our newsletters. One of the biggest goals for us is getting the word out there about the project so these little steps in the right direction add up over time. We are also working with some media outlets right now and will be having some stories about Nova Token published to help raise awareness.

Nova Token (NVT) is now listed on Blockfolio Signal. Ensure you have Blockfolio installed and Nova Token (NVT) added so you receive updates on the project right to your phone. Blockfolio Signal has millions of users and only keeps growing so this will be a great way to reach the greater crypto crowd in a few short clicks. In addition to this effort we will be kicking off a marketing campaign as we work with a handful of companies to increase our reach in both the blockchain and non-blockchain gaming sectors. This is a delicate balance we are establishing between growing the value of the token (NVT) versus ensuring the project is funded appropriately to finish development on the platform itself. Finally, we have a trading competition for Nova Token (NVT) taking place during the month of September at Altilly — more on that below.

Exchanges:

The month of September has some exciting developments and one of them is the Market Maker trading competition for Nova Token being hosted over at Altilly. The competition is now LIVE so please head over to Altilly.com and take part in the fun and earn some Nova Tokens (NVT). With 100 Million NVT up for grabs you better hurry and start earning your fair share of the prize pool right now, details can be found here:

We also are in the midst of working towards listings with several larger exchanges and will update the community once we have secured a place there for NVT.

Website:

The final touches are being applied to the new website over at:

https://novatoken.io/.

While the site now currently reflects the new project vision we are by no means done with updating the site overall. In the future we will be adding more pieces that show various parts of the platform including useful tools for developers and bringing forward our Rewards portal. Many of these pieces are currently being worked on in the background by the team and will be finding their way to the website as part of our growing list of resources in the near future.

Team:

I am happy to report that the team here at Nova Token is constantly growing. The latest addition to the team is Keith Echevarria. Keith is our Director of Design here at Nova Token and will be looking after much of the platform’s UX and UI work (user experience). Like everyone on the team, Keith has a passion for gaming and brings industry experience, having spent time at 2K Games. His skill set will allow him to help the team in many other areas including where his artistic prowess can be applied like the NovaToken.io website in the future.

The team is thrilled to have another skilled professional join us. We have new advisors and even some more team members (yes, more!) to announce next month as we are working through the details with them each now. From a project standpoint, this is one of the healthiest signs one could ask to see. More talented individuals committing both their time and talent to the Nova Token platform is exactly what the project needs right now to continue growing. Look for us to continue adding quality individuals to the team in the near future.

Partnerships:

We are awaiting a few final legal requirements to be fulfilled and we will be able to officially announce our first partnership on the Nova Token platform. I will keep this area brief for now giving the timing however it is worth noting that we have several partnerships that we are working on concurrently to establish. We are not of the mindset to announce partnerships simply for the sake of creating news so every company we do officially partner with will be done so with much care, research and strategy.

Development:

This is the area we have been making the post progress on by far. A plan is being put together to bring more transparency to the development side of the project so look for development-focused updates to be provided in the near future.

For now, progress on both our Server and Smart contract work is being realized on a daily basis now. We are bringing in additional development talent right now to help speed up delivery of our MVP for the Nova Token platform. This is by far the trickiest part of the project, navigating the required work to make our MVP while also ensuring we are bringing the services and features both gamers and game owners alike will make use of. Managing the time, budget and scope of all of these pieces is the fun part and we are happy to report that progress is being made here. Each team has its own culture when it comes to development and we are taking the time and effort to create a healthy one here at Nova Token.

Closing thoughts:

Patience is a virtue that is rarely bestowed upon an industry like blockchain and cryptocurrency, however in some cases the saying applies. The project has gone through many changes recently including being temporarily put on hold, a brutal bear market taken hold on the industry and the Nova Blitz game officially separating from the platform. These are all substantial changes and the team recognizes that these can be seen as either a roadblock or as an opportunity.

We have chosen to view this all as an opportunity — to blaze our own trail and build up a strong team and platform that represents the joint vision we all have come together over. We will continue to work tirelessly towards realizing our goals and while the progress may not be visually apparent in the price of the token (NVT) today, the necessary building blocks are being put in place to ensure we reach that goal in the near future. Once again, thank you for the continued support as we build something great together — Jason Cassidy, CEO
