7 Dec 2019

Tree3 Network came a long path independently but we couldn’t find a way to sustain.

Hi all
On 7 Dec 2017, exactly 2 years, Pedity project was born and the first version was released in Feb 2018. 2018 was a very productive year and we continued working very hard in 2019 as well.

What we did in 2019

In January — February 2019, the testnet platform was updated with various fixes, improvements and the Pedity backend was also updated with several fixes and API was heavily optimized.
We also launched the documentation of Tree3 Network and the mechanics behind how the project work and how off-chain data is used in Pedity project for blogging, fundraising, tipping, distribution of rewards to off-chain nodes.
In March — April 2019, we migrated the Pedity Platform to Horizon(mainnet) with the release of Pedity 0.2 (On the horizon) and several feature releases. We also pushed Pedity Wallet related updates to google play store.
In May 2019, We also released Pedity API to allow developers to use off-chain data for building applications using Stellar and IPFS.
We also launched and optimized Pedity rewards users were awarded for their contribution using the platform. We also announced our future plans related to 3R — Rebranding, Roadmap, Reorganization
In June 2019, We also started working on upgrading our backend to support the new Stellar Go SDK and upgrade our backend by June 2019.
By August 2019, We rebranded Pedity to Tree3 Network with a new website, updated documentation, organized products and more focus towards completely distributed applications.
In Sept 2019, Tree3 CLI tool was released provides various options for storage and management of digital identity, content and syncing data between nodes.
We also launched the Tree3 Notification application that allows payment notification of a Stellar Account using offchain data fields.

Where did we lack?

We lacked marketing of the product and developers also leaving was also very tough. Stellar Lumen’s price going down affected the project as well and trustlines became a tough task for a lot of people who were out of Stellar Ecosystem.
Over the past few months, We have been trying to raise funds to hire developers and execute plans but unfortunately things didn’t turn out well.
Ultimately we focused a lot on developments and focused less on marketing and funding aspects.
With a very heavy heart it is time for us to move on and focus ahead in the future.

We have put our code open source on Tree3 Github so that it can help developers and really hope people can get an inspiration from our idea.
