Afterschool Announces Partnership with Bancor, Welcomes Four New Advisors
Afterschool, a project developing a decentralized after school booking and management platform, has announced its partnership with Bancor and will become a member of its protocol family. In addition, Afterschool welcomes four new members to its advisory board.
Afterschool Partners with Bancor
Afterschool Token (AST) will be using ERC20 smart-token standard, compatible with all supported exchanges and wallets and will now also be automatically convertible to every token in the Bancor network in compliance with the Bancor protocol.
The partnership is a significant step in making Afterschool Token easier to use and in encouraging buyers to hold the token and trade value with greater ease within the Afterschool ecosystem.
Joanna Nazareno, CEO and founder of Afterschool shares that Afterschool is happy and excited to be part of the thriving Bancor community. She shares, “Bancor’s smart token standard complements Afterschool’s goal of creating a decentralized ecosystem in the after school booking industry using blockchain technology. Our partnership will bring forth increased stability and liquidity to our community and we hope this will bring more people to invest.”
Expert Team of Advisors
In support of its ongoing tokensale, Afterschool has secured high-profile advisors to add to its expert team. Afterschool advisors bring experience and knowledge ranging from Blockchain, business, finance and technology to help guide the company’s mission to become the first decentralized after school booking marketplace and work on major growth opportunities in the coming years.
The advisory board’s members include:
· Eddy Azar, Growth Hacker at Bancor and a blockchain technologist who helped start the Bitcoins in Bali group and worked with companies like TenX, Golem, and now Bancor.
· Aaron Schwartz, Programmer at Florida Blue and Director of Engagement at Blockchain Education Network. He also serves as an Advisor to Bitjob, LAToken and Ties.Network.
· Suarav Tomar, Blockchain Technologist and co-founder of Cefy and NewsMeme. He’s a recipient of Amazon’s research grant for innovative projects and came up with FaceCrop, a compression program that makes OOC educational videos accessible on low internet bandwidths.
· Edward Ruchevits, Lead back-end Developer at Tallysticks. Edward is deeply involved in the crypto industry in the last few years and has a clear passion for development. Prior to taking the role, Edward was a Programmer at Ethereum.
Last September 26, Afterschool successfully opened its ICO to the public and will last until October 26, 2017. The team aims to raise at least $1 million in a sale of tokens that will be used to decentralize its platform on ethereum and fund wider expansion plans starting with key regions in the GCC and Southeast Asia.
