5. Patent

A patent (utility patent) on EvidenZ framework will be registered in the United States within 2 weeks.

6. Token

We know that a “big” exchange is important for the community: we have just discussed again with the Circle team (Poloniex) today. But it must start with an increase of our marketcap.

We believe that the launch of the platform, the announcement of new customers and the circulation of BCDTs will be our best assets for this during the fall.

As expected, the BCDT token will be used as soon as the product is released into production under the conditions specified in the Whitepaper.

Let’s remember this will be one of the first token of an Ethereum mainstream application in production.

It is this real and concrete use that will be the basis of communication around our token.

7. Business Development

It’s back to school! Let’s tour our growing customer community.

  • EMLyon Edtech Accelerator: launch tomorrow, stay tuned! All the reputation of EMLyon and its partner network to accelerate adoption among the world’s leading brands!
  • AUF: publication within a few days of an ambitious master agreement that positions BCDiploma as AUF’s certification partner on its network of 880 universities (111 countries, 14M students).

  • Université de Nice: FabLex DL4T

Final discussions for deployment in the coming months:

  • Téluq University (Quebec)
  • AUF remote training courses (52 universities)
  • Georgia Tech Lorraine — Georgia Institute of Technology

  • Boeing: for Machine Accreditations, under NDA
