BDP Community Commentaries 5/9/21
Our sixth community update brings our proudest accomplishment so far! It’s been a big week for BDP Legions as our Data Market successfully cleared public beta and arrived on Ethereum mainnet May 2nd.
We launched not one, but two successful IDOs (Initial Data Offerings) this week. $BDP stakers earned upside on each datatoken on top of transaction fees on each trade. And if you traded the datatoken, you got to see it shoot up 20x in price!
Our users proved the #datamarket’s top use case, driving price discovery of $LINK and ThorChain’s $RUNE sentiment analysis datasets by adding and removing liquidity.
But it was not all rosy. The team grappled with technical bumps and a glitchy liquidity chart, fixing each one. Every step, we keep iterating, we keep building and delivering a better product.
Huge thanks to our community & volunteer testers who helped us find and squash bugs during the public beta period 🙏🙏. Rewards for testing and bug-finding will be paid out this week.
Stay tuned for more IDOs coming this week.
Note 1: This is not a complete list of everything we are working on. We have to keep certain plans and details under wraps until we are ready to announce them publicly.
The team works 7 days a week. We are relentless.
Note 2: Keep expectations in check. A meeting does not mean a partnership results from it.
