We would like to keep our clients, partners and followers informed about the progress block42 makes. Therefore, we publish a monthly company update summarizing the most important activities.

ICON P-Rep voting

In the last couple of weeks, we put much efforts for becoming one of ICON network’s 22 pubic representatives (“P-Rep”), who are securing, stabilizing and enhancing the network. On October 29th the initial voting finally comes to an end and we are very delighted that we were able to pull in enough votes to made in the top 22. block42 is now responsible for providing a stable network node to validated and produce blocks in the ICON blockchain. Additionally, we’re very keen to contribute to the ecosystem by developing tools and applications based on ICON.

New team members

With an increased demand on development and consultancy services from our customers we were able to increase our team size again. We’re very pleased to welcome three new members in our blockchain development team (Tomaz, Oliver and Robi) as well as Jakob who will speed up our business development. Welcome aboard guys! 👋🚀

Blockchain Development

The workload in our development team is currently quite high. We’re building several projects simultaneously and therefore utilizing different blockchain frameworks. At the moment these frameworks are Ethereum, ICON and Hyperledger Fabric. Especially in the private sector we see a high demand for Hyperledger developments, which aligns to a blockchain benchmark study published by the University of Cambridge. There it is stated that nearly 50% of all covered projects that are used in production have chosen Hyperledger Fabric as its blockchain framework.

Partnerships

We’re constantly trying to expand our networks to get connected to the most innovative and promising business partners. Therefore, we’re proud to be able to announce new partnerships with the Silicon Alps Cluster and the AVCO.

The Silicon Alps Electronic Cluster is a public-private partnership that brings together Austrian players from industry, science and public authorities to develop and position the electronics and microelectronics sector with a regional focus on the locations Carinthia and Styria. The Silicon Alps cluster regards itself as a long-term strategic alliance and a tool for cooperative, efficient and business-oriented location development.

The Austrian Private Equity and Venture Capital Organization (AVCO) is the umbrella organization of Austrian venture capitalists and corporate finance service providers. It is organized as an association and acts as a central point of contact for all questions on private equity, as an active networking institution, as an advocacy group for the Austrian venture capital industry and as an interface to international organizations.
