Hey everyone! Alon here from Draper Goren Holm. I’m in Tel Aviv for FinTech week, very excited to be here, but I just got an email update from CasperLabs that their TestNet is going to be launching in March. Really super excited about this project if you haven’t heard about CasperLabs. They’re one of our portfolio companies and they’ve basically created a scalable layer one smart contracting solution. It’s a proof-of-stake protocol and if you’re an engineer or you’re interested in participating by staking your tokens you should really check them out. They were a part of the last LA Blockchain Week’s hackathon and many people were building on it. I heard a lot of really really great things, so especially if you’re an engineer you should check them out. Keep a look out for the end of March as it’s going to be exciting to see what they can do. I have a feeling that some of these new layer one solutions, and of course we’re hoping it’s CasperLabs, are going to be sort of ushering in mass adoption by making it easier and more scalable to create smart contracting enabled products. So check them out! Hope to see some of you in Tel Aviv.
