Devnetwork is built to grow the tech ecosystem. Our ICO has just finished and we received enormous supports and traction. This keeps us moving forward and also helps us reach out to the communities and stay in touch with them at the same time. To do an ICO is to deliver both the tokens and platform to the right target, not to do a scam fundraising or a fake hype. We began the development between ICO phases and have lots of updates that we are excited to share with the public.

DEV ICO Summary

We got $ 8.1 millions investment from 1862 investors within all the three ICO rounds and the presale combined (calculated from an average exchange rate among the cryptocurrency markets at the end of each ICO day). We have an ICO bounty event and 4 bug bounty reports. In total, 66 millions of DEV will be distributed to DEV investors and DEV bounty program in Q1 2017.

We are sending emails to investors and everyone who joined our bounty program this Tuesday. Please be patient, as you will have to be queued up because we want to check every nook and cranny, to make sure that there is no single mistake. You will receive the link to obtain your DEV Token in an email with instructions on how to create your account on Devcamp and how to create a Stellar key pair to receive DEV tokens.

It had been great time with Ethereum, say HELLO to Stellar!

We are a big fan of Ethereum, its smart contract capability and many ICOs on Ethereum. We have tried to implement our product as stated in our whitepaper, we have tried our best to research and test out the project on Ethereum, but there are some complications at its current blockchain technology. We see lots of promising improvement and potentials of Ethereum in their roadmap. Sadly, we can’t wait. As we want to deliver Devnetwork as fast as we can.

We have decided to deliver Devnetwork faster than promised in our roadmap. We have looked into many blockchain technologies and found out that Stellar is a salient choice. Stellar give us faster transaction time and the ability to explore more possibilities without compromising security. So we started developing DEV wallet and Devnetwork blockchain project on Stellar and found out that it is the right fit solution for Devnetwork project. Later this year, you can use not only one, but also many Devnetwork products like Hiring, Outsourcing, Contracting, Subscription and Payment.
