Aug ’18 — Progress Update
Major strides in the right direction — a big win in Chhattisgarh, William Mougayar joins the team and EIP1132 gets accepted!


🏆 WE WON!
The Chhattisgarh Government organized a month-long challenge, calling startups to solve critical issues in eGovernance by leveraging Blockchain technology. We successfully deployed GovBlocks to build a Data Exchange Framework that can further be leveraged for a proactive governance approach. The team received a cash prize of INR 500,000 (~$7,000). Read more about the challenge here.
📝💪 Strengthening smart contract security
Smart Contract developers are perhaps one of the most sought-after folks in the Blockchain ecosystem. Having been one since 2016, Nitika wrote a note highlighting the need for ethical code and self-governed smart contracts.
Teamspeak
🙏 An awesome addition to the GovBlocks fam!

We’re pleased to announce that William Mougayar has joined us as an advisor. Managing Partner of JM3 Capital, William is the author of The Business Blockchain, curator of the Token Summit and a former advisory board member of the Ethereum Foundation. He brings a wealth of experience with him and is the third advisor to join the GovBlocks team, following Dr Jane Thomason & Prabhakar Reddy :)
💯 EIP1132 > ERC1132

Nitika seems to be on a roll right now! The EIP she authored a while back has been merged with the Ethereum codebase. Now, dApps can create ERC1132 tokens that can be time-locked without the need for transferring them to an escrow. Both GovBlocks & Nexus Mutual are using the standard within their respective ecosystems. Learn more about the ERC1132 standard.
This is what dApp founders are saying about GovBlocks
“GovBlocks actually enables us to deliver on our goal of building a living breathing organism that can be fully controlled by its members. That is what decentralisation is about, giving power and control back to the individual”
- Hugh Karp, Founder Nexus Mutual
