Hydrogen Monthly Roundup: August 2018

Each month, we offer a roundup of announcements, products news, and developer updates from Hydrogen HQ.

August was a long (and hot) stretch here in NY, but we were as busy as ever! Let’s recap what went down at Hydrogen as we close out the summer season.

Announcements:

• Throughout August, we highlighted new or current partners as part of our 30 partners in 30 days series. Our partner network has a global reach, and we are very excited to continue working with all of them!
• Our CEO Mike Kane appeared on Cheddar’s Crypto Craze show to talk about the Hydrogen platform, live from the NYSE trading floor.
• Mike was also a guest on the Bank on It podcast, discussing Hydrogen’s origins and how we plan to build the financial platform of the Web 3.0.

Product News:
