Dear Naviaddress Community,

The past few weeks were full of hard work and steady progress! We have advanced both in customer development as well as platform and address solutions development. Here is the summary of our accomplishments and certain objectives for the nearest future that we can disclose publicly as of now.

  • Platform development is moving forward. Thank you for your feedback on our Naviaddress Premium Beta 0.2. We’ve re-developed and updated the front-end, what helped us to improve the working speed of our Beta. The further development shall be focused on UI/UX. We are on schedule to deliver the platform commercial test launch for you to have the opportunity to buy first Premium Naviaddresses. In the first stage scheduled for early September we plan to launch Premium Naviaddresses test retail sales for blockchain and e-commerce early enthusiasts and investors in selected global regions. The second stage will commence in Q4 with first sales to potential Regional Partners who will be willing to purchase national or regional naviaddress containers for further lease out. Starting September 1, we will be actively probing commercial interest with business/online directory and telecom (B2B) companies to utilize our platform and naviaddresses to boost competitiveness.

Naviaddress Customer Development. During ongoing customer development process with express delivery industry, Naviaddress Team met with management teams of several national level express delivery business – Courier Service Express ( http://www.cse.ru/lang-eng) and Pony Express (/https://www.ponyexpress.ru/en). Both companies expressed enthusiasm to consider and test our addressing solution for e-commerce and express delivery industries that is scheduled for release in the end of Q3.

Naviaddresses for Escape Room: while analyzing addresses on our platform we’ve found out an additional category – naviaddresses for escape rooms. An escape room, also known as an „escape game“, is a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Escape room planners create naviaddresses for their events, link metadata with a detailed description of the last-mile and share them with the participants. Using Naviaddress helps to find an address even in a remote location, bringing a better and more comfortable experience to the clients of the event industry. In coming months we plan to tap into this entertainment as well events market niches to test scalability of naviaddreses as an event solution helping people to search, find and access an event quickly without losing their nerve.

Only a month until the first Naviaddress Hakathon! We are getting ready to run the first Naviaddress Hakathon, which will take place in Moscow in September, 2018. This is the first initiative by Naviaddress to encourage the technology startups to create new addressing solutions together with our Team. The first hackathon will address the cross-culture industry. The winning prototypes will be tested and implemented by Naviaddress together with the winning team. By the end of the year Naviaddress plan to launch 2 more hackathons in Europe and Asia to engage young talented teams to join the project, develop new ideas and product hypotheses to deliver more functionality to Naviaddress blockchain platform, extend the network and accelerate the adoption of naviaddresses.

We are developing a game! Together with young talented team, the developers of ZappCraft Battle Royale and Skolakola, we are working on a geospatial retail business game, a simulation where you can buy, grow and sell retail businesses using NAVI tokens. And of course, all locations in the game will be real and have real naviaddresses. This is the first step towards making more partners in the field of software and game development. Using this pilot project, we are testing Naviaddress Platform API as well as optimize the process of cooperation with outsource developers. We believe, that this is a good opportunity to introduce our product to new customers, engage consumers with the knowledge about our products and create buzz.

Some more news are about to come! Stay tuned!
