XIO Blockchain Startup Incubator + Opacity Economic Advisory Board

As you may have heard by now, I am extremely excited to announce Opacity will be included in the first round of startups for the XIO Startup Incubator.

Welcome to everyone from the XIO community!

You may just be learning about Opacity, but it’s never too late to join our community. I invite you to review our Medium blog history, our website, and, of course, try out Opacity for yourself…for free!

This event builds on our previous partnership with BombX established in July and I’m very happy we are continuing to deepen our relationship!

As far as I know, XIO is the first crypto incubator and Opacity is now included in the very first round of the incubator launch. Tremendously honored to be a part of this momentous occasion!

What does this mean for Opacity?

Like other existing incubator programs such as Y-Combinator or Techstars that are focused on supporting traditional startups, Opacity can benefit from the incubator in many ways:

  • Cash Flow contribution
  • Community expansion
  • Connections to exchanges
  • Marketing and exposure
  • Partnering with others in the ecosystem
  • Industry growth
  • and much more…

Being chosen for a program like XIO can also add an element of distinction as part of the limited cohort that is chosen to participate. Not all start-ups in incubator programs are successful, but it certainly helps!

Community Involvement

Our existing community primarily found in Telegram are the Opacity Ambassadors. Many of you have been with us from the start and are knowledgable about how we operate, how the product works, and our ideas for the future.

I request everyone in the community to help get XIO newcomers up to speed. Your support means everything to the Opacity team and now is the perfect time to showcase what the Opacity community is capable of.

Opacity Economic Advisory Board

I am also very excited to announce that I am establishing an Opacity Economic Advisory Board.

The mission of this advisory team is to discover how to optimize the utility and benefits of the OPQ token through potential adjustments and modifications of token attributes that may include token burn, staking, peg adjustment, or other relevant changes. The Board will assist me by giving feedback, reviewing and sharing ideas, and ultimately recommending appropriate actions. I am open to all ideas.

I have already reached out to some individuals knowledgeable in business, finance, economics, and fiscal/monetary policy that are very interested. I expect this team to involve members that have keen knowledge and experience and are subject matter experts in their field. I expect it to most likely include up to 5 individuals and be spun up fully in the new year.

I am currently evaluating members that would be best suited for the team. If you’d like to participate, feel free to send me a summary of your experience, why you are an expert, why you would like to participate, and your Linkedin profile. You should expect to be able to sign an NDA, have no conflicts of interest with other work you perform, and be able to spend a minimum of 5 hours per month on research, meetings, or other participation. You can send details to me at jason@opacity.io.
