Development and Community Update October 2018
It has been another big month for the Quadrant Protocol team. As part of our growth strategy coming out of this summer’s successful token sale, we have added six new team members in the past month. We have also made important strides on the technical side, refining a tool to identify and weed out faulty information that could infect algorithms if scraped indiscriminately from the web. CEO Mike Davie has continued to connect with the community through weekly videos as well as through appearances in the media and is travelling to the United States during the first two weeks of November to attend meetings and meet with customers, partners, community members and fellow entrepreneurs.
Here are some highlights from a busy month:
Growing Team
Quadrant is happy to announce the addition of six new team members over the past month. These new hires are all on the business development execution side, representing a major expansion of our capacity to win customers and grow partnerships.
With these new additions, our total team size has grown to 12 employees — a big jump from where we were only a few months ago! These new members will be integral in achieving our growth plans and we are very excited to have them on board. The fact that such talented professionals are eager to join Quadrant is a testament to our momentum, to the strength of our product, and to the dynamism of the data space.
Development Spotlight
We have been working on some other exciting developments on the technical front this month as well. Our engineers have been hard at work building and testing new tools. If these tests are successful, expect to see a full announcement next month.
Bounty Distribution
For those of you who completed our bounty program over the summer, we are happy to announce the distribution of your bounty. Quadrant Protocol will be disbursing the tokens to all our bounty participants within the next three weeks. All stakes have been counted, and all participants will receive the number of tokens they are eligible for in their wallets.
Partnership Boost
Strong partnerships continue to be a key component of our success. In particular, Bluzelle is making exciting progress working with our protocol to ensure data integrity. You can read about it here, here, and here and see a video on the project here
