RMESH Added to CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko & Live Coin Watch

We are pleased to inform you that RightMesh has been added to CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and Live Coin Watch! 🎉

As per this excerpt from the article by our CEO, John Lyotier, on July 27th, we are now in active conversations with other exchanges, and we look forward to providing updates as relationships are solidified. (The full blog post can be found here.)

“Our community needs and deserves to have RightMesh listed on multiple, preeminent exchanges. This ensures sufficient liquidity and visibility in the market as the project evolves. Whereas we did not proactively pursue secondary markets prior to fulfilling the requirements to comply with the securities law prospectus exemption contained in BCI 72–503, we will explore relationships with such partners going forward if and when strategically important. We have worked with our advisory team on identifying the most suitable opportunities for the project, weighing multiple factors in our decision matrix including size, cost, reputation, technical abilities, geo-location, and value alignment with the project.”

Tech

As an agile organization working with new technology, we often need to revisit our technical roadmap and milestones. This week, our CTO, Dr. Jason Ernst, presented his 6 month tech vision to the organization. Our tech team is now heads down working to incorporate the plans into their sprints. Our product team will work on incorporating it into a roadmap update.

Product

Search And Rescue Exercise: Our UI/UX Designer, Laura Lefurgey-Smith, Product Manager Blockchain, Brianna MacNeil, and Mesh Engineer, Benjamin Hughes attended a marine Search and Rescue (SAR) exercise on Salt Spring Island, off the Vancouver coast, coordinated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The purpose of this exercise was to gain insight into the communication methods being used by emergency responders.

The team spent the morning in a workshop focused on Search and Rescue communications, needs and tools. For the second half of the day, Laura, Ben and Brianna got to go out on the water to observe a simulated marine rescue. There were a number of takeaways that will help better inform app development by our product team as we focus on emergency situations needs.

UX/UI: Our Product Manager, Andrea Ainslie and UI/UX Designer, Laura Lefurgey-Smith, have been working in collaboration with the development team on the UX/UI for the RightMesh Service and wallet app.

Developer Portal: Our product team completed additional mockups of the revamped developer portal. The purpose of the portal is to aid those in the development of their own RightMesh enabled Android applications. The vision for the portal is for it to include tutorial videos, example applications and stack overflow.

Example of the vision of the developer portal. Please note that this is a mock up only and items may change.
