Snip January Update
Greetings to the Snip community!
In December we published our full 2018 roadmap and we’re glad to update that Snip is on track on all fronts. February is expected to be an especially exciting month, both on the product side and the token side. In this update we’ll share the highlights of our progress and plans for the future.
Content
During January we expanded our content offering, which now includes more than 15 unique pieces of content a day. The system is built on a community of 20 writers and an advanced recommendation engine, helping the writers find the best stories to write about. Accordingly, we’re happy to see that the site has seen a 50% increase in visitors from the beginning of January but we’re expecting much more rapid growth, with an emphasis on daily active users.
The next big step is opening the platform, allowing anyone to create a snippet and get rewarded. We’ll be starting a closed pilot in February and expect the beta open platform to launch in March.
Snip Mobile App
The Snip mobile app is an important way for us to provide a great user experience and gain daily visitors to our platform. During January we significantly improved the stability and speed of the iOS app and have received much positive feedback on the user experience.
Our main areas of focus are now integrating SNIP into the iOS app with a mobile wallet, improving the design, and finally replicating the experience to a high quality Android app. We understand that Android is popular in our community and are sure that you’ll like what you see when the first version of the Android app is launched. In only a few months, we expect to offer a full mobile experience with native SNIP, a rarity in the crypto community. This will make using and trading SNIP much easier.
Using and Trading SNIP
For a cryptocurrency to be successful it needs to both have utility and be easy to transfer. While we’ve been advancing the utility of SNIP quickly, until recently we haven’t given enough attention to making SNIP easily tradable. Nevertheless, we’ve had some significant progress and expect that in the upcoming weeks we’ll be listed on CoinMarketCap and on a first centralized exchange. Accordingly, we expect daily volume to surpass $50K/day, allowing for anyone to buy and sell SNIP when they want. Over time, we intend to add trading to the mobile wallet, allowing for SNIP buying and selling directly from your phone.
Hiring
During January we hired our first engineer and we expect to add a second one in February. We also intend to soon add a full time marketing lead, helping us to dramatically increase growth and community engagement.

In sum, 2018 has started strong and we expect the next months to be amazing both in product growth and SNIP adoption. We will continue to update and are happy to hear feedback from the community. For advice, questions, or clarifications, you’re welcome to ping us on Telegram.
