Sparrow Digest #5

Sparrow went to Blockchain Thailand Genesis, Beyond Blocks Thailand, and DeFi Singapore. ALPHA Testing is underway and will be opened to a broader audience soon.

Blockchain Thailand Genesis

We had a booth and speaking engagement at Blockchain Thailand Genesis held in Bangkok on 24 Nov 2018. We saw a pretty good turnout at the event, made up of a lot of curious folks who wanted to learn more about the uses of blockchain. Reuben, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Sparrow Exchange took to the stage to share about the use of options during these challenging market conditions.

Reuben Conceicao, CSO Sparrow Exchange, sharing about how Sparrow Exchange makes the use of options to control risk so easy with no counterparty risk.

ALPHA Testing

As you may know, we have been processing ALPHA testers and collating feedback on the platform for the last two weeks. We are getting great feedback and will be opening the ALPHA test to more of you soon. We are truly grateful for the comments and ideas so far, and we are working on incorporating them for BETA.

DeFi Singapore

We also took part in a panel organized by DeFi, held in the same week as the ETHSingapore hackathon. The panel focused on regulatory and strategic issues surrounding DeFi projects, looking at ways for DeFi projects to make a real impact without the discussions about token prices. There was a lively discussion around custody and regulations, and technology considerations such as the paradox of multiple blockchains.

Don’t speculate on regulations. Make the effort to speak with regulators and you’ll find that they are progressive and willing to engage. This is the moment that real projects can shine and it is important to do things the right way. — Reuben Conceicao, CSO Sparrow Exchange
