UNIFY - The Good, the Sad, the Future and the Team!

Before we head on, the sad news

As most of you have noticed, development and communications pretty much grinded to a halt the past couple of months. This was due to the fact that the main developer could unfortunately not continue active development and management of the project. We would like to take the chance to thank him for building the foundations of this great project though! And while he might not be actively involved in development, you might see him around still ;)

The good news!

A completely fresh team of 13 members, also consisting of long time Unify Holders and Supporters, are ready to inject some new life into the project and finish what the Original Founder had envisioned! We are currently creating a new website to reflect the current situation and a revised Roadmap etc, rebuilding the Marketplace, and as you can see starting up the Social Media Presence again! Among the team skills are core Blockchain Development, Webdesign, Web Development and Social Media Management, more details later in this post.

The future!

A full roadmap will be published soon, but for now there are 5 main tasks planned:

• Website/Whitepaper update — A lot has changed, and even more will change. So along with the migration of the main site to a new host, a complete overhaul is in progress where all information will be checked for accuracy and updated accordingly. Similarly the whitepaper and Roadmap will be reviewed and updated with the latest information and timeline.
• POS Rewards Change — To make sure there is enough network security even during these times with less activity, staking rewards will temporarily increase to promote active staking by coin holders. These rewards will gradually go down over time again as we get closer to the crowdfunding platform. Exact numbers are being calculated and will be announced soon.
• Max and Circulating Cap Change — Supply will increase with 5 million coins. Those coins will be held in a publicly visible wallet and exclusively be used for the development of the project with full transparency of the coins spent. Think server hosting, marketing budget, optional extra exchange listings, etc. As Simonas mentioned it takes quite some funds to host it all and it takes some time for the marketplace and the Crowdfunding platform to generate enough funds to support server hosting and other related costs.
• Revival of the Marketplace — Since this was a feature completely up and running, the first focus after the network changes will be getting the Marketplace back up. This will provide visibility to the project, as well as slowly start up a revenue stream to support it. That is currently in active development, servers are already rented and the coders have started work. More details in a future update.
• Development of the Crowdfunding Platform — This is still the main focus, and also where most of the work still needs to be done. But most of the infrastructure of the marketplace can be used for this, so most development time going into the Marketplace will also benefit the Crowdfunding Platform. Again, more details in a future update.
