Universal Protocol Monthly Report: July 2019
The second monthly update report from the Universal Protocol Alliance
Greetings everyone,
This past month we were busy continuing our development of the Universal Protocol ecosystem, on-boarding new partners, and mapping out the functionality of UPT as ‘token of the realm.’ In our drive to create a technology platform that has lasting utility for the global community, we understand the importance of securing top tier alliance members. It is our goal to continue improving communication with all of you, so here is our Monthly Update from July.
UPP Telegram & Reddit AMA
This month we engaged with our communities on Telegram and Reddit in a live Ask-Me-Anything with Universal Protocol cofounders JP Thieriot and Dan Schatt.
During this AMA session we discussed a number of topics including the rollout of UPT, announcing an IEO in two months, and the governance structure of the alliance. We thank our entire community for their participation in this AMA. To read the full AMA in its entirety, you can review the published transcript here.
Universal Protocol Will Conduct an IEO
Following our ICO this Spring, we are planning to do an IEO early this Fall. We are finalizing the details with this exchange partner, and will be announcing more details in August.
