An offer you can’t refuse!

It was the best of the times, it was the worst of the times…

Charles Dickens said this in his popular book ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. I think this phrase completely applies to the current scene in the crypto-world. While the markets have been tanking, and none of the cryptos are performing well, it is actually a blessing in disguise for companies like us who want to work on the product. We had declared that July will be a ‘no leave month’, and we would not travel anywhere for conferences or events. Instead, we decided that we will concentrate heavily on getting the product in the right shape and increasing the user engagement on the platform. I think that decision is turning out to be really beneficial for the company as a whole!

We ran a campaign with the DREAM project, which resulted in our Telegram channel members going to more than 100,000. As a result, we have had to create a 2nd channel on Telegram.

We have been doing constant iterations, constant communication with the community, and constant measurement of the results — these three things have given us a lot of insights on our existing user base and now we know what these people really want.

We published a couple of new articles:

Introduction to Plasma: https://blog.indorse.io/plasma-introduction-part-1-497b0815bba7

Interview with Jia Qing Yap on the Skill Economy: https://blog.indorse.io/skill-economy-interview-with-jia-qing-yap-6462e35d23a5

We also recently started accepting job descriptions from our partner companies and the companies, who created Company Validation Pages. Over a span of 10 days, we have received more than 30 job postings, and I think that we are in a unique position to serve these, based on our niche blockchain community of users.

Done

  • AIP (Anonymous Indorsement Protocol) GitHub login flow
  • AIP iteration — direct claims creation from the landing page
  • Company page iteration — advisors can now agree for a “soft validation” for a project
  • Published an npm package for ether batch send
  • AIP GitHub claim creation flow
  • AIP Telegram chatbot — to create claims directly from Telegram

Doing

  • User Profile v2.0
  • LinkedIn CSV parsing- a better way to add skills to your profile
  • Telegram chatbot to sign up users directly
  • Job aggregation feature- users can apply for jobs to our partner companies after validating their skills

Open positions

  2. Backend developer (NodeJS)
