Developer Update:We are proud to announce that we have successfully deployed our token-generation and crowdsale-contract in a development environment that we are creating for our first use case (the RefToken ICO wallet which will be used by future clients).
The next phase will be to integrate affiliate tracking into the wallet, which will be the basis of the v1 RefToken platform.
Here is an excerpt from our last dev email update:
We have released our technical yellow paper
https://reftoken.io/uploads/RefToken-Yellow-Paper.pdf where we are going into more detail of how we are building the platform.
I would also take this opportunity to mention that we are an agile company that will do all we can to stay relevant and make sure there will be a demand for the token. As the ICO-market has been heavily saturated and it's hard to penetrate with traditional marketing efforts, we have pivoted our development plans to benefit from the current situation.
We are creating a ICO-platform together with a law firm in Malta. What will be unique about it, is that it will use REF-tokens for all the ICO’s affiliate programs. By doing it this way, we will create demand for the token quicker and also provide revenue that will be used for development and marketing of RefToken.
Our current development roadmap is:
Crowdsale contract without tracking Crowdsale contract with tracking integrated
RefToken Deals,(Escrow smart contracts) to make use of the tracking integrated in the crowdsale contract as specified in the White & Yellow Papers.
WEB-UI for merchants to push affiliates to their deployed affiliate-Deal contracts themselves by adding the affiliate wallets manually.
Off-chain SQL Database, (mainly used for the platform to generate reports, live tracking etc.)
Beta Launch of the platform for generating smart contracts through a UI as seen on
https://demo.reftoken.com Integrate our affiliate solution with new partners; other ICO-platforms and live Dapps.
Reaching each of these development goals should take between 2 and 8 weeks.
We want to avoid giving specific dates as we want to have the freedom to prioritize and change the order as what we think makes most sense for the company in the current market. Strict roadmaps, "waterfall planning", nearly always leads to disaster in software development. We need to be agile in order to succeed with the project.
While the dev team is busy creating future demand for the token, the marketing team will do their best to spread awareness.
Our next public appearance will be on stage by Jan Sammut at the Gibraltar Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference in February 2018, both founders will be attending. More public appearances will be at the Geneva blockchain conference on the 21st of February is part of our marketing strategy 2018.
