We're BlockMason: A Credit Blockchain Protocol

in #blockchain7 years ago

Hello Steemians!

We at BlockMason are incredibly excited to officially join the Steemit community. We’ve been big fans of Steem technology and their company ethos for a while now, and we finally decided to jump aboard the Steem Train.

Last week, at a blockchain meetup in New York City, Jesse, our content manager, met Steem’s very own @Andrarchy. Andrew really impressed us with his vision for Steem’s future and his portrait of the community that has driven Steem’s dramatic expansion over the last year. Steem is the largest user-based blockchain platform for a reason—it provides a model for a future dramatically altered by blockchain technology, and, most importantly, it works.

While we’ve spent the last month focusing on our upcoming token sale for our Credit Protocol (more below), we look forward to sharing with you all some awesome content about blockchain technology, Ethereum, and all the cool applications we've been experimenting with.

A little bit about us if you’re unfamiliar: BlockMason is a world-class developer of applications for the Ethereum blockchain, and this month we’re rolling out our first major product: The Credit Protocol. You’ll hear more about this from us shortly, but the Credit Protocol is basically a system for creating, tracking, and storing debts and credits on the blockchain. This is really cool, because, if you think about it, debt and credit are the major drivers of economic growth. From the U.S. economy to home loans to the development of infrastructure, almost every large-scale project is funded through debt and credit, and not cash—which is more or less what we’ve got with Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies.

We’ve already built one fully functional application atop the Credit Protocol, called Friend in Debt (think Venmo on the blockchain, but better) and are hard at work on several others. But maybe the coolest thing about the Credit Protocol is that it’s open source, and specifically designed to allow any aspiring dev to build atop the CP to create even more stunning dapps than we can ourselves imagine. That’s why we are so pumped to join the Steem community—we know there are others here who will recognize our vision and help us unlock the potential of our work.

Alright, that’s enough about us. We look forward to reading a bunch of your posts and getting to know you all through this amazing platform.

Welcome to steemit BlockMason team! All blockchain devs are welcome, even Eth devs ;)

Community Liaison, Steemit

Really excited to see the functionalities of Eth and Steem come together actually--I think they're very complementary, as we discussed.

Welcome to steemit!
Must say I hadn't heard of you before, but looking forward to what you'll be sharing here and also to get more familiar with the Credit Protocol (it sure does address a huge market. Me like!)

Hoping to get to know you guys behind the project as well! Any chance of you building something on the steem blockchain too in the near future?;)

We've talked about this with some Steemit guys--it's very very interesting for sure. I will say that we are actively pursuing a couple new projects in the non-currency, social blockchain space, and Steem has a ton of potential synergies.

Awesome. Well, I'll be eager to follow your progress and keep an eye out on new projects you'll be taking on. You already got me into reading up on the Credit Protocol for this token sale :P

Gl with it!

Welcome @blockmason! I'll make sure to follow what you are doing here :-)

Welcome to Steemit, I look forward to seeing what you are going to bring to the table! It is always exciting to see new innovators joining the community. :)
