Kambria Advisor Highlight: Long Vuong, Founder and CEO of TomoChain
In the last few months, Kambria has added to its ranks an arsenal of incredible advisors and partnerships, so we wanted to take a moment to recognize our awesome support.

We would not be where we are today without our incredible team, support, and community. Long Vuong is among these talents as a Kambria Advisor, so we’d like to take a look back and show our community some of the great contributions we have made together.



Long’s vision for Kambria is to utilize TomoChain to provide the projects in the Kambria Community a financial system to take advantage of, as well as co-funding promising projects on the Kambria platform. TomoChain is a layer 1 scaling solution based on Ethereum codebase and can provide additional advantages to Kambria, as TomoChain supports all Ethereum smart contracts and tokens. His role is to provide support and strategic planning to Kambria’s new blockchain platform to build a robust ecosystem that promotes innovations at a speed and cost never possible before.

Sharing Economy v Token Economy: You Decide


While the term “sharing economy” first started to appear in the early 2000s, services such as Airbnb, Uber, and Lyft have dramatically increased the popularity of peer-to-peer service delivery over the last ten years. Also referred to as “collaborative consumption”, the sharing economy has successfully harnessed technology to allow individuals to market tangible and intangible personal resources — like an extra room, office space, or a ride — at scale.

But as cool and innovative as these sharing economy businesses are, lately they have come under fire. To begin with, some argue that the term “sharing economy” is a misnomer because there is no actual sharing; consumers are merely paying to “access” the goods or services of another person.

Moreover, due to the centralized nature of sharing economies, the company providing the platform remains in charge — not the users. Take reputation data, for examples. No matter how many stellar reviews you receive as an Airbnb Superhost, you can’t take it with you to another platform. Airbnb continues to own that data, not the host. Moreover, the company remains in charge of what data to share and display on the site. This type of data-siloing makes users dependent on the intermediary and limits both choice and income for all users.



So while the sharing economy solves old challenges, it does raise new issues. Luckily, humans are awesome in their ability to innovate and improve. Enter the token economy.

The token economy aims to deliver what the sharing economy did not. The data and vast profits that formerly were kept by the centralized sharing economy company can now be distributed directly to and shared by users. Because token economies utilize their own form of currency, users can participate, earn, vote and profit equally based on their level of interaction with the site. Users who provide the service benefit more than the company organizing the users, which seems much more democratic and in the spirit of “sharing.”

Keep your eyes open for new versions of your old favorites. Bee Token wants to create the future of home sharing via a decentralized, blockchain platform that levies zero percent commission on transactions. And SnagRide wants to leapfrog Uber’s current model using token economics by offering decentralized ride-sharing on the Ethereum blockchain.

Kambria will also utilize token economics in delivering its open innovation platform. The goal is to eliminate data and provide as much transparency to users as possible in order to accelerate innovation. Programmers will be able to access the open-source library, make contributions, and build upon software and hardware repositories thereby increasing the value to all users. We are excited to develop this decentralized blockchain platform for our users and to transform how we innovate.

We’re eager to share more with you about Kambria’s token economics. Stay tuned to our Telegram channels to be the first to know.

KAT is sold to be used on the Kambria platform.

I agree that the landscape currently has been less than favorable, but the good news is, that we sold our tokens during what appears to be most difficult time, so we now have the opportunity to be patient and persistent in building our roadmap. We are prepared to weather the storm and continue to work through it. We cannot predict how things will go in terms of people's sentiment, but we are confident that we have the recipes for success, including funding, a great team, talent, and a solid business plan. Our primary concern right now is to #BUIDL and deliver.

Supply is a highly debated issue. I am not convinced that supply is as big of a factor that people make it out to be. I understand the logic behind it, but there is no evidence to support that it affects things one way or the other, only speculation. However, reducing the supply for unsold tokens is something our community and advisors encouraged us to consider, so that is what we've done. We care about and listen to our community. We are happy to announce that the supply for KAT has been reduced by a factor of ~25%. The burn will take place on Dec, 19th 2018.

Regards,

William

Thanks for the question. Because the pre-sale just closed, we have not announced any exchanges yet, but we will be sure to update the community the moment it happens. Thank you for your support.

As far as the tokens being on TomoChain blockchain, currently, we are focused on building the Open Innovation Platform to provide full functionality. Kambria is chain agnostic. We will remain on the Ethereum blockchain. Because TomoChain is a scaling solution for ETH, then it is something we would certainly consider in the future, but right now the main focus is building functionality.. In the meantime, our partnership with them will focus on education and training programs. Our vision is aligned globally, and in Vietnam, to educate, train, and empower underserved youth and college age men and women for a brighter tomorrow.

Thanks for your support!

Very glad that the unsold tokens were burned, market is very difficult for new coins as they get listed on exchanges and you guys have quite a high token supply; really hope the price doesn't tank once listed.

+ Burn Amount: 1.2 billion KAT

Tokens trading anywhere already? As far as I know you have partnership with Tomochain which mainnet launch in just few days. Are you going swap tokens from Ethereum blockchain to Tomochain blockchain?

Dear Kambria Community,

Following the conclusion of the Kambria token sale, we are happy to announce that all of the unsold KAT tokens will be burned. The details for the burn is as follows:

+ Initial Supply: 5 billion KAT
+ Burn Amount: 1.2 billion KAT
+ New Total Supply: 3.8 billion KAT
+ Burn Date: Dec 19, 2018

We would like to thank our community again for your immense support. We are truly humbled and grateful to have you here with us.

We have a lot planned for the development of Kambria in the coming months, so kindly follow our social channels and blogs for up-to-date information on the Kambria Platform.

Casting My Vote for Blockchain





Two years ago, on the eve of the US presidential inauguration, I appeared in a documentary on the British TV station iTV. A friend of the family asked my mom if she would be willing to be interviewed by the show’s journalist who was traveling across America speaking with voters on across the political spectrum. My mom wasn’t particularly interested so she nominated me.

Now, admittedly, most of my life, I’ve been politically apathetic. My approach to politics was to put my head in the sand because even if I didn’t pay attention, life worked out. As immigrants, my family and I created prosperous lives for ourselves in the American Midwest. We lived in safe neighborhoods with great public schools. We made enough money, we bought real estate, and moved up the economic ladder. My sister and I both attended great universities. Outside of academic achievement, I never worried about much. So I never cared much about politics.

That was until two years ago. On the eve of the inauguration, the documentary aired. Watching the broadcast, you would never know I was formerly a political schlep as I shared my aversion to current events. I’d like to say that I didn’t know what had come over me, but, I did. I was broken by the year-long public war on the American people, by the American people.

To cope with my upset, I learned how to meditate. Focusing on something besides current events made me less anxious. Eventually, I began to feel better. Over the next year, I stumbled upon Bitcoin and blockchain technology and slid down the infamous rabbit hole. I watched the documentary Banking on Bitcoin and immediately the topics and themes made sense. I started researching Bitcoin and altcoins and the underlying blockchain technology.

Like many, I became fascinated by the potential of digital currency to transform financial systems and tried to learn as much as possible. I learned about the implications of government-controlled fiat and how crypto could shift control to individuals. Domestically, Americans didn’t have to remain at the mercy of “too big to fail” banks. And abroad, crypto could be used as a strong hedge again national currency devaluation resulting from political turmoil. I read about economic issues in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, India, Greece. Learning about the rise of digital currency gave me hope. Imagine if crypto could do for banking what the internet did for media; to give access, power, and control to individuals rather than governments or financial institutions. This was thrilling.

For the remainder of 2017, I enjoyed the dramatic rise in crypto prices and continued to learn as much as possible. Of course, at the start of this year, prices tanked but luckily, these new valuations did not completely destroy my enthusiasm for the space. I began to learn about blockchain technology and the potential impact of decentralization. I learned about the 19 industries blockchain will disrupt. Heck, it can even help us with election tampering. I immersed myself wholeheartedly into this new space. I loved the technology and the quest for solutions to long-standing issues of money, control, centralization, power. I was hooked!

But what I enjoyed just as much as the promise of this new technology, was operating in a world where politics didn’t matter. I mean, how could they with so little regulation? This was uncharted territory where the same forces of polarization and manipulation did not exist. There was no precedent. There were no rules until we made up our own. DYOR, HODL, and BTFD applied to everyone. Politics didn’t matter because we all wanted the same thing — mass adoption. In this ecosystem, our desires were aligned. It was magic. Forget putting down someone else’s candidate. We were having too much fun speculating about the market, comparing shitcoins, and choosing our lambos!

Fortunately, my understanding of and appreciation for blockchain today extends beyond making money. Of course, the bear market has forced me to manage my expectations and to adjust my portfolio. But it has also eliminated weak hands leaving only true believers to BUIDL a decentralized future. These believers include members of two outstanding, international teams I have worked with — first with Bitcoin for Beginners (BFB), a crypto education website, and now Kambria, an open innovation protocol initially focused on the robotics and AI verticals. At BFB, I was the only woman on the small, core team of leaders living around the world. At Kambria, our leadership team is all-female and split between Silicon Valley and Vietnam. In both organizations, team members value growing the crypto/blockchain ecosystem by sharing their knowledge, with integrity, with their respective communities.

In my work, political parties do not apply. We don’t need to take sides in a zero-sum game because we know that connected communities are stronger than divided ones. We are all students and teachers at the same time, innovators intent on creating a new reality. I am grateful for my work, my colleagues, and this new space. Bring on the future!

Industry 4.0



In this digital age, data collection has become an incredibly valuable tool for assessing efficiency. Efficiency directly impacts profits, so manufacturers are keenly aware of the constant need to improve their current systems. Data is the key to understanding where and how these improvements need to be implemented. Currently, one of the biggest problems with robotics in industries are the regular, unscheduled downtimes of integral robotics equipment. It’s been estimated that an unscheduled downtime costs GM around $20,000 per minute. GM, Cisco, and FANUC have developed new cloud-based software, ZDT (Zero Down Time Solution), that uses machine learning to be able to accurately predict mechanical failures before they happen, as well as preventing unnecessary scheduled downtime on machines that are not in need of service. This is saving GM from losing obscene amounts of money. ZDT has proven so effective, they are exploring new ways to revolutionize robotics efficiency in their plants that have never been possible before.



“For example, a robot might be designed to have routine scheduled maintenance at 1,000 hours. So we would plan to maintain it at that time,” says Linn. “But it might actually last 1,250 hours before it needs maintenance. So we’re working on getting away from fixed maintenance schedules to instead schedule as needed. This is one of the major ways you can find significant savings going forward.” -Marty Linn, Manager of Advanced Automation Technologies and Principal Engineer of Robotics at General Motors Co.
Fact or Friction?
With a focus in robotics and AI, Kambria’s approach to frontier technologies encompasses every aspect of hardware development, the logic that runs it, manufacturing, and the materials used in that process. All of these separate, but vital, ingredients in the innovation process can be directly developed, sold, shared, and applied directly within Kambria’s Open Innovation Platform. Our open-source approach is designed to significantly reduce the additional effort required in the lengthy process to get from concept to finished product. This includes nearly every aspect of the development process, including where roboticists source their materials from. Removing friction plays a huge role in efficiency, and time is money. That is what robotics in industry 4.0 is all about: efficiency, time, and cost reduction.

While the Kambria vision is quite complex in nature, the goal is very simple: Kambria is building the “go-to” platform for developing new innovations. In an open collaborative environment, many of the difficulties in creating a new product are drastically diminished, if not eliminated completely. Kambria’s approach to industry 4.0 is providing the right tools for the right job, an infrastructure to support it, a global community of innovators to work alongside. This allows innovators to do what they do best: #BUIDL. There truly is no limit to what we can achieve together, so our question to you is: what will you build? #Kambria
