Open Platform, the revolutionizing decentralized app/Dapp payment solution, is shaping a brighter, more profitable future for developers. The current landscape of app/Dapp payments is dominated by big players, such as iTunes and Google Play Store; who have created significant barriers of entry for the average dev. Exuberant fees, constantly changing policies, and centralized control are just some of the some of the headaches that dev had to endure, if they wanted to market their creations to the public. Dev grudgingly had to put up with these conditions until the advent of the Open Platform Protocol. Open will open new payment gateways for developer on is decentralized payment system. Developer will be able to easily connect their back end payment system to any blockchain and accept payment in almost any cryptocurrencies; bypassing any intermediaries.
Open Platform’s scalable, interoperable, and democratizing platform is most impressive to say the least. In the last few days we have witnessed the anointing of .Open by major players in the cryptosphere; like Tim Draper and Jeremy Gardener. However, like any other promising idea, it is only as good as the team that implements it; and Open has this covered. The team at Open is comprised of some of the most experienced developers with experience in all the right areas to see this project to a successful launch.
But what happens after the launch? Will Open go dark and fade away like so many other projects?
That too, the team at Open Platform has covered. The launch of Open Platform was preceded by one of the best developer incentive programs ever devised. Since the announcement of the project, applications to join the program have been pouring in. The onboarding process is a selective one, which seeks to attract the best devs who can add value to the Open Platform eco-system. Devs are first “whitelisted”; prior to a strict vetting process to protect against malicious or fraudulent developers. After being selected, the devs will be tracked using a reputation system to ensure that they are adding value to the system; as well as reflecting the integrity that the Open team envisioned for the platform.
Initially, devs will receive an OPEN token airdrop as an incentive to build on the platform and ensure they will have the tokens needed to stake, so they can build their first Open Scaffolds. Active developers will continue to receive airdrops at regular intervals with the amount being based on the number of “scaffolds” the dev has added to the platform. Devs can also push these airdrop token to users as an incentive to use the apps/Dapps that they develop through the OPEN Scaffold functions. This will help increase user sign up, as the incentivizing program will help to attract developers to the network.
The symbiotic payment relationship between Open and developers, and developers and users is unprecedented and one of the forces which is driving the Open Platform toward future widespread adoption. It is refreshing to see a development team that is not only proficient in tech, but also understands the necessary aspects of marketing to prevent the project from become obscure; as so many have recently.
Open Platform is nearing conclusion of its’ ICO after raising $30 million dollar in its’ private sale round. Although many who were waiting for the public and pre-sales might be very disappoint, they can find comfort in knowing that they picked a winner. I'm certain that Open will hit some of the best exchanges soon, so please visit some of the following links to get a better idea of what Open Platform has to offer:
