Unification publishes revised whitepaper
As Unification grows into our next phase, we felt it was important that supporters of our project had access to an even deeper technical understanding of our project.

To forward this goal, we decided to reissue our whitepaper with enhanced technical specifications, including detailed descriptions of precisely how HAIKU, our C++-based smart contract protocol, operates.

Unification’s revised whitepaper is available for download on our website Unification.com/Foundation/

Beta testing of CAPSULE launches

After significant development work on CAPSULE, Unification’s proprietary SDK, the team at the Unification Foundation lauched a highly selective beta test, designed to support a small number of apps handpicked to build on top of the Unification platform.

CAPSULE is an SDK installed on both the client side and the server side that allows an enterprise’s data sets to be accessed, bought, and sold cross-chain and cross-industry.

Applications for beta testing are now being accepted. Please fill out the form here to be considered for a spot.

New partners begin building on top of Unification

This month, Unification secured partnerships with multiple enterprises who have chosen to build their applications on top of Unification’s platform.

Unification is excited to announce our partnership with Hintchain, a protocol that connects users and companies using blockchain technology to create robust food profiles. Unification provides the platform for Hintchain to seamlessly plug its existing user base into blockchain.

Also announced this month was our new partnership with BLABBER, the first location-based and reward-driven social platform that allows users to monetize their content and personal data.

As BLABBER’s CEO Michael Freund stated in their press release about the partnership, “We practically waited for a technology partner like Unification to embark on a proven Smart Contract technology that fits in our existing application.”

Several more enterprise partnerships will be announced in the coming months. Stay tuned for articles detailing our new initiatives in September.

Coming up in September

In order to secure funding to continue work on our product, Unification is launching a private sale in September. For more details, please visit our website.

Additional advisors to be announced
Unification has signed several new top-tier advisors, whose work with the project has not been formally announced yet. These strategic advisors are already lending their perspectives to the project and helping to share the direction that Unification is heading in the future. We look forward to introducing them to our community in September.

Additional partnerships to be announced
Unification’s enterprise partnership team has been busy working with potential partners to help them assess the viability of onboarding their user bases onto Unification’s platforms. Many of these talks have been highly productive, and our supporters can expect to see the announcement of several new enterprise partnerships during September.

Continued focus on development
Within the Unification team, development of the product continues to be the top priority. Our development team is focused on beta testing CAPSULE, our proprietary SDK, as well as releasing new versions of the HAIKU Server Node.
