Second Quarter 2018 Review: Riding It Together
It feels like a 2018 Q1 déjà vu as I sit here compiling Zen’s accomplishment for 2018 Q2 while the market bleeds red. Crypto is not for the faint of heart or those not vested in it for the tech and social impact this technology will bring to the world. Even with the ups and downs, it’s still an exciting time to be alive working in the most cutting-edge industry that has a low-barrier for competition… All working towards a goal of bringing technology that will equalize the world.
Zen in 2018: Usability, Transparency, and Innovation.
Zen aims to build a virtual nation that allows individuals to communicate, transact, perform commerce, exchange goods and services, and build applications… all without having users necessarily know they are doing so on the Zen network.
We cannot achieve this goal all at once so let’s focus on some themes and accomplishments that will get us there.
Our community has expanded to nearly 70,000 users and the growth continues thanks to our amazing team: marketing, engineering, business development, operations, finance, legal, and user experience/customer support.
Zen released two software upgrades, developed a flagship wallet that will standardize the look/feel of our products while upgrading existing wallets, built partnerships with other organizations, integrated with other products, built a support system with excellent documentation, etc. All while dealing with crisis such as a 51% attack and volatile market conditions.
Are you in it for the tech?
Let’s create a P2P, borderless world together and measure our progress towards this goal. Brace yourself and let’s ride the slump together.

Don’t see your country or city on the map/list? Help bring Zen into your city and organize a local event! Contact us and find out how we can work together to make this happen! So what exciting tech do we have for the remaining of 2018 and beyond? First, transitioning to sidechains that will allow dApps and moving our secure node and node architecture on-chain making Zen even more decentralized! And finally, along with IOHK, we will also complete a prototype for our Scaling Solution.
