👋
There are a bunch of holidays this week and we're running in to a bank holiday weekend, so this week's update will be shorter than usual...
Even so, are we ever getting through a lot!
The app startup that I've mentioned in previous updates is called Tiipr. They are developing a tipping application that guarantees that tips go to their intended recipient, and that makes payments to staff in realtime.
It's a super smart and pretty revolutionary concept for the service industry. And the app itself is looking quite brilliant.
We are supporting them in development: the app is being built using our technology stack, and it will be running in the network using storage (including database use), caching and compute services.
A pre-launch site went live last week, running on Web and API. It will be shifted to CDN in the coming weeks. You can see it here: https://tiipr.com
Tiipr's roadmap is pretty aggressive, and should see the first build of their consumer app live this summer.
As soon as it is out there, I'll let you know.
We've also been given permission to share details about the build and its performance within the network, which will give us a great customer success story. We'll be posting about the process of building for mobile on the stack as well.
Paul has been in outreach pretty much all week - on the road and in a series of meetings.
We met with one of our advisors to chat strategy for the hiring of a senior sales director to help scale our sales approach. We expect to be moving on this hire in the next couple of months.
We now have 268 nodes in the Edge network – 22 Stargates, 20 Gateways and 226 Hosts. This gives us a total capacity of 900 Edge #1 compute units, a little over 6TB of object storage and 536 GB of cache availability. Pretty punchy given the age of the mainnet 💪
Year to date commits? 2,996 💥
And in the past month we've seen 31,415,160 requests to CDN and counting...
As a company we're heading toward our sixth birthday: we're 5 years, 10 months and 17 days old. We're basically the granddaddy of the cryptosphere 😂
We're working on a format for providing regular statistical updates. This will include a level of financial data too.
