Dear BLOCKv Community,

The day has finally come — we are proud to unveil the BLOCKv Platform (Beta) and the Developer Portal to you! It’s never been easier to build smart digital objects that bring the digital world to life. The promise of supporting our developer community to help usher in a new experiential economy is here.

The BLOCKv Platform — Your Interface to Blockchain:

Our platform makes it easy to:

• Build digital objects of value on or off blockchain through vAtoms
• Lower the costs and time to market entry, reducing the complexity mask to blockchain applications
• Generate revenue from selling, redeeming and exchanging digital objects
• Create new communication channels to engage and interact with users
• Transact using digital objects (e.g. exchange, purchase, and market)

Platform at a Glance:

The last three years have been quite the journey, with many lessons learned along the way. Scaling to deliver on the promise of a new virtual goods economy required careful planning and strategic execution. In this first iteration of the platform release, you will have access to:

APIs

• REST/JSON based endpoints to interact with the platform and enable developers to build custom templates and viewers that provide the end user with immersive experiences.

Mobile SDKs

• Easy-to-integrate SDKs that wrap the API. The SDKs provide iOS and Android developers seamless access to the platform capabilities and enables them to build their own vAtom wallet apps.

The Developer Portal — Your Access to BLOCKv:

The Developer portal provides you access to the BLOCKv Platform and includes:

• Documentation
• API Reference
• Sample Apps & SDKs
• Profile Management
• Support

Documentation:

We’ve developed a comprehensive knowledge base with a rich set of documentation to help developers become proficient at building objects of value. The documents of features and functionalities cover the four main areas:

Core Concepts: ‘Getting started’ guides for

• vAtoms — Digital objects at the heart of the technology
• Templates — The way to define vAtom attributes and core behavior
• Faces — The way to define the user interface to the vAtom
• Actions — The way to define the interaction model for the vAtom

Reference:

• In depth reference for public APIs and (iOS and Android) SDKs
• Sample Request and Response messages
• Interactive Lab that allows developers to quickly try out the APIs without writing an app!

Tutorials:

• Step-by-step guides and in-depth tutorials to get developers started with their first App

Sample Apps & SDKs:

• Sample apps for iOS and Android platform with extensive guides to get started.
• iOS and Android SDKs for mobile developers to help write custom viewers

Profile Management

• Provides developers an easy way to request access to the BLOCKv platform.
• Provides ability for developers to manage their vAtom publisher VEE wallet

Support

• FAQs
• Support access via Live Chat and Email
• Direct access to the the community on StackOverflow

Looking ahead, there’s a lot more built into the platform that will become publicly available through the portal. With this beta release, today, we are starting to accept applications to access our platform. The first 20 selected developers will get their access keys and credentials within 2 weeks. In addition 100,000 VEE will be granted to the new developers to enable them to start creating and emitting vAtoms (5,000 VEE per developer). The next wave of developers will be onboarded within the following 2 weeks, etc. This staged rollout will deliver the level of support necessary to meet our customers needs and prepare us for the full public launch end of Q2, 2018.

We are thrilled to have you alongside this historical journey with us and thank you for your support!
