The Foundation’s central objectives include supporting innovation and implementation of the DigitalBits blockchain, shaping commercial standards and requests for technical development, expanding the DigitalBits Community through a diverse regional strategy, providing accountability and sustainability practices, and facilitating partnerships and ecosystem development.
The DigitalBits Project
The DigitalBits Project is an open-source project that developed the DigitalBits blockchain protocol and a secure, low-cost global transaction network, and tools. This blockchain protocol and network layer support various use cases including consumer digital assets, specifically branded currencies.
The DigitalBits Project, since its founding in 2017 and launching of the DigitalBits blockchain in March 2018, has seen a large array of support from an ecosystem of top-level partners, including developers, other blockchain projects, exchanges and enterprise partners. As the new project lead for the DigitalBits Project, the XDB Foundation will also leverage these building blocks to support the next stage of commercial integrations and brand adoption. The Foundation will provide a framework to help ensure longevity, integrity, and effective collaboration between the Foundation, the DigitalBits Project and a hallmark of commercial companies.
As Q2 approaches its end, the DigitalBits Project is planning its roadmap updates under the oversight of the XDB Foundation. A new category – Brand Integration – has been included in the DigitalBits Roadmap to share updates from the robust ecosystem partners that will leverage the DigitalBits blockchain for their unique solutions.
