We’ve got a double bill for you this week, friends. That’s right, we’ve got the top posts and relevant stats from two weeks of Utopian contributions! And what a batch it is! We’ve got excellent contributions from the Analysis, Blog, and Development categories for the first of these weeks, and terrific contributions from Translations, Video Tutorials, and Anti-Abuse for the second. This is a powerful demonstration of the diversity of quality content enabled and supported by Utopian.

Also, as we do every week - and will continue until month’s end - we remind you of our IndieGogo campaign. Your support would be much appreciated.

Suggestion: Proposal for a capability-based facet-contract implementation for the STEEM blockchain. by @mattockfs [ideas]

The Steem blockchain is so dynamic such that it can house many kinds of applications. @mattockfs made a very lovely proposal to the Steem repository which, if implemented, could benefit the entire community. @mattockfs’s proposal did not get staff picked just because the idea was solid. The way he structured and presented the plan, in a straightforward and understandable format, was also a significant factor. He provided both a technical overview and and a simple example to make his proposal easily implementable if the PO or other community devs decide to do so. This is an excellent example of the kind of contributions we want to see in the Idea category.

Our early adopters are shaping the future of Open Source and Blockchain

Collaboration is important, especially when it comes to open source projects. Utopian strives to support innovative open source initiatives by creating more connections and partnerships with other inspiring open source projects. Our partner initiatives, presented here, are striving to disrupt the future of open source and blockchain by providing innovative solutions and tangible use cases.



CoinGecko.com


CoinGecko provides a fundamental analysis of the cryptocurrency market. In addition to tracking price, volume and market capitalization, CoinGecko tracks community growth, open-source code development, major events, and on-chain metrics for over 4,000 publicly traded cryptocurrencies.

CoinGecko is a true supporter of the open source ecosystem and has collaborated with Utopian to supercharge the development of their various open source projects, including CryptoExchange, a Ruby library to query market data from cryptocurrency exchanges.

In the true spirit of open source CoinGecko has offered 500K impressions and listing on their newsletter with over 120K subscribers to help Utopian succeed in the running Indiegogo campaign. We thank the entire team at CoinGecko.com. Consider voting for CoinGecko as a witness.


Obyte.org


Obyte is an open cryptocurrency platform ready for real world adoption. Obyte data is stored and ordered using directed acyclic graph (DAG) rather than blockchain. This allows all users to secure each other’s data by referencing earlier data units created by other users. This method also removes scalability limits common in blockchains, such as the blocksize issue.

Utopian and Obyte have long collaborated to localize Obyte and bring it to international audiences. This was achieved thanks to the amazing translation effort of our community, currently speaking more than 29 languages.

As a truly open source initiative, Obyte is also supporting the Utopian Indiegogo campaign and Fundition campaign by listing it in their newsletter and spreading the word through their community.

Reviewhunt will be the second DApp on the HUNT Platform that will enable tech lovers to run review campaigns and create product launch hype by hunters. It is currently under development, and its target launch is 2Q 2019.

Steemhunt believes in the importance of open source. In addition to having their work fully transparent and available on https://github.com/Steemhunt, Steemhunt is also supporting Utopian’s Indiegogo campaign and Fundition campaign by providing a special reward for campaign supporters. Learn everything about it in this announcement.


The Quasar Framework


The Quasar Framework enables responsive single page apps, server-side render apps, progressive web apps, hybrid mobile apps (that look native!) & Electron apps, all using the same codebase.

Quasar has collaborated with Utopian on many occasions to empower new applications with their awesome framework on the blockchain and beyond.

Being a true supporter of open source and Utopian, the Quasar Framework is also providing a special reward for the supporters of the running Indiegogo campaign and Fundition campaign for Utopian. Learn everything about it in the announcement.

EFTG.eu


The aim of The European Financial Transparency Gateway consists of developing a Blockchain platform infrastructure technically to empower citizens and investors by giving them increased accessibility to publicly regulated information provided by the participating Officially Appointed Mechanisms (OAM). The EFTG Pilot Project also aims to provide search capability of member states’ data, such as the Annual Financial Reports (AFR), in order to contribute to further integrated capital markets. EFTG is based on a new approach to build a distributed and decentralized system by interconnecting all the OAMs in Europe into a dedicated platform for sharing data instead of exchanging it, also adding full traceability and ownership management of the submitted and consumed financial data.
