Introducing the Blockchain Dream Team
In a ground-breaking move, Augur, the Ethereum-based prediction market platform, has joined forces with Airbitz—a company synonymous with cutting-edge security and user-friendliness. This partnership isn’t just a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the future; it’s a full-on tackle into the deep end of blockchain usability!
User-Friendly Blockchain for Everyone
With Airbitz stepping in, Augur’s users can expect an identity verification process that’s as easy as pie (assuming your pie doesn’t require you to juggle cryptographic keys). This new collaboration will implement a highly secure account creation process complete with automatic encryption, backup, and synchronization. Imagine a world where interacting with blockchain feels just like using your favorite social media site—no PhD in cryptography required!
The Security Backbone: Airbitz’s Edge Security Platform
Ever since its inception in 2014, Airbitz has been on a mission to make data security accessible to consumers and enterprises alike. Their Edge Security Platform will facilitate a near-zero liability for sensitive user data storage. You can think of it as a personal vault—if vaults were really, really good at keeping things safe while offering minimal fuss in usage.
Fundraising & Future Prospects
Augur has raised an impressive $5.3 million in crowdfunding, demonstrating considerable interest in their decentralized prediction market where users can trade virtual shares based on real-world events. As the excitement grows, so does the market for those shares, which fluctuate as predictions come in. But now, thanks to Airbitz, navigating this market won’t require an advanced degree in blockchain jargon.
Voices from the Team
Joey Krug, Core Developer at Augur, candidly stated,
“One of the biggest usability issues with decentralized apps is that there’s no good way to store private keys and account data without a centralized server: Airbitz solves this problem for Augur.”
Such endorsements are pivotal, as they reflect confidence in the usability enhancements Airbitz brings to the table.
Setting the Standard for Decentralized Apps
The deployment of Airbitz’s Edge Security Platform will elevate Augur’s user experience to unparalleled heights. Paul Puey, Co-founder/CEO of Airbitz noted that this partnership will lead to the most seamless account management tools in the industry. 👏
Jack Peterson, another Core Developer at Augur, highlights the user-centric approach of their vision:
“We want Augur to be just like using a regular website, from the user’s point of view.”
This could truly bridge the gap between traditional online experiences and the ever-complex world of decentralized applications.
