Whoa! Can you believe it’s already February? Seems like just yesterday we were ringing in the new year. February is a short but fruitful month — check out everything we accomplished just this past week including the Open Innovation Hub launch!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kambria Open Innovation Hub Launch in Silicon Valley

Our Open Innovation Hub Program launched this week! Through the Hub, Kambria aims to foster joint collaboration by connecting pools of raw talent, world-class engineers, and scientists with large corporations.

MASTER PLAN INFOGRAPHIC SERIES

This week we featured a three-part series to further explain how we will work towards the primary initiatives in our Business Model Master Plan.

Part I: How Kambria Will Generate Real-World Revenue Streams

Kambria’s mission is to create a strong, sustainable ecosystem that supports all interested parties both from the top down and from the bottom up, thereby reaping the full potential of the Kambria platform. Take a look at how Kambria will generate real-world revenue streams as part of our sustainable platform strategy.

Part II: How Kambria Will Build a Strong Developer Community

Building a strong developer community is crucial to developing a strong, sustainable ecosystem. Without talented and engaged developers, Kambria will not thrive. That’s why we will use many approaches — such as incentives, hackathons, educational programs, and collaboration within our Open Innovation Hub — to meet this objective.

Part III: How Kambria Will Build a Strong Token Economy

In order to build a strong token economy, we need to create a high demand for KAT. Our entire model centers around the KAT token, as it will be used to facilitate the transfer of value for every aspect of the platform.

To accomplish this, we have built all the functionality on Kambria to require KAT to utilize any of the innovative features within the ecosystem. This includes the ability to stake KAT to vote for viable projects, win badges, and extra membership benefits.
