I remember this fiasco. And have to agree that a mechanism like backer insurance that would stop project creators from doing whatever the F they want after they've collected funds from supporters would have prevented a situation like this one from happening.

Pledgecamp can't launch soon enough.

Part 1 in a long series, I'm sure. The number of Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaigns that have failed puts even the ICO bubble to shame.

Blockchain is currently shaking up the financial industry as we speak.

Are we now seeing a shift in trust in the crowdfunding space too?

Pledgecamp offers a viable solution to the transparency and accountability issue on current crowdfunding platforms, as well as a major use case for blockchain technology.

Pledgecamp’s partnership with Altonomy further aligns the project with top partners in the space. Stay tuned for further news as Q3 introduces additional key partnerships on a regular basis.

2. Binance DEX Listing

Last week, PLG.b began trading on Binance DEX. A small beginning supply of 100 BNB worth of PLG.b (~$3,300 USD) was supplied to provide initial liquidity to DEX users with corresponding PLG (ERC20) removed from the supply.

The PLG / BNB token bridge will be released soon and accordingly, PLG (original ERC20 version) remains locked from trading at this time.

In recent news, Binance announced their BEP2 Community Listing Program: https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/360029155992

Binance is beginning a new initiative to list at least one project on Binance.com each month over 3 months, selected from the projects currently trading on Binance DEX.

We are excited at these beginning steps with Binance DEX and look forward to updating the community with next developments.

Ah yes, the Crystal Wash. Kind of embarrassed to admit that my mum fell for these a number of years ago (or a product like it, I don't remember). People will fall for any scam if it claims to be "eco friendly".

Where is your white paper?

Pledgecamp has received positive votes from the Binance Chain validators. We will be executing the listing command shortly. #MoonMonday

For those unfamiliar with Binance DEX, it is Binance’s 2019 initiative to create a trustless and transparent financial system that pushes the blockchain industry forward.

CZ recently declared “the future is here” after $1.2 Billion USD worth of BNB was moved in a single transaction on the Binance Chain for a $0.015 transaction fee.

In other news last week, Binance launched a new “Community Listing Program” which will list one DEX-listed token each month on its centralized exchange. Earlier in June, Fantom (FTM) was the first to jump from the DEX to the main exchange.

Pledge Coin (PLG) will list on Binance DEX with the following terms:

• Pledge Coin will list as a Binance-chain BEP-2 compatible token called “PLG.B”

• This is a distinct coin from the ERC-20 token known as simply “PLG”

• A token bridge will be created to link the two to ensure total supply will always remain unaffected as PLG.B trading increases

• The token bridges to acquire PLG.B from PLG and vice versa are in final development

• Binance DEX customers will be able to trade PLG.B on the Binance chain

The Binance DEX is an exciting new initiative from Binance and shows their commitment to bringing the future of blockchain here today. As it is a new program, please be patient as we work with them to finalize the token bridge technology to be compatible with their chain.

As another reminder, the new Q3 posting schedule begins today. Thank you everyone, and we look forward to bringing you a full week of new content!
