Fishcoin (FISH)

Drawing on our team’s extensive industry network and the trust we have earned throughout the years we have developed a strong base of partners to scale Fishcoin.

A basic CDT (Catch Documentation and Traceability) application built in Angular for passing records between supply chain stakeholders while using a smart contract to reference those transactions on the Rinkeby Testnet. This is mostly for supply chain demonstration purposes while the full network and protocol are being developed.

We begin private demonstrations of the MVP and will be making it available for private beta testers on Google Play and the App Store. We will also be adding a QR code handoff feature for increased verification.

Our team is already scheduled to be in Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia in collaboration with multiple Fishcoin partners working primarily on shrimp/prawn farms demonstrating traceability back to the feed. We already have deployments planned with NGOs and multiple seafood companies including one of the larger in the industry.

We demonstrated mobile top-up transfers in Thailand and Indonesia, and initiated development of the platform MVP as well as our direct partnership with mobile industry partners.

We began the Private Sale phase of the Fishcoin Token Sale in approved jurisdictions with immediate interest from blockchain and seafood industry insiders. The Presale will begin in September and the Crowdsale in October.

We have multiple partner announcements related to scaling mobile incentives to be made in the coming weeks. Check back on our Medium soon.

In addition to continued demonstrations in Thailand and Indonesia, we have interest from partners to deploy in the US (Alaska), India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Kenya, Mexico and Ecuador. As with all supply chain pilots and demonstrations, the intent is to follow actual seafood trade so we will follow the lead of partners and announce locations on Medium as they are confirmed.

We will be enabling Bluetooth with the demo app in order to pilot using Seafood Analytics’ sensors, providing freshness related data from harvest to consumption.

This will be the first version of the Network Layer using IPFS and Ethereum. This early release will be focused on the KDEs (Key Data Elements) required for SIMP (the US Seafood Import Monitoring Program).

In addition to general refinements to the protocol this version will begin to incorporate a wider set of data standards in cooperation with other data initiatives in the seafood industry, as well as a wider scope beyond the KDEs required for SIMP.

We will continue execution of supply chain demonstrations from our queue of early partners.

While our early pilots are focused on demonstrating value to the industry, in early 2019 we will be helping those early pilot partners to begin operationalizing and scaling their usage within their supply chains. As an example of scale, it is not uncommon for seafood companies to have thousands or even tens of thousands of small-scale producers in their network for certain species.

In parallel to the Starfish Protocol Network development, we will also be building a new hybrid DApp demo that will ultimately replace the original MVP. This will demonstrate how stakeholders can utilize the decentralized network, but at the same time partition elements of data capture that can be for the company’s proprietary operations.

In addition to fixes and refinements, this release toward the end of Q2, will focus on broadly aligning with existing global standards within the seafood industry, as well as those required by various major regulatory bodies (US, EU, etc.)

After years of collaborating with the US Department of State on Fishackathon we were asked this year to manage the global event with a focus on blockchain. Last year’s event attracted more than 3,500 developers from 40+ cities in 30+ countries, in addition to global brands who sponsor the event each year. We will continually use this annual event to attract a wide developer community.

We will be constantly updating developer documentation along with open source developer libraries and prebuilt components for developers building on top of the protocol.

We will continue execution of supply chain demonstrations from our queue of partners eager to use blockchain in their supply chains.

The focus will be adding additional standards and data types in collaboration with both public and private stakeholders.

We envision that as more business models become available to sensor providers in the seafood industry, the cost of sensors will dramatically decrease resulting in a significant increase in data capture within the industry. In anticipation of this trend we will be focused on aligning with existing standards, as well as creating new standards in collaboration with partners, for IoT sensor data in the seafood industry.
