- Cognida Network and its open source platform enable enterprises to more securely manage connected devices, systems and shared information using blockchain agnostic technology. Cognida delivers standardized security APIs for interaction with multiple blockchains. The Platform secures enterprise assets and provides a Service Interface into a networkof trusted vendors. It will be released to the open source Cognida Foundation at the launch of the Cognida Service Network.
- Cognida was founded by Windmill Enterprise, co-founded by Michael Hathaway of Information Xchange, Inc, and Bing Byington (father of Dustin Byington from Wanchain) of CareConnex. It is difficult to say what the role of some team members are as they are listed both as leadership and advisors - which usually means they are neither. Example is Wayne Lawler who has no mention of Cognida or Windmill Enterprise on his Linkedin. In addition, the dev team does not seem to have much blockchain experience but Wanchain and Rivetz connections cannot hurt. Well, Rivetz might.
- 20M cap, TGE in July will be the same time as the Beta launch of their platform. They claim to have a private demo which might be good for them, it being private is unlucky for potential investors making it somewhat a gamble.
- Cognida is a serious project with real potential adoption, but might suffer from "the Factom syndrome" - bad presentation of a problem your typical crypto investor does not understand, and is not very much interested in. Might be a good long term hold.

Binance is planning to launch a decentralized exchange in the coming months and almost everyone is invited, founder and Chief Executive Officer Changpeng Zhao said.

The Binance team will either have no say or a loose grasp on the coins that list on the network, steering away from the current model of tight control on the digital assets that are traded on its exchange, Zhao said in an interview. Conditions to list on the centralized exchange, which will coexist with the decentralized platform, will remain the same.
