You have until midnight Central European Summer Time (CEST) to complete KYC, so please get started now. Make sure you upload the hand-signed Form A. Your application cannot be processed without it!

Thank you to all who submitted KYC applications during our whitelist registration period which ended on Sunday May 20th.

We’ve received a remarkable quantity of applications, greatly exceeding our initial projections. Our automated process successfully screened out clearly fraudulent applications, which comprised only a small percentage of the applications received. We now have a backlog of thousands of legitimate applications that we need to manually review as required by Swiss regulations. Since you all spent a lot of time and care to prepare the required documents, we feel it is our responsibility to the community to review each and every one of the submitted applications.

Even with a team of 10 that has worked tirelessly to review documents since the start of the KYC period, it would take us more than the next 48 hours to be able to go through each application and arrive at an (approved or denied) decision based on the KYC criteria.

After discussion with our team and our advisors, we are updating the TGE start date to Thursday, May 31, 2018 13:00 CEST (Zurich) to accommodate the large amount of applications. Based on acceptance rates, we should be able to project and announce the individual caps for Batch C by Monday, May 28, 2018. For early Cardstack supporters, you will also receive notification of your individual caps which will be higher as a symbol of our appreciation. We will be updating the TGE dashboard to reflect this information in the next twelve hours.

We know how eager you are for the TGE to commence. Similarly, we are thrilled and grateful to reach this final step in our fundraiser with such strong support.

Last week Chris had a great conversation with Ivan on Tech about the kind of community we're aiming to build with Cardstack. We've covered the highlights here!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We are not collecting any funds at the moment! The TGE has been moved to next week, May 31. All contributions must be sent directly to Cardstack’s Ethereum smart contract. The Ethereum address of the smart contract will only be made available on cardstack.com after the close of the KYC/whitelisting process. Be safe and stay vigilant.

We will not solicit any funds via DM or email, ever. Always ensure that you're talking to the right person. Look for the 'admin' tag when someone provides you with information.

Just in! Here's a good writeup about the problem Cardstack wants to solve: https://www.financemagnates.com/thought-leadership/can-blockchain-unite-apps-and-dapps/

Chris participated in a panel at the recent New York Institute of Technology symposium where he discussed the need for people from a diversity of backgrounds to get involved in blockchain. Read more on our blog! https://medium.com/@cardstack/breaking-down-the-silicon-valley-silo-88a00c26bcc
