Happy Canada Day! Jaxx Liberty Beta Is Now Available.

Jaxx Liberty Beta Launch

Decentral, a leading innovator in blockchain technologies, founded by Ethereum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio, today announced the launch of Jaxx Liberty, a new cryptocurrency wallet that will redefine the way people manage, secure, and interact with their digital assets. Jaxx Liberty overcomes the fragmentation in the cryptocurrency landscape by providing users a single, unified experience for accessing the tools they use day-to-day to manage their digital lives across more than 70 cryptocurrencies.

“Before the web browser, adoption of the Internet was limited to tech-savvy early adopters. That’s the stage we’re at today with cryptocurrency,” said Anthony Di Iorio, CEO and founder of Decentral & Jaxx. “Jaxx Liberty is the web browser for your digital assets, empowering the masses to adopt the benefits of cryptocurrency and blockchain.”

Jaxx Liberty builds on the success of Jaxx, one of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets, downloaded by millions. The new interface introduces a unified dashboard and module-based approach to provide information that everyday people need to navigate the cryptocurrency ecosystem through features including news, market data, portfolio and a multi-chain Block Explorer. In keeping with Decentral’s strong values around privacy, Jaxx Liberty is built around a business model that does not collect users’ personal information and respects their autonomy. Jaxx Liberty, like all previous versions of Jaxx, is a free service.

“As the popularity of cryptocurrency continues to grow, the ecosystem has become increasingly fragmented,” said Di Iorio. “Jaxx Liberty takes an important step towards unifying and empowering the blockchain community to take control of their digital lives.”

Today’s launch of Jaxx Liberty, the flagship product of the Decentral Project, is the first in a series of products coming in 2018 aimed at informing and empowering the masses to take control of their digital lives through decentralized technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency. In the coming months, Decentral will launch additional products including:

  • Decentral Unity (JXX) Loyalty Token – A rewards system to encourage people to use Jaxx Liberty and engage with our partners.
  • Decentral Academy – A trusted information portal for everyday people to access unbiased, comprehensive information about the power and potential of decentralized technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency.
  • MyJaxx – A gamified experience to promote engagement with partners, designed to entertain and inform people as they navigate the Jaxx ecosystem.

The beta version of Jaxx Liberty is available today in Canada and will be rolled out globally in the coming weeks.

Decentral Inc. and Gowling WLG form historic strategic blockchain alliance

Decentral, Canada’s leading blockchain company and the creator of Jaxx, and Gowling WLG, a multinational law firm and leader in the blockchain space, have today announced a strategic alliance to optimize the many commercial and legal applications of blockchain technology.

The relationship will allow the two companies to fuse their expertise on a number of significant initiatives. From engineering practical smart contract technology and drafting foundational legal precedents documents, to helping regulators establish frameworks that encourage the responsible growth of Canada’s thriving blockchain sector.

Based in Toronto, Decentral is one of Canada’s most recognizable blockchain companies. Its Founder and CEO, Anthony Diiorio, co-founded Ethereum. Decentral’s flagship product is Jaxx, a cryptocurrency wallet and multi-token blockchain interface.

Diiorio believes the alliance is a sign that the blockchain space is rapidly progressing. “Decentral’s relationship with Gowling WLG spans a number of years, and we are delighted to form an alliance that enables us to work even closer together on a number of transformative blockchain industry initiatives. Canada is one of the leaders on the world stage for blockchain and cryptocurrency and I am confident Decentral’s strategic alliance with Gowling WLG will further cement the country’s place as an innovation hub,” said Diiorio.

Two blockchain leaders unite

Usman Sheikh, Head of Gowling WLG’s Blockchain & Smart Contracts Group, said:  “Decentral is a major player on the world blockchain stage. As Gowling WLG continues to assert itself as the Canadian legal industry’s blockchain torchbearer, our collaboration with Decentral will ensure our clients have access to the cutting-edge tools and forward-looking expertise needed to succeed in an increasingly competitive landscape.”

As part of the agreement, Decentral will help Gowling WLG develop its internal blockchain infrastructure and client-facing tools. Gowling WLG will provide comprehensive legal guidance on Decentral’s current practices and ongoing projects.

Canada emerges as leader in blockchain

Decentral’s President Addison Cameron-Huff said: “This alliance demonstrates Canada’s leadership in the blockchain space — a winning combination of a world-class blockchain software team plus a best-of-breed legal team. Together, Gowling WLG and Decentral will help to refine and architect the burgeoning Canadian blockchain industry, lifting the technology to new heights.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with another great Canadian company in the cryptocurrency space,” said Etherparty Chief Executive Kevin Hobbs. Hobbs added, “Etherparty will allow anyone to create, publish, and integrate smart contracts into their business and application.” Hobbs suggested that the partnership also opens the door for wider mobile adoption of smart contracts, which represents a major step forward for the blockchain ecosystem.  

Etherparty FUEL tokens went on sale to the public on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 9:00 AM (PDT). The sale runs until Oct. 29 unless all tokens are sold prior. Those interested can visit etherparty.io/ico to take part in the crowdsale. For more information visit etherparty.io and subscribe to the mailing list.
