Lots of people are sleeping on one the biggest things @quant_network is currently involved in-ODAP (Open Digital Asset Protocol).

So what is exactly #ODAP and why this makes $QNT one of the most significant and, regarding #crypto mcap, undervalued projects?

Time for a THREAD⬇️


1/ODAP is the protocol for communication between gateways, primarily with an enterprise focus.
So banks, central banks etc. would run a gateway in Overledger Network and ODAP would be the protocol for gateways to communicate with each other in a secure and trustless manner. $QNT


2/ #ODAP Interfaces are the open source connectors that will connect a gateway to #blockchains and any existing network / API. That is based on the standards from work done at ISO TC 307 which 57 countries are working towards.
$QNT CEO Gilbert Verdian is the founder of TC307.


3/We know from the submitted drafts via #IETF (the Internet Engineering Task Force) $QNT is working on #ODAP with:

✅@MIT

✅@intel

but, there’s more to the story as we found out from Gilbert that US Government, Juniper, payment and telecom companies are also there.


4/So how it all started with #ODAP?
Let’s go back to $QNT CEO Gilbert Verdian’s interview with Santiago Velez on #RealVision (October 14th) and try to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
I’ll forward his words ⬇️
I have started a position in $SSPK.
-
SPAC - $SSPK Silver Spike Acquisition Comp

They are merging with WM Holdings, Inc who owns Weedmaps. Founded in 2008. Lead by CEO Chris Beals. Former life-sciences attorney (important - will come in later).


Basic Description:

The business is a two-sided marketplace which serves customers and sellers of marijuana products.

Who are they?

On the consumer side, https://t.co/sHZKPFCY7I which is a marketplace for standardized marijuana products.

Weed Maps is the world’s largest base of cannabis users with over 10M MAUs, 90% of which are cannabis users, and a stunning 70% are DAILY users.


A key part of the marketplace is the differentiation between alcohol/tobacco and cannabis. Cannabis is *not* a standardized product so Weedmaps compiles millions of data points from strain traits, user feedback, effects, etc., to suggest the best products for the user.

Weedmaps is operating at a 1.5B GMV run rate. With cannabis illegal on the Federal level, they do not currently take a percentage of this GMW but stated that they plan to with Federal legalization.
Thread: William Leech (1881-1968) was an Irish painter. He was a Post Impressionist who painted light & colour. Unknown outside of Ireland his pictures are a delight for the eye.


Born in Dublin into a professional Unionist family he went to the Metropolitan School & then the RHA Art School where he had the good luck to study under Walter Osborne. He left for France in 1901. (Images by Osborne)


Today is the final day for Christmas deliveries for the Republic of Ireland. Please order ASAP so I have time to have them shipped. Thanks!


He spent time in France & was open to influences. Later Matisse & Derain were his lodestars. He was at the Académie Julian (the main studio for foreigners in Paris). He went on to Brittany (1903). Paris (1901), Beach, Dublin (c1906) & Concarneau (c1903) & Blue Nets (c1903)


Leech was back in Dublin in 1903. He tried as a society portrait painter but there was not the demand there. He was noted for his small plein air landscapes. He left for London (1910-14). Caves, Concarneau (c1910-3), Howth (c1909) & Playing by the Shore (c1910s) & Seascape (nd)
