Little bit of project history…
This project started back in 2019, while both of founders worked in Proultima (a small web development company located in Serbia). We were playing with Solidity code and trying to build something insignificant. On paper, it was envisioned as an on-chain form submission app (alpha name “FormChain”).
As time passed by we moved our initial idea into code, steadily built on top of it and realized it could have a huge potential (thus the code-name “The Book Coin”).
Nowadays we call it “Plunid” (PLatform for UNique IDentification) and it’s grown into a multi-purpose on-chain identity provider.
Idea 3, 2, 1, go!
We bought our first Ethereum & Solidity courses on Udemy.
Alpha name was “FormChain“
Git init
Initial git commit for TBC (original code name was “The Book Coin”).
“The Book Coin” is now “PLUNID”
That is when we decided to rename it to Plunid (since we are a PLatform for UNique IDentification).
Tether IN
Started integration with Tether.
Website added
Started building Plunid website and integrating Plunid forms.
Tether OUT, Matic IN
Poligon network gave us lower fees, better performance and scalability, so we dumped Tether integration and switched from Ethereum to Poligon blockchain.
Connected profiles
We added option for creating Connected profiles. Those would be non-identifying ETH addresses which would be used just like a bank credit cards.
Optimizations
Contract optimizations & dev environment updates
Cryptography
Added strong profile password for profile field encryption.
Share profile data
Implemented feature to share part of your profile data with authority as a way to identify yourself.
Crypto Plunid LLC
One month long process of founding a new startup for our Plunid project ended in early March. Founders transferred all rights (intellectual property) on the code to the newly created startup. This marked a new beginning as we started to expand our team.
Plunid IP protection
We got confirmation that the source code of the first version of the Plunid platform has been successfully deposited with the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia.
Crypto Plunid LLC registered as innovation startup
Crypto Plunid LLC has completed its registration and has been entered as a startup in the Register of Entities of the Innovation System of the Republic of Serbia.
Plunid EUR
In cooperation with the law firm ŽunicLaw, the company Crypto Plunid LLC prepared the required documentation and subsequently submitted applications to the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) and the Securities Commission (KHOV) for the publication of the White Paper for the first Serbian crypto currency, “Plunid EUR”.
