@MinterBITBot that’s been rolled out today is an alpha version of a sidechain service developed for Minter 2 by an independent blockchain team. In early summer already, you’ll be able to exchange BIP for Bitcoin, Ether, and Atom via atomic smart contracts similar to Uniswap. There’ll be a lot of liquidity, and it will all be automated.
Sidechains and smart contracts are the future of interaction between all market players with maximum execution guarantees.
Tests will be run with 25,000 USDT and 25,000 BIT in reserves.
According to our information, this marks the fourth project moving full-steam ahead towards connecting Minter and other blockchains through a single MinterAPI. If you’re currently working on such a product, get in touch with @seo2z should you need any help—right now, decentralized liquidity is our top priority.

Our Focus
Once TON’s American story came to an end, it has become clear what regulators expect from blockchain projects, especially those targeting mass audience. So from now on, there will be three tracks for us to follow:
1. Work with small- and medium-sized businesses
2. In the U.S. (grants) and E.U. (sales)
3. Rewards mechanics exclusively, i.e., services giving coins to their users for completing specific actions
It will be all built as SaaSes on top of public blockchains managed via a uniform MinterAPI.
It’s that very mass adoption, with the only difference being that we’ll enjoy it through businesses who’ll also benefit from applying decentralized databases and guaranteed contract execution conditions.
minter.org will become a hub for solutions provided by all developers from the community and will rely on MinterID, a single account for each user on the network.
Think of it as WordPress (in a good way), which offers businesses flexibility in setting up solutions, be it entirely customized implementations or built-in plugins. Only in our case, everything runs on the blockchain and its native digital coin BIP, which is the one that makes it all work.
Coming soon are releases, implementations, and business cases to brag about. The Internet of Money starts with rewards that one can spend however they want.

The BIT algocoin facilitates processes for stores:
– Accept BIP and custom coins, exchanging them for the BIT stablecoin on the fly
– Send BIT to a special address, entering your Ethereum wallet in the payload
– Allow approx. one minute for USDT to be deposited (depends on the Ethereum network’s block time)
It works perfectly with @AnyCashBot, which offers loads of conversion options (thanks Scrooge for the heads-up!)

Minter Network’s Official Representatives
Starting summer, Minter Development Foundation will launch a program for licensing official representatives who will engage in the development of network’s products. In each country, one to three companies will be established. Upon the completion of certification procedures, they will be able to provide the following services:
– Development of individual solutions for enterprises
– Implementation of open-source solutions presented by the community
– Consultations on the issues related to launching a validator on the mainnet and sidechains
– Legal counseling
– Token purchase & sale coordination
– Participation in conferences, meetups, and other public events
Licenses will be awarded for a period of 12 months, with the option of a further extension. Representatives must cover their activity on a regular basis in the form of reports.
A legal entity registered in the country of representation is a mandatory condition.
MDF will allocate 100,000 to 300,000 BIP per month, depending on the overall activity and results shown.
In countries whose population is more than 100 million people, there may be three representatives; less than 100 million, two; less than 20 million, one. For individual countries with highly active communities, these limits may be revisited.
We kindly ask all interested parties to start preparatory work. We will publish the application form at some point next week. Selected winners will automatically appear on the minter.org website, sorted by country of presence. They will also be able to set their status to, for example, “Minter’s Official Representative in Ukraine” or “Minter’s Rep.” for short.
Each representative will have to specify their company’s key person to obtain the Verified status within the MinterID framework.
On its part, the team will provide representatives with maximum support and access to solutions that have not been released yet.
MDF aims to have no fewer than 25 representatives by the end of year. Through them, the network will enter local markets.
