Phase 1: Bloom Invitation System and Voting
Phase 1 will allow for users to use BLT to invite their friends and colleagues to seed the initial network securely. Users with BLT will be able to vote on early development-related proposals for the future of the network.
Phase 2: Bloom Identity Matching (BloomID)
Phase 2 will deploy an application allowing users to verify their identity and get matched with their BloomID. During this phase, users will be able to confirm identity information as well as add additional information which will be reflected in their score.
Phase 3: Credit Staking (Precursor to BloomScore)
Peer to Peer staking modules will be built first, followed by organizational staking.<br />
Phase 4: Creditworthiness Assessment (BloomScore)
Phase 4 will allow users to check their score, as well as open up a developer ecosystem for additional decentralized lenders to check a given user’s BloomScore, providing sufficient privileges are granted from the loan recipient.
Phase 5: Bloom Credit Protocol Launch + BloomCard
Once the risk assessment and scoring protocol is complete, Bloom will launch the BloomCard. The BloomCard will serve as the first full credit card on the blockchain, offering credit services to the nearly three billion individuals who are currently not able to participate in the global credit ecosystem.
Phase 6: Democratized Autonomous Credit Infrastructure
BLT flows through the network. Lenders, data attestation providers, and borrowers all own Bloom Token and their amount acquired will correlate to their influence on the network. As a result, there is an even distribution of BLT relative to a given player’s influence in the ecosystem. Assigning the ability to propose and vote on scoring-level improvements and accrediting actors within the network to these tokens creates a fair and democratized setup.

Coolomat
Coolomat Market will change the online e-commerce grocery sector with an innovative approach connecting customers and producers, big and small, over a new innovative online platform utilizing blockchain technology and open source software.

BlockStorage
BlockStorage is a protocol built to connect and abstract all communications with the blockchain, simplifying the user’s life. The current state of cloud storage, with dozens of reports of security issues, the overall perception of lack of privacy, along with the usual high monthly fees calls for a new kind of storage service, one that guarantees data privacy at lower (or no) costs. From those concerns, we envisioned BlockStorage, a storage protocol based on the principles of ease of use and privacy. Built with the casual user in mind, it allows anyone to store and recover any type of file on any existing blockchain, without cost (besides the transaction fee to store the file). BlockStorage leverages blockchain technology to ensure the safest and most transparent storage experience. Our protocol allows users to seamlessly upload files to the blockchain of their choice while taking care of the data encryption and the respective blockchain protocol. And, because of the inherent nature of blockchains, it assures that the data will never be lost. In short, it will store the files for life without any recurring costs.
Upcoming
Adrealm
Adrealm aims to rebuild the digital advertising ecosystem and cultivate a self-sustaining open ecosystem for all participants to achieve advertising efficiency. Built on ERC-20 standard of the Ethereum platform, Adrealm connects advertisers, service providers, content publishers, developers etc on its decentralized public ledger ensuring privacy and no third-party management of data. Thanks to its three-tier architecture made of an on-chain layer, off-chain layer, and a service layer, speed and efficiency can be guaranteed and the industry pain-points such as fraud, low-quality ads, and data leakage can be overcome. Adrealm relies on a particular consensus mechanism called Proof of Valid Traffic (PoVT) that makes high-quality ads and traffic the fundamental criteria for the operational success of transactions.

Dether
Dether provides a decentralized peer-to-peer ether network that enables anyone on Earth to buy ether with cash and spend it at physical stores nearby. No bank account is needed, just a mobile phone with internet access. Our belief is that the beauty and power of the Ethereum technology should be easily accessible to all. We’ve decided to put all of our energy and that of the Ethereum community into helping us build the first trustless solution that will allow anyone to be able to interact with the Ethereum blockchain no matter who you are, where you are, and without the need for a middleman.
