On Saturday 27 October, NEX celebrated our first birthday in Amsterdam. Over 100 guests were able to meet the team in person and participate in a live “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session with Co-Founder Fabio Canesin and Chief Design Officer Nathaniel Walpole. They also enjoyed their NEX birthday cake and goodie bags!

 

Saturday’s crowd, several of whom had travelled to the event from abroad, represented one of NEX’s proudest achievements: the fantastic community that has gathered around our company. We have constantly been surprised by the enthusiasm and commitment of our community, which are quite exceptional even for the cryptocurrency space, and we’re grateful for all the support we have received. Our work couldn’t take place without our community.

For this reason, we also used Saturday’s party to announce the NEX Community, a special forum where NEX holders can chat with each other, look for support and talk to the team. Such a space represents the kind of social media interaction we believe to be most productive. It should guarantee the accuracy of information communicated about NEX and improve users’ experience of discussing it with others.

 

Right now, over 17,000 addresses hold the NEX token. We have 70,000 followers on Twitter. The goal of the NEX Community is to bring these people together. We want to grow enthusiasm around NEX and listen to our customers’ ideas.

The NEX Community eliminates disinformation and spam by combining a minimal barrier of entry with active moderation by the NEX team.

 

Anyone can read the Community, but if you wish to post, you must log in via the NEX Extension. To register an account, you must have at least 1 NEX in your wallet. After registration you can log in irrespective of your NEX balance.

The NEX Community is also actively moderated by the NEX team. If someone wishes to link to scams or spread disinformation, they effectively acquired NEX only to have their posts deleted. The presence of the team on the Community makes it a source of reliable information about NEX — even for those who only read the forum without holding NEX tokens. Any information posted on the forum by third parties will be confirmed or denied by the team, making it an authority within what is often an extremely noisy space.

Of course, NEX offers a great user experience. Seamless integration with the NEX Extension allows for a straightforward login procedure. Topic categories are neatly arranged, favorite topics can be watched and post previews show you how your formatting will look. Our adopted robot Wen also offers interactive tutorials on both basic and advanced forum features.

 

Productive discussion is encouraged by the chance to obtain badges and higher user levels. As the Community grows, more features and user levels will become available.

The NEX Community is the number one forum for all things NEX. Join today to ask questions, share your ideas and help us make NEX the premier platform for distributed financial services!
