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.

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.
