NEM Foundation Reveals Its Project Roadmap After Receiving $8 Million in Funding

[MUGNIA]

The NEM Foundation, a non-profit entity focused on the ongoing development of the NEM (XEM) cryptocurrency platform, reportedly acquired $8 million in funding in February to help cover its business operations.

However, the NEM Foundation is also close to filing bankruptcy due to the prolonged crypto bear market which has seen the prices of most major digital assets drop by over 80%.

Last month, the NEM project’s team requested that 210 million XEM tokens (appr. $9 million) be released from reserves in order to fund the platform’s development. This request was reportedly approved on February 20 by members of the NEM community.

Getting Ready To "Pivot To A Very New Way Of Working"
On Friday (March , the NEM Foundation published a blog post in which it noted the project’s leaders decided on how the first installment of 25 million XEM (appr. $1.05 million) would be spent. Commenting on the NEM platform’s current business strategy, Alexandra Tinsman, the newly appointed NEM Foundation president, told CoinDesk:

I think this is a vote of confidence that the industry is moving forward and that we’re ready to pivot to a very new way of working.

During the historic crypto bull market, the market capitalization of the NEM platform’s XEM tokens had surged past $15 billion. It was also around this time that there were about 150 professionals on the NEM Foundation’s payroll and the organization’s operations expanded to 20 different countries across the globe.

However, due to the sharp decline in the valuations of most cryptocurrencies, including the market cap of all XEM tokens which is now below $400 million, Tinsman revealed that the NEM Foundation laid off around 100 of its staff members.

Preparing To Launch Catapult Blockchain Engine
As mentioned in last month’s funding proposal (published by the NEM Foundation), “88 staff (69%) will be made redundant” by the planned restructuring of the enterprise level, blockchain-focused development organization. According to Tinsman:

It’s in the best interest of companies to be fiscally responsible with their platform, their products and their teams. We need to be product-focused and that’s what we’ve done. This is a sign of good things to come.

Notably, NEM’s management has also announced that it will soon be releasing the “Catapult blockchain engine,” which has reportedly been developed to enhance the performance of both private and public blockchain networks. Jeff McDonald, the interim chief technical officer (CTO) at the NEM Foundation, claims that “the tech itself is doing things that no other blockchain has done before.”

Introducing Sharp Budget Cuts Due To Mismanagement Issues
In January 2019, the NEM Foundation revealed it would be introducing substantial budget cuts “due to the mismanagement of [funds and resources by] the previous governance council.”

After being appointed as the NEM Foundation’s president, Tinsman had requested that additional funds be allocated from the organization’s reserves to cover the foundation’s day-to-day operational expenses. Approximately 90% of 573 NEM community members voted in favor of approving Tinsman’s request. As mentioned, the 210 million XEM allocated to the NEM project will be used to fund the blockchain organization’s operations until February 20, 2020.

Budget cuts due to mismanagement are very good and this is the best choice for managing NEM finances in the following year.
NEM CEOs also don't just keep quiet because now NEM needs innovation for the good of its future project price.

I still hope NEM's team can handle all issues correctly. I think NEM has a chance to improve again. So, it is about how the team can make new innovation and handle all problems. Let's see what will happen in NEM after these issues to appear in the public.

Thanks T,
 
Im working it like the instruction said and so far things are getting to the way it needs to be.  Only one remaining project to get sync up with.
 
The funny thing is I found out I had 4 different IDs out there.
 
Thanks Again

Ok silly question...
 
Ive got 3 cross project IDs out there... How do I get it down to just 1 for all projects?
 
Im thinking all it takes is to have one box be attached to those projects that have the different IDs... Is this close?

It must be like this so that NEM can return to the silk trade route, where NEM is able to fly in the top 10 of Coinmarketcap with NEM 210,000,000 funds that will increase the passion for NEM transactions.
It also said 210,000,000 NEM was equivalent to 9,000,000 USD and this is a good value for the development of NEM or funds that are frozen for NEM development.

As far i know , NEM have FUD is bankcrupt and now NEM wake up with new investor . Good Luck NEM !

Just like me, who is full of hope that this NEM will not become a dead coin.
It's a shame if NEM becomes a dead coin and can only be a memory.

If it is like this, NEM can only process its finances so that it does not fall back down and this new injection of funds is a beautiful dream for NEM.
