Polymath’s Recent Updates

Polymath has made numerous headlines as of late.

Two months ago, Polymath announced a partnership with Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson to build a security token-specific blockchain dubbed Polymesh.

In June, Polymath teamed-up with Blockpass to streamline investor verification.

Then, as a surprise to many, Polymath laid-off ten employees and abandoned two projects in July. The company reassured the public by explaining how the action was a result of sharpening its focus of “bringing securities to the blockchain”.

Finally, just a few days ago, Polymath released its ‘Poho’ upgrade, resulting in the ST-20 security token standard being compliant with the ERC-1400.
