About two months ago, I wrote a blog about ACED - Powerful Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications. I have been HODLING since then and paying close attention to the development of the platform. So, I thought I would go back and highlight all the achievements made so far. Although, two months is not much time for serious development but the blazing speed of ACED team with the developmental updates is undoubtedly commendable.

For those who don't know, ACED is a decentralized cryptocurrency that uses peer-to-peer technology - offering complete anonymity. ACED bases it's core in providing an alternative solution to existing centralized systems through the blockchain. There are many cryptocurrencies out there that just provide anonymity, ACED plans on developing a Privacy Orientated Platform where the possibilities are endless.

ACED drives it's value from it's very ambitious 5-key projects namely, ACED Dashboard, ACED Gaming, ACED Streaming, ACED Snap, ACED ESCROW. Let's take a look at each of them and the progress made so far.

ACED Dashboard

ACED dashboard 1.0 went live on 7th of June. The dashboard will report network data for end-users as well as interested corporate partners to assist with market adoption. Masternode holders are able to use ACED Dashboard to monitor the status of their nodes to ensure maximum up-time. ACED Dashboard assists Masternode holders by providing detailed and relevant information about network status directly to other Mobile Devices.

This is the first public release of ACED Dashboard 1.0 and there are many more features that are planned to implement. For example, ACED store where you can buy/sell the listed merchandise, advertise and list your coins. If you are a coin developer or own a coin, you can list your coin for 1000 ACED.

Let's take a look at the following screenshots.

ACED Gaming

ACED BlackJack, the first of ACED Gaming product went live on 14th of July drawing massive attention across the crypto community. ACED BlackJack definitely brought some excitement to the ACED community and massive rewards of course. One user won about a record high 5449 ACED - You heard that right. That's about 5 and a half masternodes. This could very well be you.

ACED Blackjack is a multiplayer version of Blackjack Vs Dealer that supports up to 5 players at once. To start, sign up for an account on their web wallet here and choose one of the tables. Please know that luck may not always be on your side, so play wise and responsibly.

Apart from ACED Blackjack, there will soon be another addition to the ACED gaming family, ACED Air Hockey. ACED Air Hockey is currently under development and will soon be on-air with peer-to-peer wagering features.

ACED Streaming

This is one of the long awaited application of ACED ecosystem and the good news is that it's just right around the corner. The Streaming App is ready and will be available soon for the public release.

Users will be able to stream their video games, podcasts and other shows live with state of the art features. The streaming industry is massive and ACED is eyeing on penetrating into this market. ACED will have some notable streamers from the gaming industry right from the word go. I personally believe that ACED streaming will play a vital role along with the ACED gaming applications. Both the platform will create synergy together - taking the ACED ecosystem a notch further.

ACED Foundation

ACED Foundation is more of a noble cause taken up by the team. Through ACED Foundation you will be able to host Crowd-Funding for lesser-privileged and war torn regions. ACED Foundation is a dynamic tool that will allow transparent funding using ACED currency to charitable organizations and groups in need.

This is relatively their newest application so little information is available on how it will pan out but all in all it's a good addition to use the blockchain technology for charitable purposes with maximum transparency available.

ACED Snap

ACED Snap is a platform specifically designed for photographers and hobbyist's sharing their love for photography across the globe. Photographers can now earn royalties by selling their pictures and by receiving tips from viewers. Unlike other platforms, ACED bring the ethics of decentralization allowing everyone and anyone to join and share with the world what inspires them with the opportunity to earn royalties for their work.

ACED snap is still in the development pipelines. Currently the work is in progress on the ACED phone app. But there's still time for it to be made public.

ACED Escrow

ACED Escrow is an invaluable service for both buyers and sellers of crypto assets. ACED Escrow works by holding funds until the agreed upon good is exchanged or service is rendered.

Exchanges and Other Listings

Since my last blog, ACED has been registered on a number of exchanges such as CryptoBridge and CoinExchange etc. It's still a long way to go but the ACED daily volume touches about 2 BTC/each.

Just recently ACED was listed on a number of major coin trackers such as CoinMarketCap, CoinLib, Live Coin Watch, CoinGecko, CoinCodex and World Coin Index etc.

And a few masternode tracker sites such as Masternode.online, GIN Platform. Masternodes.pro and Nodecheck etc.

Overall, I think it's a pretty good performance in merely a 2-month period given the achievements with Blackjack, Dashboard and Streaming are particularly worth mentioning. This not just signifies the development team priorities but also testifies their skill set in the crypto sphere.
