The Mastercoin Foundation is springing into April and smart property is the focal point.

Smart Property

An exciting milestone was achieved as the Mastercoin dev team sent the first Mastercoin smart property transaction to be recorded on the blockchain. It was a transaction on the test Mastercoin network. The test transaction was type 50 which represents a new property creation with a fixed number of tokens.

April 15th is the proposed date for when smart property creation will go live. Several teams coming out of the Mastercoin Foundation’s hackathons are preparing to issue their smart properties using the Master Protocol right away and begin their fundraisers. The Master Protocol harbors the ability for entrepreneurs to build their dream, for business owners to exceed their goals, and for the common man to be part of it all. The energy is turning kinetic. It is only a matter of time before the World begins to hear and understand it.

Spec Update

This week Marv Schneider wrote updates and clarifications to Smart Property which can be found at:
