Development Roadmap

The ‘crypto-community’ for the past five years has operated without a lot of attention or recognition from external forces. Only in the past fourteen months has the mainstream media and big business, industry leaders, and government bodies begun to examine what ‘crypto-currency’ is. The source of value to these entities isn’t just the digital currencies; it’s the revolutionary technology that these currencies are built on – The blockchain.

STATEMENT OF INTENT

The blockchain is one of the most revolutionary technologies since the introduction of the internet because of its potential applications across multiple pre-existing technologies and infrastructure networks. For example: Electronic voting has been used since the 1960’s, when the system of punch cards was introduced. Since then, the technology has evolved, and in the most recent elections, computers and software have been used to count votes. Throughout the turbulent history of electronic and digital voting, there have been cries of corruption, and rigging. Enter blockchain technology - A public ledger that can’t be bribed, paid off or persuaded by any party. Trusting in a protocol based on mathematical formulas takes the human emotion out of the process, and therefor removes any bias. Blockchain technology brings accountability and order to any system that runs off of it. This is just one example of its potential application, but blockchain technology has the ability to affect everything and everyone.

NHZ’s development team understands this value. When building a coin or a platform, you must consider what your target audience is going to be in six months, not in six hours or a couple days after launch. You need to develop around a long term goal, and capturing the market of the future is our goal. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce our official branding with this value at its heart. “NHZ: Professional blockchain asset-exchange services’. Our goal is to provide real-world businesses and industries, small and big, a platform in which they can utilize blockchain technology based services. This concept is the first of its kind, and I predict that this model is what a lot of ‘coins’ that will thrive in the future will be using. The entire markets for crypto-currency and people currently taking advantage of the technologies are very small; much like the early days of the internet. NHZ’s focus is being the first place that businesses who are interested in blockchain based services will look to.

Our development team not only has the technical experience and know how to build a platform & services that can cater to this emerging market, but we also have access to the private networks of people and connections in other real-world businesses and industries to make ‘NHZ’ the first destination that they will look at for implementation of blockchain based services and for their own companies and pre-existing services.

These project listings are the framework for creating this platform that will be used to attract investors, and businesses alike.

* Projects are listed in no specific order in relation to time of deployment for services and features. Also please take note that these listings are brief descriptions so the public has insight into what is being worked on by the development team. More specific details pertaining to each project will be released as the projects near completion or are released. This method is used to prevent copy cats, and leaks of new and innovating ideas that are being used directly for “NHZ”.

DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

UI/UX AND FUNCTIONALITY
Our team is working on a complete rework of the layout and user functionality of the NeXT Horizon wallet and Asset Exchange. Our goal is to provide a simple, yet incredibly powerful interface that's intuitive for beginners and advanced users alike.
REPUTATION AND TRUST
In order to give NHZ users the peace of mind that they deserve, we are working on an eBay-style ratting and reputation system which lets people know the best people to buy from - and more importantly, the ones to avoid.
MOBILE WALLETS
The NHZ team will create mobile wallets which can be used on iOS, Android and Windows systems which are highly secure, fast and reliable and beautifully easy to use.
ANONYMOUS TRANSACTIONS
NeXT Horizon is developing 'Darksend' technology which will provide optional anonymous transactions between users.
ENCRYPTED MESSAGING
Users of NeXT Horizon will shortly be able to send encrypted messages to other users directly from their wallets, so there's no need to worry about unwanted people snooping in on your private business.
INBUILT COMMERCE
We will be providing a decentralised platform which allows NHZ users to buy and sell digital goods, physical products and other services and accept NHZ coins as payment.
ONLINE PRESENCE
As well as providing a functional faucet to help with the distribution of NeXT Horizon, our team will be integrating our community into our online offerings, ensuring that NHZ users are involved in every aspect of our development. Our community will help all types of user - from the casual investor to those who are hoping to build a business around the NHZ blockchain.

NeXT Horizon intends to be the most secure digital currency and we are working to implement multisig to provide additional layers of security which are far in advance of the majority of other digital currencies.
