Kickstarter riled a huge portion of its user base back in December with the company’s sudden announcement of plans to transition their platform onto blockchain technology. Among the many concerns about such an abrupt and dramatic back-end shift was the apparent fact that the Kickstarter community had virtually no say in the matter. In a good turn, it seems like the platform has listened to the response, and is adjusting its plans accordingly while also making sure everyone knows it will employ some kind of blockchain-based tech in the near future.
“We have many ideas about how a new protocol can help creators and backers, and we initially thought that a white paper would be the best way to communicate these thoughts. It's clear to us now though that before we do anything else, we need to listen to your feedback so that we can better address your concerns,” reads a blog post published by the company earlier today entitled, “We Won’t Make Changes to Kickstarter Without You.” According to the update, a four-step program is being proposed to more carefully make their leap onto the blockchain.
