TOWN HALL RECAP: A New Strategy for Smart Money
In Concordium’s global Town Hall, the leadership team laid out a bold vision to solve the blockchain trust dilemma by turning money into programmable infrastructure — secure, scalable, and compliant.
The goal? Unlock stablecoin innovation without the risks of today’s smart contracts. This isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a whole new category of on-chain payments.
Watch the full Town Hall video & read the strategy breakdown on our blog.
New Website
In line with the new strategy, a fresh new website was launched. Cleaner designs, intuitive navigation, and updated content to clearly reflect our new strategic direction. Read the thinking behind a new website on our blog.
