1. Why a new website?

  • Reflect new executive leadership and strategic direction.
  • Merge the worlds of Web3 and institutional audiences, especially stablecoin issuers.
  • Modernize aesthetics and improve clarity.

2. What is the new focus of the website?

  • Simplified user experience; intuitive navigation.
  • Pages: 
    • Homepage 
    • Technology 
    • Stablecoin Issuers 
    • Identity 
    • Developer Hub
  • Accessible explanations of blockchain technology.
  • Developer community support and growth focus.

3. What's still missing (ecosystem page, tech roadmap)?

  • Current site reflects internally approved messaging; sequencing priority.
  • Next steps: 
    • Governance page 
    • Ecosystem page 
    • Tech Roadmap page.
  • Prioritized immediate commercial requirements first.

4. SEO Articles to drive traffic (Oxford’s question)

  • Plan to create SEO-optimized articles on zero-knowledge proofs, identity, stablecoins.
  • Medium is primary blog platform due to existing global audience reach.
  • Long-term goal: draw traffic directly to Concordium’s website.

5. Immediate Feedback & How success is measured?

  • Positive initial reaction regarding website design and navigation.
  • Website serves as an essential commercial tool for outreach.
  • Feedback loop: Commercial team actively seeks external responses to refine and iterate the website.

6. Multilanguage support?

  • No immediate plans due to complexity of multilingual websites.
  • Potential solution: Community-driven translations for specific languages in the future.

7. Community involvement in website improvements

  • Desire to increase community participation, e.g., design contests, animations, and graphics contributions.
  • Actively encouraging ongoing feedback from community members.

8. Why not use "Self-Sovereign ID" terminology explicitly?

  • The term "self-sovereign identity" not intentionally omitted.
  • Initial messaging targeted institutional/stablecoin audiences less familiar with Web3-specific terminology.
  • Potential for future use in blogs or subsequent website updates.

9. Why is CCD pricing displayed in USD instead of EUR?

  • Strategic decision to align with plans for expanding presence in the US market.

10. Pace of new functionalities/pages rollout? (Jrocket’s question)

  • Immediate priorities: visual improvements, governance page, tech roadmap page.
  • Incremental updates planned; ongoing community feedback expected.

11. Suggestions to improve URLs (Oxford’s recommendation)

  • Concordium will consider specific SEO-friendly URLs like concordium.com/stablecoin, concordium.com/zkproofs, etc.

12. Daily news feed integration suggestion

  • Plans to integrate a daily news feed feature are in the pipeline.
  • Working on backend setup (new CMS system) to implement this.

13. Blockchain stats integration (CCD Explorer)

  • Desire expressed by Angela to improve transparency by integrating blockchain statistics more directly on the website.
  • CCD Explorer revamp and integration planned.

14. Medium blog vs. website-hosted blog

  • Medium retains importance due to existing following and potential community content contributions.
  • Medium will be retained for now, pending future reassessment.

15. Project descriptions (Ecosystem projects integration status)

  • Will add ecosystem project descriptions only once they reflect new developments and partnerships.
  • Avoid simply replicating old website content without updates.

16. Community involvement specifics (Angela’s direct question to audience)

  • Requested specific feedback from audience regarding dislikes, clarity issues, or immediate suggestions.
  • Community mostly satisfied; no major additional complaints outside existing documented feedback.

17. Compliments to Angela

  • Community explicitly praised Angela's approach and execution.

18. Additional note on CCD Explorer expenses integration

  • Community requested explicit inclusion of CCD expenses information on the website; acknowledged and noted.

19. Angela’s vision for community-generated content on Medium

  • Potential future scenario: Medium platform hosting community-authored blogs and content.

20. Question about daily news updates

  • Confirmed interest in providing regular, daily updates and news feeds on the site.

21. Angela’s perspective on what's next for Concordium (general wrap-up question from host)

  • Aim to become leader in stablecoin space.
