The Expanse Project, a decentralized cryptographic information, application, and contract platform, announced this week the roadmap for this year along and revealed the details on several features capabilities and innovations. The platform recorded a high volume of more than $2.7 Million trading on Poloniex on 11 February.

“Expanse launched as an alternative public ethereum implementation with a strong focus on community involvement, centered around a unique decentralized autonomous organization concept for controlling funding and governance”, Expanse said in a blog post.

The community-managed Expanse runs on a decentralized application platform and enables a stable, borderless technology future that features a flexible DAO, powerful dApp tools and community collaboration.

"Expanse grew from a small team with a powerful idea into a complex, self-contained community", said Christopher Franko, Expanse Lead Developer. "You can think of it as a decentralized, global political system without borders."

An important feature of the platform is that new features, integration, and core modifications can be nominated, voted on, and implemented according to the collective opinion of the community.

The “borderless” feature is enabled through Borderless.tech – a coalition of globally accessible governance services forged out of smart contracts that live on the Expanse blockchain. The borderless governance services are also applicable to rights management, notary, marriage registry and contract directories. A newly enhanced GUI wallet is also set for release in the second quarter of 2016.

Moreover, Expanse’s wide range of organizational tools can be used across diverse sectors including businesses, charities, organizations, and even governments to leverage and utilize the massive power of smart contracts on the blockchain.

Earlier this month, the team said that currently they are preparing initial contracts for the DAO for release, establishing their first marketing campaign, media resources such as professional videos explaining Expanse are in production, and more. The "borderless" concept in the context of the world of Expanse is now available on YouTube.

“We also are completing partnerships with multiple third party service providers to offer exciting features, such as Coinerz.com providing the ability to purchase EXP with credit cards in the UK, and later world wide”, it added.
