Hoard is out building a platform that will not only make your trading and investment life easier - with its wallet and exchange integration, it hopes to provide its users with all the tools necessary to more accurately keep track of their portfolio and better manage their assets. It sounds simple on paper, but it involves some very difficult technologies.
HOARD is decentralized and fully open source.
In fact, the code for the mobile wallet is currently on GitHub and is available for anyone with the necessary skills to change and polish. This strategy is not only perfect for security as it allows various security experts to check on the code for bugs and inconsistencies that could be exploited by suspicious individuals, it's also great because it helps break down barriers between members of HOARD's community thus promoting collaboration and enhancing diversity. It allows individuals with different backgrounds to provide insights and participate in developing Hoard's ecosystem.
By getting rid of centralized organizations with its blockchain platform, this open source angle also allows users more freedom. After all it's true what they say,
"if they work for it, they'll take care of it more."
If you're a developer and you’re currently reading this, you can explore the shared code inside the company's GitHub repository here - For Developers
The Team.
Let's briefly meet the top-level team that oversaw the development and subsequent release of the open source code for the mobile wallet.
The Founder and CEO - Mr. Jason Davis, who was from 2013 to 2017 a senior UX designer, overseeing products such as implementing TouchID Authentication, FIDO's Authentication, Card-less Cash ATM Transactions, 2 Way Verify Authentication, Apple Pay card provisioning, Samsung Pay card provisioning among other services for Wells Fargo, one of the biggest banks in the world in terms of Assets and Market Cap. Jason's time there means he will work well under pressure as well as accurately come up with the best strategies to grow HOARD.
Other than that, he has also been the vice president of product, at LegalHub. During his time there he overhauled their web application.
Jason holds a bachelor's degree in Science, Business from the Appalachian State University.

The second founder and CTO, Dan Lipert is a Backend and AI expert with a list of achievements. For instance, during his time as a Lead Engineer for Trapit, Inc, he developed and won the SIIA Codie award two times for his social network integrations and analytic systems. These systems allowed users to post content on Facebook and twitter and receive better, more conclusive analytics reports their performance, better than what the native platform tools offered.
Dan has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan. Dan Lipert is on Twitter as @Dan_Lipert, you should follow him. You can also read more about Dan here
*I haven't mentioned the entire team here, not because they aren't as important but only because this was merely a short post to put you on HOARD's radar. You can read more about Brian Haynes (CBO), George Worrell (CPO), Joseph Akintolayo, Jim Jacob and the rest on the company's team page here
Roadmap Particulars.
May 25, 2018 was the day the company's Cryptocurrency Wallet Beta was announced, it allowed users to view and administer all their crypto all from that one location, while also providing users with the crucial link to connect with the Hoard platform.
Other features I’m especially looking forward too are Swaps, which is a unique feature that allows users to exchange any asset they may have with another all thanks to an interoperable and cross-linked network of supporting partners. The best part is, thanks to multi-signature wallets and private keys, these exchanges can all be carried out from the convenience of the Hoard app. This feature will be released in early 2019.
Another important announcement coming in 2019 is the release of the decentralized exchange. This exchange will facilitate crypto trading on a distributed ledger, giving back control of all funds and trades to the user and removing the possibility of uncertainty and insecurity brought forth by centralized exchanges. That's right incidences like the Mt.Gox and Bitfinex scandals will be a thing of the past.
Lastly the one feature that will be a gamechanger is what HOARD refers to as the Fiat Onramp, this feature is what will facilitate the seamless and instantaneous conversion of cryptocurrency to Fiat currency and the other way around. This one will be coming inside the third quarter of 2019 and honestly it couldn't get here sooner.Look at me ranting.
Really, you don't want to be left behind on this, be among the first people to give HOARD a shot, you'll be bragging to your friends later.
HOARD's public sale began on 15th September 2018, you can also get yourself some HOARD Tokens, each one costs just about $0.06 and considering what you'll be getting back - it’s a great investment opportunity.
Key participation information.
Through the #HoardVote campaign, every interested community user has the opportunity to decide which coin will get listed on Hoard's wallet and decentralized exchange. It's part of the company's way of engaging the community while encouraging a participative environment within the ecosystem.
Do note that for a coin to be considered for registration it needs at least 500 votes and since it's only one vote per person, you'll need to engage your community for that extra support. It's going to be great through plus there are rewards for the winners. If you're interested in participating, you can do so here - Voting Page
Currently only Ethereum and bitcoin-based coins can be integrated into the wallet and exchanges but support for other blockchains will coming in the close future.

I have been reading your article for a unique feature of the project that will convince me to Invest on Hoard Token, One of the interesting features you have highlighted "Atomic swaps" which is a planned Hoard feature, I believe this technology is ushering in a completely self-governing cryptosphere, where individuals can anonymously trade without the fear of their privacy being interfered with. This is a technology that will disrupt the crypto world and thank-you for highlighting it in Hoard Review as I will check on Hoard investment options.
