Dear dexFreight community,
We want to thank you for your support throughout 2018. This past year was an exciting and challenging one for dexFreight, and it would not have been the same without your trust and encouragement. Our company progressed drastically.
### dexFreight’s Minimum Viable Product
After several months of hard work from our developers, we [launched our MVP](https://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2018/10/30/blockchain-on-ice-ledger-tech-enables-frozen-seafood-shipment/) and successfully completed the first truckload shipment [(watch video](https://youtu.be/YNOsB-Jugs4)). The news garnered overwhelming mentions from media including Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, International Business Times, and more. This year we are launching a pilot program with early adopters in the U.S. to continue strengthening our vision and further develop the dexFreight’s platform to fulfill the needs of users.
### New Partnerships
This 2018 marked the beginning of multiple partnerships. Some of our most significant collaboration efforts include the FedEx Institute of Technology, RSK, the Blockchain Transportation Alliance, CargoX, ConsolFreight, and the Port Community of Veracruz. dexFreight will continue developing new partnerships in the upcoming years.
### Events Participation
Our team attended many events throughout the Americas this past year. We believe in the power of the community, and enjoy meeting all the blockchain enthusiasts and logistics experts looking for new ways to disrupt industries worldwide. This 2019 comes with a full events schedule and multiple speaking engagements from our co-founders.
In closing, we are grateful to our advisors, partners, early adopters and the community as a whole for believing in dexFreight’s vision. Please stay tuned about dexFreight’s progress through our various social media channels.
Wishing you a prosperous 2019!
