Hello everyone!
Only a few months after the birth of Rapids Network, founded by Corey Strong, the year 2019 started, and it was rich in new features, meetings, partnerships, sponsoring, etc ...
Rapids is today:

- More than 10k Followers on Twitter
- 10 languages across the world are represented, both on Telegram and on social networks.
- A solid team of passionate and fascinating people, who are constantly planning events, games, contests ...
Let me give you a little recap of the highlights of Rapids in 2019.
Let's start with the beginning, as soon as January, just after Christmas (2018) and New Year, all Rapids teams got back to work, to bring something new to Rapids again and again! Here is a small, non-exhaustive list of their work during the first month of the year:
- ZCore : You can host your Rapids Masternode
- RPD (Rapids) is listed on P2PB2B, under RPD-BTC/ETH/USD pairs.
- Rapids is available on the Coin Market Apps, news, charts, reviews, information ...

- Rapids Network is officially registered in the European Union, in Estonia
The month of January also saw the arrival of 2 new members in their teams:

The cool thing about this month of March is that you can print the pattern of your TipBot Home Made
In my humble opinion, the most important event of this month of March but especially of this year 2019, is that Rapids has become an integrant part of the BOA program of companies (as well as Puma and HolidayInn) of the English Premier League team BURNLEY ! Rapids Logo is present on the players' pictures, on their 60 m advertising screen ! With their 21,400 seat Turf Moor Stadium, is over 1 Billion viewers following the UK Premier League championship, it's an exceptional thing Rapids has achieved !
