After the first Bitcoin price spike to $30+ (June 2011) QED Capital turned its attention towards cryptocurrency research and mining. With the emergence of altcoins that offered the first smart contract functionality, we refocused on applying blockchains beyond cryptocurrency and the real world applicability of smart contracts.
Through research, extensive technical due diligence and active participation in multiple cryptocurrency communities, QED eventually led to the creation of an expert technical team that would make the first blockchain-based webmail (CryptaMail), and one of the first live/widely used decentralized applications that used smart contract to move real value (Secure Asset Exchange).
