Acknowledgements

Photon by RocketShoes stands on the work of the people who shaped its earliest form. We are grateful to everyone who helped bring the original vision to life.

The original prototype

The first RocketShoes prototype, which established the core idea of anchoring proof of a file's existence to a public blockchain, was developed by TypeHuman. Its team included:

• Nick Byrne, Chief Executive Officer
• Monika Cimolin, Project Manager and Business Analyst
• Tom Nash, Team Leader
• Aaron Barnard, Solution Developer
• Peter Ince, Software Engineer (Cryptography)
• James Williams, Technical Coordinator and Solution Tester

We also thank Finn Macken, who contributed as an intern at RocketShoes during the MVP phase.

Senior advisor

Kieran Nolan is a Melbourne-based educational technologist who advised the original project and remains a Senior Advisor to RocketShoes on blockchain and decentralised technologies. His guidance has helped shape Photon's direction from the beginning.

Design

The original interface and brand were designed by Esther Nitafan, whose visual work carried forward into the Photon you use today.

Thank you

Photon has grown and changed a great deal since those early days, but it would not be here without these contributions. Thank you.
