BTL™ Reconfirms April 23rd as Launch Date for Interbit™ Testing and Feedback


VANCOUVER, British Columbia and LONDON, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  BTL GROUP LTD. (TSX Venture:BTL) (“BTL” or the “Company”) is pleased to reconfirm April 23, 2018 as the date that Interbit, the Company’s token free, next generation blockchain platform, will be available for testing and feedback. Visitors to https://interbit.io will be able to access and download Interbit on that date.

“This launch of Interbit for testing will provide us with the insights and feedback required to provide successive upgrades every two weeks,” said Tom Thompson, CTO of BTL. “Throughout Interbit’s two year development, the focus has been on creating true privacy and we look forward to the feedback from the early users.”

Interbit’s unique “chain joining capability” has the capacity to inter-connect many thousands of Interbit blockchains per solution in a completely private, secure and horizontally scalable manner. BTL developed and built Interbit after determining two years ago that second generation blockchain technologies such as Ethereum would not meet the privacy nor scalability demands of users. The Interbit platform will allow users to keep all metadata private in a design framework that is familiar and easy to use.

Prior to this April 23 release, BTL will be filing multiple patent applications to further protect Interbit’s various proprietary aspects. These new patent applications build on BTL’s filings from last year (see the Company’s October 17, 2017 press release) and show BTL’s commitment to protecting its intellectual property.
