Hi, as c-darwin mentioned, we had major developments with the platform.
You can find more information here:
https://blog.apla.io/egaas-launches-the-public-blockchain-platform-apla-for-the-creation-of-digital-ecosystems-2985fb8e4e36The gist of is that we realized the potential of the platform we developed for eGaaS, and as such decided to develop it as a public blockchain platform, changing its name to Apla. eGaaS will remain as a private product for the organizations that need a blockchain solution.
The core principles of Apla are simplicity, safety through smart-laws in case of attacks, and performance. We believe our project will be competitive with other blockchain solutions, such as Ethereum.
