The founders of Status are two Swiss men named Carl Bennets and Jarrad Hope. They launched the Status ICO in June 2017. Status has thus only recently launched, so the network is still in the process of development. Meanwhile, former Google manager Nabil Nahdy has also joined the team working behind the scenes for Status and its cryptocurrency Status Network Token (SNT). Nabil Nahdy’s experience will contribute greatly to the further development of this digital currency. He has been made responsible for creating the vision, a roadmap and further developments of the product itself.
