Nodle launched a contact tracing app, Coalition that enables community-driven contact tracing through a privacy-by-design approach. The app utilizes secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and cryptography to protect a user’s identity by generating random anonymous IDs. Coalition’s Whisper Tracing, an open and privacy-first protocol, randomizes a user’s device identity and does not share identifiable information with the cloud. No personal data is ever asked for, collected, or shared. View Coalition’s Whisper Tracing research paper, reviewed by Nodle peers and cryptographers from MIT, Stanford, USC, and Oxford University.

The app uses a phone’s Bluetooth connection to note the other phones nearby. If a user nearby is later infected and had self-reported their status to the Coalition app, then anyone who passed that person or spent time with them will get a notification that they have been exposed.

The Nodle Cash app, dubbed The Citizen Network, is a community of smartphones that act as secure nodes — or hotspots — to seamlessly connect and locate physical assets, lost pets or stolen items, and provide valuable data insights for the Internet of Things. With close to 50 Billion devices, Nodle offers industrial companies, consumer electronic manufacturers, and Smart Cities an eco-friendly software infrastructure solution.

Nodle Cash app users are able to earn cryptocurrency through everyday activities such as walking, exploring their surroundings, and traveling along their regular commute. Smartphones running the Nodle Cash app will be able to pick up signals from any IoT connected devices. These signals also called beacons, are tiny bits of valuable information transmitted to their owners in exchange for Nodle Cash. The more valuable the beacon, the more cryptocurrency rewarded to the user. This is seamless for the smartphone user who earns Nodle Cash.

In a quiet North Carolina town 22 miles south of Raleigh, as a young 9-year-old girl, Paige King Johnson spent her summers under the crepe myrtles imitating the styles of Loretta, Patsy, Waylon, and Merle. Having a grandpa as her biggest fan also meant receiving the gift of her first guitar – a baby Taylor - and enrolling in lessons. After her grandpa passed, the bright-eyed dreamer carried on his memory by taking her newfound discovery to local fairs, festivals, and any other stage she was allowed to stand on.  As she grew older, Johnson added “opening act” to her resume, supporting chart-topping artists like Scotty McCreery, Neal McCoy, Luke Pell, and James Otto. And with high school graduation came the realization that this was more than a hobby. The Angier native traded in horse pastures and back roads for the bright lights of Music City in 2015.  Upon starting school at Belmont University for Music Business, Johnson honed in on the magic that had heavily influenced her as a child: the art of storytelling through songwriting.

“I started finding my own voice through writing, becoming more confident, and owning the fact that my personal feelings and experiences were worth talking about, singing about, and putting on paper,” Johnson reflects.
