Roads go ever ever on, over rock and under tree, by caves where never sun has shone, by streams that never find the sea; now far ahead the road has gone. Let others follow if they can! Let them a journey new begin. TokenSoft is now TolkienSoft, apt a name there might ever have been.

TokenSoft was, of course, the first to create a middle earth compatible wallet, successfully securing the Mines of Moria. Their second claim to fame was their Chief Wizard Officer, Gandalf going viral… He was filmed saying, “Just HODL on!” prior to plummeting into an infinite abyss.

While Gandalf could not be reached for comment, I was able to secure a few minutes with the CEO of TolkienSoft, Mason Borda who gave me this great insight into the new approach:

This is your realm, and the heart of the greater realm that shall be. The Third Age of the world is ended, and the new age is begun; It is TolkienSoft that is here to order its beginning and to preserve issuers of Tolkiens against the Great Enemy.

— Mason Borfindel

Along with introducing the world to a fresh (Or in this case, “Third Age”) rebrand, TolkienSoft is also ready to introduce their new custody solution for tolkiens “MyPrecious™” which uses ring signatures and is designed from the ground up for fellowships of all sizes. MyPrecious™ will initially support Dragonchain, Mithril, and Bitcoin Gold. They hope to integrate more currencies in the future. Fingers crossed for SmaugCoin integration.

TolkienSoft CTO James Poole was willing to reveal some of the technology they used to build MyPrecious™.

We’ve built the One Ring Signature Protocol to rule them all. By using invisibility cloaking mechanism in ORSP, your funds are even safe from the prying Eye of Sauron.

— James Poolwyn

ORSP is a revolutionary technology, creating the first custody solution, safe from the Eye of Sauron. Which leads me to believe MyPrecious™ is well on it’s way to becoming the new gold standard.

Digging deeper into the business side of MyPrecious™, it is able to easily scale with its clients’ needs. Several multi signature tiers come pre-packaged, putting it within reach of both large and small fellowships.

It’s a truly exciting time in the world of crypto. TolkienSoft, CryptoWargies, and Hobbit Gold… What could be next?
