New and improved payment messages and payment statuses for ERC-20 tokens

We noticed that we weren’t providing our users with enough information when sending tokens. So with our new update (releasing tomorrow), we are aiming to provide as much visibility and transparency to our users, without confusing them.

Users can now see if their transaction is Pending, Confirming, Failed or Confirmed.

We’ve also added a progress bar which helps new users understand that there’s something happening and gives an indication of when the transaction will be confirmed.

We also added an in-depth transaction details view so more advanced users can see what's going on. We display the number of confirmed blocks, address info and transaction fee, and there’s also a link to Etherscan if users feel like they need even more info.

Previously, users who imported a wallet into Sylo would have no visibility over what tokens they had in any of their addresses (this is a problem in virtually all apps who allow their users to import a wallet).

This means they would inevitably have to import their wallet and manually add all their addresses — pretty time-consuming.

Imagine if you had a particular token in the tenth address in your wallet but couldn’t remember that it was there — you would need to add all ten addresses to find it, and nine of them would immediately be useless and clogging up the interface.

We knew we could make that experience better by displaying a list of addresses, and displaying what tokens were associated with each address.

The user could then choose to import particular addresses/tokens.
