Search and Security were the primary focus of this week in Sola. We have been actively working on designing the Search for iOS, Android, and web platforms to provide more ways to navigate Sola and receive the most relevant content. And we continue to improve safety. This week we were increasing security on all levels, including safer ways to use the app, and providing you with the safest place to keep SOL.

There was also the first batch of withdrawals and deposits. We are careful to check everything to detect any signs of fraud and/or unfair votes. We’re speeding up the process slightly, but it still takes time, so if your transaction hasn’t completed yet, we kindly ask you to wait just a little bit more.

Product and Marketing

We are all excited by the Wallet release. If you haven’t tried it yet, take a look. In case of any confusion, please head over to this article.

Apart from this, there was a lot of work on the Search interface and logic, to make it straightforward and convenient. Thanks for all the ideas and the use cases you’ve shared with us.

Work on the global changes of the Web interface is almost at the last phase, and soon the development will start.

Two more large blocks worth mentioning on the agenda this week — building the external communications and the representation strategy, and building a well-thought out and beneficial program for the authors and creators, to support the quality content on the platform. Hope to share more on this point next week.

Huawei is the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. We have almost closed the agreement with Huawei App Store to have Sola listed there. It’s a global universal distribution channel, operating in China for four years and now it’s going to launch outside of China officially.
