Welcome back to our bi-monthly report, our tech team has been working with pilot testers to make further improvements to our new Plutus 2.0 website. We have made great progress since our last update and we look forward to unveiling the complete functionality set in the coming weeks.

Pinned Announcements

Currently, our system is in pilot testing mode, site and app access is limited to pilot test users for the coming weeks.

Our site and a new app will be available to the wider public once the pilot ends, unveiling our new live features.

Development Update

Tool Upgrades

The development team has updated our tool for container orchestration to a new version, this empowers our team with numerous new functionalities resulting in a more stable and maintained environment. On top of this, the team has built and tested a bespoke backup procedure.

We’ve upgraded our CI/CD tool which now allows us to implement required builds using a built-in scheduler. This will allow us to deploy changes at times of low activity which are less disruptive to our customers.

Squashing Bugs

The tech team has spent a large portion of their time handling and prioritising bugs reported through our pilot programme for both our web app and our microservices; these have been segregated into level 1 or level 2 tickets and fixed according to their impact and severity on our users.

The bugs are flaws that cause the web app to behave in unintended ways and some were present after both unit and functional testing. Circa 80% of the bugs have now been resolved, new versions of the code have been updated and tested.

Marketing Update

Digital Campaigns

The marketing team has been working on new digital campaigns to be displayed across key marketing channels once our pilot ends, the new designs are aligned with our Plutus 2.0 overhaul and updated with our current feature set. The aim is to showcase our wide array of financial services in a simple and easily digestible manner whilst remaining slick and minimalist.

PR Coverage

The team are continually working on securing tier 1 press coverage for our product announcements, we are currently in talks with numerous media outlets and discussing various campaigns to help spread awareness of Plutus to a wider audience.

Community Competitions

The team is planning for numerous community competitions to be hosted over the coming weeks. This is a sign of our gratitude for the communities endless support and encouragement, stay tuned for further announcements and an opportunity to win cool Plutus swag.

Evergreen Content

The team has written multiple evergreen articles centred around interesting and applicable topics to be released at optimal times across various platforms to help boost our exposure amongst the crypto community.

Social Influencer Campaigns

The marketing team has continued with the planning of our influencer campaign. We previously reached out to potential influencers and performed background checks on their channels.

We are now conducting a cost-benefit analysis to determine who will prove the most beneficial to Plutus. We are considering demographic, geographical location, price, presentation style, audience type (e.g. traders, miners, investors) and more.

Press Kit

The marketing team has put together a press kit to give to media outlets and influencers so they can rapidly accustom themselves with our products and services. This includes our updated Plutus imagery, a breakdown of our USP’s and feature sets, and a brief overview of the company’s history.

General Update

Data Processing

We’re gradually building our data science discipline at the product level. We have selected tools and begun building data pipelines for processing information in near real time so we can make informed data-driven product decisions.

Currently, we are optimising for low-event latency which means we can query recent user events within minutes of it happening and react accordingly. Other requirements, such as interactive querying, monitoring or scalability, will be optimised at a later stage.
