Another giant leap towards Web 3.0 adoption was achieved this month as we excitedly released the Essentia Web/Desktop beta application. We are still only at the beginning of our journey yet we have already hit another significant milestone. The work doesn’t stop there however, the Essentia labs are kicking it up a gear while further developments are in the works. Let’s take a look back on what went on during the last month.

Let’s go!

Development

Essentia Desktop

One of the most important releases in Essentia history, the Desktop/Web application is now available for installation on the official website. An enormous amount of work went in to finalize the product and meet all the deadlines, and we are incredibly proud of the international team of developers and designers who helped us get there.

Apart from core Essentia development (i.e. the creation of Windows, Ubuntu and macOS launchers or the integration of API wrappers to work with Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum), a lot of time was dedicated to enhancing the UI and UX. For example, we redesigned and simplified the login and account changing procedures for more efficiency and ease of use.

For installation guides please check the following for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu (Linux).

Within the Essentia Web app, we have implemented the full capability of the Essentia Superwallet, IDEX, and ForkDelta (among other decentralized services and features). You can check out our dedicated article here for further details.

Essentia Mobile

Together with the development of the Essentia Web app, we continue our work on Essentia for Android/iOS and we’re excited to say that significant progress has been made. Here’s a quick run through of the features that have been implemented.

Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets added

Login functionality added: now possible to login using a mnemonic phrase, seed or keystore file.

Multiple languages and currencies added.

Switching between accounts with one click

Please note this is only a small part of what is already available within the Essentia App. For more technical details, please check in on our Weekly Updates.

Community

Conferences

Over the last month, the Essentia team attended many fascinating crypto events!

Huobi Carnival was a brilliant opportunity to chat with influential leaders and spread the word about the framework. Our Korean division also attended many events within the country to increase awareness within the market.

Our COO, Igor Nikolaev, also attended the #cryptoparty event in Ukraine! He delivered a speech on the potential impact blockchain technology could bring to international Governments and represented Essentia on the main stage.

What’s next?

Needless to say, we will continue working on developing the Desktop and Android/iOS versions of the Essentia framework.

We have already devoted a core part of our team to work specifically on the Essentia pilot for the Finnish Government — more news on that to come!

We’ll also have big news coming out soon on the Essentia blockchain — so keep an eye out for that!

It is a well-known fact that while nature’s preparing for the winter, the whole crypto industry comes alive in autumn. We are planning to visit many events in the following months, so don’t forget to check out our constantly-updated Roadshow article!
