Wait wuh?!

After our recent announcement of our Series A funding, we wanted to follow up with another exciting update.

When we started Blockfolio, the original version (which was built in our co-founder Peter Lau’s dorm room) was just never designed to handle the incredible reception it would receive from over five million crypto enthusiasts. Six months ago, our team kicked off an ambitious project to rethink and ultimately rebuild Blockfolio from the ground up to deliver the amazing experience that we believe all of our users deserve.

On top of numerous performance, design, and feature advancements, we built a new foundation that will allow us to launch future features faster and to expand our platform in many amazing ways. (We recruited and built a world class team at Blockfolio over the last year to accomplish this. But I’ll save that story for my next post.)

Introducing the New Blockfolio 2.0

All of our team’s hard work has culminated in the release of Blockfolio 2.0, which is now live on Android and begins rolling out on iOS later today.

The first thing you’ll notice is our new design. Our primary goal here was to improve the overall accessibility of key information while preserving our familiar layout for our current users. We’re really proud of the work of our design team in particular how they were able to bring a fresh and clean look to the app, which, in our opinion, is the most beautiful and intuitive interface of any portfolio tracking app in our ecosystem. The team has been split on whether we prefer the new light mode or dark mode (you’ll have to let us know which you like more).

We are also happy to announce that we have included your most requested feature of tracking your holdings across an unlimited number of portfolios — 100% free. Creating a new portfolio is as simple as swiping left from the home screen. And don’t forget to customize your portfolios to your preferred color! (My personal favorite is blue!).

Multiple portfolios are simply a swipe to the left

After receiving feedback from token teams and our users alike, we placed your Signal feed front and center so that you never miss a relevant project update. As always, you can opt in and out of receiving Signal push notifications from the Settings page.

Lastly, we included numerous enhancements to our price and portfolio tracking functionality:

Global average pricing to give a broad market overview for every coin

Price-watching a coin versus adding transactions are now two separate flows for easier organization

Consolidated holdings and transactions from various trading pairs for a more holistic view of a single coin. (For more advanced traders who are interested in tracking prices of multiple pairs of a coin, that is still available in the Watch tab of our new Add Transaction screen)

Added transaction fee tracking for a clearer picture of true profit/loss

While we’re really proud of the work that has been done, we still have many more improvements coming soon.

All of this was possible because of the new technology stack that we built from the ground up. Prices now load faster than ever and the app is much more responsive than prior versions. Most importantly, our new platform has been scaled to not only support our current millions of users but the next tens of millions.

Last month, we shared a sneak peek of the new release on Twitter and we were thrilled by the excitement we received from our community. The teaser video ended up being our most liked post of all time. It was especially touching for me personally to see the loyalty our users have shown, and it makes me even more excited to share the details of the new release today.

While this major release signifies a milestone in our history, we think of 2.0 as simply the new foundation that our upcoming roadmap will be built off of. This means that you can expect new releases to roll out more frequently going forward. With our refreshed design, new and proven technology platform, and most of all, our amazing millions of users, we are really excited for the next set of features that we will be soon rolling out (Hello exchange & wallet integration!).

And as always, Blockfolio is committed to being 100% free. We hope you love the release as much as we do!
