Current Protocol (Ahead of Schedule)

Our developers have made major headway writing and pressure-testing the protocol to ensure transparent recording of user plays, along with determining a user’s contribution to the network, and attribute the appropriate amount of tokens to that user.

After third-party stability and security auditing, the protocol and wallet will be seamlessly added to the Current ecosystem, allowing anyone to earn while streaming. Users will then be able to immediately redeem their tokens to subsidize or replace the costs of their premium subscriptions on Current, Spotify, YouTube Red, or Apple Music.

We’re extremely excited to release V1 of the protocol by the end of Q2, a full quarter ahead of our original timeline. As things progress, we’ll be writing a full, in-depth technical post.

Upcoming Android Release (Ahead of Schedule)

The Android version of the Current App is well underway and will be made available in the Google Play store by the end of Q2, also (a full quarter ahead from our original timeline!) This dramatically increases our ability to reach new users across the world. Check out the demo video below.

Apple Music Integration for iOS 11.3 (Ahead of Schedule & Live)

We listened to our users and upon request, added an Apple Music integration that will allow users (without a subscription) to preview tracks, and users with premium subscriptions to stream full tracks. We’re planning on adding additional functionality, in Q2. Additional functionality may also include the ability to add your entire media library. Download the update here!

iOS App Overhaul

The Current iOS app has been getting a major overhaul. In the next iteration, the iOS app will have an entirely new look and feel.

The new discover screen provide easier access to popular and suggested content based on preferences.

At the top of the new discover screen, you’ll see that we brought search to the forefront, making it easier to find the content you’re looking for. Functionality is also much improved, allowing you to search all the integrations at once instead of swapping from one to the other.

Everything you watch, listen to, save and create is perfectly organized and easily accessible in your library.
