Breaking News: Release Date

There’s been a long running problem crypto users experience that we’ve been trying to solve ever since the early days of BlockCAT. Our team has now developed a Smart Contract solution to this problem we’re all really excited about.

In our roadmap, we discussed releasing our Beta in stages, adding live blockchain functionality over time. As promised, we’re releasing this contract with live blockchain code as part of our ongoing Beta.

Our first completed Smart Contract will be released March 14, 2018.

It’s fully functional. It runs on the live Blockchain. It solves a real problem.

This week we’ve been conducting user testing in private, to understand how people navigate through the interface and where questions come up. We’ve collected all that data and are making the final changes to the visual experience to make each step even easier to understand.

The full details of exactly what this contract does, will also be released when it goes live.

Product Development

Here are some updates directly from our dev team.

Dev Notes This week we continued focusing on polishing our upcoming contract, as well as hardening our build & delivery pipeline. Changes include: + standardizing how and when we show errors

+ standardizing how and when we retry transient network issues

+ hooking up an error monitoring system, for unexpected failures

+ adding dozens more tests for all of the various edge cases

+ fixing discrepancies between our dev environments & test builds

+ hooked up automated deployments so we can test our changes faster This work ultimately allows us to deliver a more reliable experience, and continue to improve our processes so we can safely ship faster.
