Updates -> Tabby Pay

Part of our team has continued development of wrapping up this iteration of Tabby Pay. (While software is never really “done”, we feel that Tabby Pay is at a good point to shift focus to the next major contract).

We’ve been fixing minor issues as they come in, polishing the UI as we’d find things that weren’t quite sitting right, and have been extracting pieces that we intend to share with our other upcoming contracts.

The long awaited Ledger hardware wallet support is complete and working beautifully. We’re going to continue privately beta testing it to ensure the experience is up to snuff before we share it with all of you. 👍

Our Next Contract

The rest of our team has been quietly focusing on preparing a new smart contract and web application to go with it. We’ve had lots of design and modelling sessions, and are continuing to build and refine in tight iterations.

While we aren’t quite ready to announce what the contract does quite yet, we have been applying all of our learnings building and shipping Tabby Pay to make for an even better experience.

It’s coming along nicely, and we’re super excited to share it with you soon.
