Phase 1

Start date: May 1st, 2019

Projected completion date: May 17th, 2019

Feature addition → Mobile push notifications for chat activities.

During Phase 1, the team will focus on redesigning the private chat feature and introduce push notifications for chat-related activities. Users will no longer have to worry about missing that important message.

Phase 2

Projected start date: May 20th, 2019

Projected completion date: May 24th, 2019

Feature addition → Enabling of user account deletion

Upon completion, users will be able to delete their accounts from the Matchpool database, in full compliance with GDPR regulations. The deleted account will be completely removed from the Matchpool database and the former account owners will be unable to restore them. Upon deletion, a user’s account will be removed from all pools. Public posts and private chats will display “deleted account” in place of the deleted account’s username.

Phase 3

Projected start date: May 27th, 2019

Projected completion date: June 14th, 2019

Feature addition → Change the matching mechanism to be smart contract based

Development resources during this phase will be spent on integrating Ethereum smart contracts into the matchmaking process. With the implementation of smart contracts, match requesters (users, those initiating matches with another user,) will be required to lock funds within the smart contract. Once the admin and the target matchee both approve the match, the pool’s admin will be able to withdraw the funds from the smart contract. At any time before the match is approved, the match requester will have the ability to withdraw the funds from the smart contract and cancel the request. This new matchmaking mechanism false match requests, as funds from the requester will be locked within the platform’s smart contract until the match is approved or rejected.

Phase 4

Projected start date: June 17th, 2019

Projected completion date: TBA

Feature addition → Reverse bounties

Reverse bounties offer users an entirely new way to incentivize successful matchmaking. Reverse bounties enable users to “suggest” other people they know and consider to be “match-worthy”. An example of this would be when a friend is telling you about an awesome person you just have to meet; this funny, beautiful person that could potentially be your soulmate. Or, a friend recommending a professional handyman, one who that just fixed their leaking sink. With reverse bounties, you will be able to share your good experiences with others profit from doing so.
