JET8 Dev Update — April 24th, 2018

Development progress and product changes from JET8

JET8 Platform

JET8 and the Blockchain

As a first approach to the blockchain migration, we’re adding the J8T equivalence from the JET Points in the users’ wallets.

This intermediate point will serve as a stepping stone, helping users grow acquainted with the J8T Token.

It’s important to note that initially, the value in J8T Token is merely informative, until further details on the uses of the Token are announced.

JET8 Architecture

Work continues on the migration of the monolith core to micro services as we get closer to our goal of making all services independent & interconnected.

During the past fortnight, we’ve completed the decoupling of the core to an independent package and started testing the first independent services: API, Data Processor, Wallet & Shop.

Apps as a Service

New facebook user access token changes

Facebook announced an important change to how it handles user access tokens and we have updated our apps to be compatible. All changes should be transparent to users as it benefits from stronger privacy & more control over their personal data.
