Blockport Community Update : Week 40

In the spirit of community-accountability, here’s your weekly dose of Blockport updates.

First things first, we’re happy to announce that Blockport’s own utility token, BPT, is now live and officially available for trading on our platform! This means that all Blockport users will be able to start trading BPT for BTC on our exchange. Read more about the BPT listing here https://bit.ly/2IKhr3H.

Apart from that, we’ve been working on the following:

• Refining and developing BPT’s utility for discounted trading fees.

• Improving the platform’s trade order system, making the order-execution faster and safer for our users.

• Building additional infrastructure that allows us to integrate with multiple exchanges in a faster, more efficient, and more robust way.

• We have been testing crypto deposits on the platform, isolated to Bitcoin within our test environment (for now).

• Improvements to the trade order form so that it will be easier to understand for novice users.

• We revisited the copy (text) of our onboarding flow. It will soon include proper explanations of why we need certain things that we ask for (like ID and address), and guide users to their first trade once they’re in the app.

• On a non-technical front, we have been preparing for our next community meetup, set for the 23rd of November. Find out more about our next event, hosted in Amsterdam, here https://bit.ly/2E9U8lf.

• We have held another biweekly AMA session where our CTO Zowie and DevOps Engineer Maksym answered all of your questions. Have a look at the results here https://bit.ly/2A0sWRA.

• Our community contest of September has ended. Congratulations to Andy for winning the first prize with his article on “trading do’s and don'ts”, where he outlines the differences between trading and investing. Read his blog article here https://bit.ly/2INNnUA.

In the upcoming week, we’re planning to:

• Work further on finalizing BPT’s utility on the Blockport platform, with an emphasis on discounted trading fees.

• Apart from KuCoin, we're also finalizing testing of the EOS trading pairs of Bitfinex. Expect an update next week.

• We will kick-start the development of the fiat-withdrawal process. This will enable our users to withdraw Euros from our platform.

• Work on implementing the new onboarding improvements which we have been validating over the past couple of weeks.

As always, feel free to engage with us in Telegram if you have any questions, comments, or suggestion!

PS: If you’re looking to get started with trading on Blockport, we’re currently charging no deposit fees whatsoever. Not a bad time to get started, wouldn’t you say? Start trading now.

Until next week!
