Transitioning Our App to Production + Creator Referrals (Get ELIX for Referring Creators)
Welcome to this week’s round of ELIX updates! As we get ready to put the ELIX App on the store, we’re getting our app ready for the mainnet.
Beta Signups
If you haven’t already, get the Beta of the ELIX app by signing up here. We now have over 1,350 Beta testers signed up. Last week, we added another set of testers. We’re releasing the Beta is the order of signups… so be sure to grab a spot. In the last build, we added the Ledger, project completion badges, and social links on the More page. If you’re Beta testing the app, make sure to go to Testflight and get the latest build (0.2.65). We’re excited to share the app with more people as we transition to mainnet. Once the app is on app stores, we’ll email the remaining Beta testers a link to the app store versions!

Transitioning To Production
With our upcoming App Store release, we’re transitions our servers and databases to production environments. This also means redirecting the node endpoint of the app to a mainnet node. After discussing the best way to choose production level servers with our Advisor, we’re now transitioning. We’re testing the Pro Quiknode version as an endpoint for our node. This will allow us to focus on the app while having Quiknode make sure our node is synced and running well. Later on, we can decide whether to host our own node or continue to use Quiknode. So far, we’ve been impressed with their speed and responsiveness to our questions.

Jane & Rosello have also designed a “Recent Press” section for our app, which will link to recent articles about ELIX. Here’s what that will look like in the app:
