Project & Product Updates

We’re working to improve the modularity of the Card Pay Protocol, so we can provide new features that users can easily upgrade to or opt into if they like.

We’ve also deployed our off-chain computation service (aka Tally) as part of staking, so users can earn rewards through Cardstack Wallet (available on iOS and Android).

Moreover, the Cardstack Wallet mobile app now offers cross-platform encryption of keys via pin codes and in-app purchases for profile creation.
