For the past couple of months the team and tribe of testers have been on an adventure working to produce and refine the Bamboo platform. We are extremely proud of what Bamboo has become and we feel confident in its capacity to solve the complex problem of cryptocurrency adoption through our simple, secure and delightful way of microinvesting.

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

We have been listening to our closed beta group feedback for over two months. We couldn’t be more thankful for their dedicated efforts. We’ve had so many good insights from all of you. Your feedback and willingness to give us a much-helping hand have made us more confident than ever.

As a direct result of this, we have completely revamped the on-boarding experience making it simpler and more secure. We’ve worked to declutter the interface making it easier and more intuitive to use.

Your home, portfolio & portfolio mix.

Main Features

We have focused on the core of Bamboo, round-ups. Made it reliable and easy to interact with. We’ve doubled down on getting this right. We have an amazing short-term backlog of features that we are keen to get into your hands in the next coming weeks.

What’s available now

  • Bank integration the ability to secure and easily add your preferred bank account. This allows us to look at your transaction feed, and find round-up opportunities.
  • Round-ups are at the core of Bamboo’s functionality which provides day to day automated investing. This is an approachable on-ramp into the world of crypto whether you’re fresh out of school, hard at work or even enjoying retirement.
  • Portfolio mix is the primary way you decide how your round-ups should be invested. You can easily adjust how much Bitcoin or Ethereum you want your portfolio to be comprised off. Each time you round-up, your investment will be split this way.

Current status:

The app is currently submitted to Apple App Store for review. We’ve already had multiple versions accepted by Apple prior to this so we are expecting nominal behaviour.

What’s To Come?

  • Topups
  • Referral System
  • Scheduled Deposits
  • Rebalancing
  • Set Targets
  • Additional Cryptocurrencies
  • Choose a Portfolio
  • And more…

The product will be pushed out to our fantastical beta testers today and over the coming weeks, we will begin rolling out additional features as our systems are exposed to an increase in traffic and to real-world conditions.

We are excited in this early stage to service the Australian community of blockchain enthusiasts providing a simple way to engage with this technology on a daily basis.

P.s.
