Dashboard

User Data Exchange Program

As planned, work continues on improving the UDEP functionality. This feature allows for the creation of a user-first, privacy-oriented approach to the sharing of user data with brands. The user will always be in control of any sharing of their personal information, and will be rewarded if they choose to do so. All these transactions between users and brands are recorded, making it completely safe for both parties.

Campaign Top-up improvements

In order to make the dashboard more accessible and useable to agencies and brands, we’ve implemented a myriad of improvements to make them more self-sufficient. One of the largest ones is that brands can now enter their credit card details and top up their campaigns safely, whenever they want, wherever they are. Removing the intermediary makes it a truly self-sufficient system.

Improvements to Campaign Targeting

Campaign targeting has been improved. With a growing number of communities, it is now simpler to manage, while it becomes more powerful at the same time. It is now easier to target campaigns based on which JET8 Community is needed, or by user demographics.

JET8 Wallet

Integrating J8T token into the shop

As we continue to support more currencies on the wallet, we’ve added the J8T token value into the shop products and in the payment selector. We’ll befinishingpayment with J8T token directly in the shop duringthe upcoming weeks.

Enhanced shop navigation

We’ve also improved the shop UI experience. It’s now mucheasierto discover new products, and all products havelargerand more beautiful images.

There are many more improvements on the way: Navigation by categories, custom ordering, price filtering… stay tunedfor new updates soon!

Avatar

As requested from our users you’re now able to change your wallet account avatar directly from the profile settingsin the JET8 Wallet.

Login OAuth provider

We’re working on unifyingall user app accounts into a JET8 Account. This speed up the login process,asitwill no longer be necessary to connect each community separately.Once this is ready, the JET8 Wallet will become a universalOAuth login provider, the same way as Facebookor Instagram does.

Mobile data load

We’ve alsocontinuedaddingmoredata loadproviders in India, Pakistan, in order to give more relevant products to a growing user base in these countries.

JET8 Wallet Dapp

We’re constantly working on polishing up the JET8 Wallet Dapp to make it better and improve its performance. In order to achieve a better connectivity and reliability between the Ethereum blockchain and our platform we have decided to create our own private Ethereum node.

By using our own private Ethereum node we have built a more robust architecture that fits better withour platform’s needs, offering much better performance and speed as well as decreasingany platformdowntime.

DENapps

New architecture

We’re finishing a completely new rewrittenversion of the app’s core. Startingwith a more modern architecture and better user experience, we’ve alsoenhancedtheuser interface with more customisation options. That will allow us to develop new functionalities more quickly. Step by step,as the appsget more customisable, they will be much more engaging to different kinds ofcommunities. This will also allow us to keep theiOS versionsup to datewith theirAndroid counterparts.

Universal JET8 Account

As we mentioned above, the JET8 Wallet will become a login provider for the apps. That way, it will take over the main login on the apps. This willeasethe process by removing the manual connection of each community to a JET8 Account.
