Mobius Mobile Wallet App v1 is on the way! 🎉

The Mobius mobile app provides a simple and secure way to transact on the Stellar Network.

Get securely setup in minutes and start using blockchain assets starting with Stellar Lumens (XLM) and Mobius (MOBI) in the v1 release. Mobius’ wallet delivers lightning fast transactions at near 0 fees. Why blindly trust centralized exchanges that can completely lose, freeze, or mismanage your precious private keys? Stop paying ridiculously high withdrawal, transaction, and trading fees on major centralized exchanges too (i.e. Bye Bye Bye Binance)! Mobius’ mobile app gives financial freedom and power back to the people.

Simple UI, elegant design, and robust security are all combined into this 100% non-custodial wallet so we never have access to your private key and you have complete control of all your assets 24/7. Like the DApp Store, the upcoming Mobius mobile wallet is 100% open-sourced too. 😎🐳

Here is a sneak-peak at the latest features in test and development right now:

The mobile wallet setup is very simple. Write down your unique mnemonic phrase (store it somewhere safe). This is your money so don’t lose it! Next a multiple-choice section checks to see if you properly recorded and remember your secret phrase. 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀✨

Now you’re ready to rock and roll! Fund your wallet, view balances, and start sending payments. 🚀

Community Growth Program

Beyond the v1 mobile wallet release, we are also thinking about how we can best leverage the 288M+ MOBI dedicated to community growth as part of our increasing mobile first strategy. Ideas under consideration include MOBI rewards for all those that pass KYC/AML verification in the mobile app. Other ideas include staking rewards on the mobile wallet (i.e. staking 100,000 MOBI to receive X MOBI airdrops over Y period of time via highly secure yet simple escrow contracts on blockchain).

If you have a suggestion please email it to community@mobius.network 💡🌟

Hello (Decentralized) World — Stellar Adopting Mobius’ Protocol!

Mobius developed a Stellar Web Auth Protocol for the DApp Store 2.0 in order to create a more seamless and compliant solution for decentralized payments between merchants and customers. Stellar is now adopting Mobius’ protocol. More details can be found in our blog here!

This represents the next steps towards enabling billions of more people and trillions of dollars of assets on Stellar. The network effects are powerful drivers of global user adoption, which includes Mobius. As development of the protocol continues, both borders and inefficient intermediaries seemingly disappear with the tap of a button (or snap of a QR code). Finally, be your own bank (BYOB) with MOBI and own your own private keys with ease. All you need is a cell phone. 💵📲🤳

Mobius Patent Filings

Mobius has four US provisional patents that the company will be using to seek international patent protection under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).

The first patent submission consists of a system for decentralized marketplace auctions on blockchain in which Mobius serves as a marketplace where merchants and customers can sell personalized data in blockchain-based auctions for MOBI. The second patent filing is for the Mobius’ Proof of Stake Oracle protocol (PSOP), which is a protocol that ensures data transmission by transacting parties (oracles) is high quality via token (MOBI) staking.

Happy Labor Day!
