Welcome to one of the most important instalments of our Weekly Report thus far. Great news everyone!

Just as Dorian, Ionian, or Carinthian were the pillars of Ancient Greece, Bitcoin and Ethereum form the foundation that supports the entire cryptocurrency economy.

That is why, in the coming week, we will be opening the Plutus gates to the world’s pantheon of its most popular cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This means that BTC and ETH will be joining Pluton (PLU) as tradeable, live currency on both Plutus Tap & Pay for Android/iOS and our web-based peer-to-peer PlutusDEX exchange. The dev team is now putting the finishing touches on the product release.

Bitcoin and Ethereum functionality will be enabled as soon as the new and improved version of Plutus Tap & Pay goes live in the respective App store(s).

Please note that there are still temporary spending limits during the initial stages, but live trading will be enabled. Get ready.

Plutus Tap & Pay for Android/iOS: Need to get from your bitcoin address to your bank account? Charge your balance on Plutus Tap & Pay, and instantly withdraw to your account of choice using SEPA. Your deposits will fuel the peer-to-peer liquidity of the PlutusDEX: http://plutus.it

Need to buy Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum? Use the PlutusDEX to place a buy order using EUR.

What makes Plutus unique? Our system is designed in a manner that ensures that your coins will never be stored on any exchange or centralised server. Instead, they will travel directly to the wallet address that you have specified. (Even cold storage for example.)

Now that we will have Bitcoin and Ethereum support, marketing is already starting to speed up.

What’s next?

  • By popular demand and persistent inquiries by our community, we will also be finalising our latest roadmap for the launch of upcoming features.

All systems ready. It’s showtime. Below you will find our tech progress for the week:

  • A major infrastructure upgrade is in progress. We are migrating to Kubernetes clusters, which allows us to scale better and provide high availability of our resources.
  • We migrated our frontend to GraphQL and implemented real-time subscriptions. This is currently being tested internally.
  • Integration with our new cards issuer is going well. We have received access to the sandbox, started testing their API and planning architecture changes accordingly.

Announcement: Plutus Community Telegram Group

As we are going to scale in the coming months, we have made community support one of our top priorities.

This is why we have now launched a new official Telegram channel for our community members, early adopters, and token sale participants.

Our new Telegram channel PLUTUS COMMUNITY is intended for discussions around anything related to Plutus as well as Pluton. This channel is public, and anyone is welcome to join. You could also call it a “general discussion” channel.

The existing Plutus channel will now be used for support, new updates, as well as an introduction for new members. If you have any questions, or difficulties using the app, this is where to get help:

Need to know what happens when it happens? Make sure you follow our Medium blog. All updates will be posted on Medium before anywhere else.

If you have any questions or need help, please reach out to us on our Telegram support channel. Our team will be glad to assist you.

Sincerely,

Plutus
