Polis Project Weekly Updates (08/14 to 08/20)
PolisPay cards
We were overwhelmed by the amount of support and excitement from our community, so we wanted to take some time to answer some FAQ about the cards:
When will the card be released?
At the moment there is no exact release date, although the release is scheduled for the Q4. Stay tuned for further updates!
If I already had a PolisPay card, will I be able to use it?
If you had the PolisPay card issued by MasterCard, you wouldn’t be able to use your card as the providers have changed. Union Pay will provide new cards.
Will the beta testers from the past card remain the same, or will they change?
If you were a beta tester from the previous card, you would remain a beta tester for the new card.
I’m interested in being a beta tester. What can I do?
If you would like to apply for the new card, please fill out this form:
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us on our official social media network accounts.
PolisPay
We recently released PolisPay version 7.2.0.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR MNEMONIC PHRASE AT HAND BEFORE UPDATING, AS THIS UPDATE WILL ASK FOR YOUR MNEMONIC AGAIN.
We worked hard to update the look and feel of our app to match the nature of our products. We hope you like it! We have been working on a rebranding for quite some time, and we are ready to show you the brand new PolisPay image.
The version 7.2.0 has the following patch notes:
— Reduced data usage, smarted rate gathering, and processing
— Upgrades to Shift, in terms of service reliability
— Removal of unnecessary sections
— UX Improvements
— Ability to get to the send/receive page from within the home screen. Just swipe to the left!
— Eliminated useless info from transaction history and details
— GIN will no longer be supported

The Polis Team values the safety of our users, we want to offer the best and most secure options and features to them. That is why we are implementing Trezor support.
For the past couple of weeks, the team has been working hard on implementing Trezor support. Trezor is a hardware wallet that provides advanced and secure cold storage for cryptocurrency private key and the ability to spend with the convenience of a hot wallet.
In the coming weeks, we’ll officially announce Trezor support for PC versions (macOS, Windows, and Linux) mobile versions will not be available.
PolisPay Vouchers
We recently announced a new way for you to use your Polis to get digital gift cards from your favorite shops without leaving our app, use your Polis on real-world goods and services. You can read the full announcement here:
Update regarding the release of the open beta vouchers feature on the PolisPay app:
Before the Open Beta release to the public, we decided to perform a closed beta with trusted members from the community. While performing this closed beta, we found an issue that could potentially not allow us to process the payments of the vouchers. We are gutted not to be able to release this feature but remain committed to releasing the best possible product for our users.
The release of the feature is scheduled for the coming week.
Polis Core
The weekly Polis will be scheduled for another date and will now be released on every Wednesday of each week. On the other hand, official announcements will be slated for Mondays, or other days if necessary.
For the past couple of weeks, the team has been working hard on a brand new image and a redesign to our websites. We are thrilled to show you what we have in store, here’s the new Polis logo that will be used throughout our social media and websites.
We’ll gradually be updating the websites and social media networks in the coming weeks with our brand new image, look out for sneak peeks and easter eggs on our posts.
