First of all, let us thank you for your outstanding support. Without your feedback, we couldn’t have done such significant progress in the development.

We have released the first version of Ignite with basic functions 5 weeks ago and since that it has been significantly improved, so now it’s time to our first major update which will be available for the public on the 20th of June. Let’s compare what we had upon private beta launch and what we have now.

Basically, during the first stage of private beta, we didn’t even have a properly working user profile and search. A lot of features were in a test mode or even turned off.

Mobile app:

We started to develop the first version of Ignite mobile app together with a private beta launch, in order to release it with a public beta. Upon a launch, Ignite mobile app will be available only for android based devices, IOS app will be released later.

The first 100 users already received access to our app. Currently, it fully synchronized with the web version with all available functions. In addition to that, it is already integrated with PROM wallet. Let us know if you are curious how do we authenticate users on a mobile app from a technical standpoint, we may release a detailed article about that.
