StellarX Mobile, A New Frontier
Finally! We are excited to announce StellarX mobile on Android and iOS as well as provide an update on our upcoming roadmap on both web and mobile!
“This is another step toward making StellarX accessible to everyone and increasing adoption and usage. By becoming a multi-platform DEX, we are excited by the possibility of offering a mobile experience to users in ‘mobile-first’ regions around the world.” — StellarX Engineering Team.
StellarX’s native mobile apps are designed and developed by the team behind BlockEQ (acquired by Coinsquare), the first Stellar mobile wallet application. Our goal is to make transacting on the Stellar network accessible and as easy as downloading an app on your mobile phone.
OS Support:
Our decisions on OS support centred around keeping our global user base in mind.
The Android StellarX mobile app targets the last 7 OS versions — this provides users with wider coverage by allowing users with older Android devices to use the app. Our iOS app targets back to iOS 11. We did not elect to target back further as 85% of the current iPhone market is on iOS 12.0 or later.
Mobile Features:
We have released our apps in multiple deployments, starting on Android at the end of June and then releasing iOS in mid-July.
Below is a list of the v1 functionality.
- Sign Up: you can register now on all 3 platforms (web, Android, iOS), but always remember your passphrase and store it safely!
- StellarX Authentication: login using the same credentials and restore accounts and settings
- Wallet Capabilities: view balance by currency, protocol minimum balance requirements, send and receive any token on the network
- Activity & Transactions: view recent activity and transactions
- Inflation: set Inflation destinations
- Add Tokens: add any token on the network
- Multiple Accounts: for multiple account holders, there’s the ability to switch between accounts
- Themes: light and dark theme switching for Android
What’s Next on Mobile?
We are already working on improving our mobile products and we have exciting features coming up in future releases.
- Path Payments: specify a series of assets to route a payment through, from source asset (the asset debited from the payer) to destination asset (the asset credited to the payee).
- Market Listings & Trading: buy and sell any token listed on StellarX. Easily execute trades with one touch.
- Look Up By Domain: the ability to look up tokens by domain instead of by issuer address.
- Contact List Integration stellar addresses can become associated with personal contacts for easy sending and receiving transactions between friends.
- Filter By Transactions: the ability to filer recent activity by different transaction types (i.e. payments, trades).
We are looking forward to continuing to offer feature rich products to the Stellar community as we continue to build Stellar’s leading decentralized exchange. StellarX’s Android and iOS mobile apps are a step toward making StellarX accessible to everyone and increasing adoption and usage.
Now you might be wondering, what is coming to our web app? We have additional existing feature improvements and new features to announce too!
What’s next for web?
- Path Payments: specify a series of assets to route a payment through, from source asset (the asset debited from the payer) to destination asset (the asset credited to the payee).
- Anchors: more crypto and fiat anchors for deposits and withdrawals on and off StellarX as well as improvements to our user experience for deposits and withdrawals. Our goal is to continue to offer more options for deposits and withdrawals as we know on and off ramping is key to the growth of the Stellar ecosystem.
- More markets: adding more high demand currencies and tokens in our market listings. Stellar is THE blockchain for digitizing any off-chain asset, so we are focused on continuing to improve our ability to unify disjoint economies and blockchains on Stellar.
- Export Transactions: The ability to download your transaction history. Simple and often requested by our users. We’re listening! :)
- Dynamic Fees: the ability for users to choose their own transaction fees.
- Merge Accounts: the ability for users to close out balances from one Stellar account to another.
What’s Beyond All Of This?
While we are excited to highlight some of what we have accomplished and what’s coming) since acquiring StellarX, the buck doesn’t stop here.
“Our goal is to mold StellarX into not just an exchange, but a destination for moving assets in new and innovative ways in, out, and within the Stellar ecosystem. It’s not only about trading, it’s also about releasing features with real-life use cases. The only way to do that is to think beyond traditional exchange features, and look to bridge the gaps that can allow us to cross the chasm into the mainstream — think cross border payments and remittances, peer to peer trading and lending, FX settlement. The possibilities are endless, and we’re sitting in a privileged position having StellarX as our jumping point.”
