Here’s a summary of new features and updates from the last week.

New market order form

This week we revamped the Veil order form for buying or selling shares in markets. The new order form includes a representation of the order book (outstanding buy and sell offers) and a more intuitive switch between “best available price” (i.e. market order) and “set your own price” (i.e. limit order) options. Try out the new order form (as seen below) on any market.

Ethereum transaction tracking

We also added a site-wide system for tracking pending Ethereum transactions (like trades, redemption requests, deposits) without slowing down the user experience. One of the worst parts of the UX of many Ethereum apps is having to wait for transactions to be confirmed. With this update, we have redesigned parts of Veil to ensure that you never have to wait for a transaction to confirm before moving on to your next action item. You can now click the number in the header next to your Veil balance to see pending transactions and review them on Etherscan.

Updated FAQs

As we get closer to launching on mainnet, we’re making an effort to improve our documentation and support resources. This week we updated our Frequently Asked Questions list to include new content and to make each question linkable for easier sharing. We’re constantly adding to this list, so don’t hesitate to reach out (hello@veil.co, Twitter, or Discord) if you’re wondering about something and don’t see it listed.

Happy 2019!

Finally, happy (almost) new year! We started Veil only in August of 2018, but check out our past weekly updates if you’re interested in some of the things we’ve done since then. We can’t wait for all that’s in store for 2019!
