Launch of the Builders program: Android wallet beta release

Dear community,

I hope that every one of you and your dearest ones are in good health during these trying times. With France’s mandatory lockdown, we had to adapt quickly to organize ourselves to work remotely, but we came to a good balance and managed to keep our services online and without significant issues. Even in these difficult conditions, we are thriving to deliver what we have planned for the current year.

And so, we are happy today to announce the release of the Android wallet for X-Cash as the first contribution of the Builders’ program!

In case you missed it, have a look at our previous Medium article that explained the builders’ program and contribution to the X-Cash Foundation.

📱Android Wallet

The Android wallet (beta) is downloadable on the official GitHub release.

It has been requested for a long time now, and we are glad to finally put it in your hands!

The X-Cash Android wallet will enable you to easily and securely manage your XCASH, directly on your phone.

You can manage several wallets directly on the dashboard, add contacts to your address book, and once DPOPS is released on the mainnet, you will be able to vote for a delegate directly on the wallet.

Thanks to the contribution of @snakewaypasser, you can now download and try the new wallet on your Android phone (compatible with Android 4.2+).

The Android wallet is the first successful project of the Builders’ Program, our high-reward bounty program to retribute contributions to the X-Cash ecosystem.
Our dear @snakewaypasser will be rewarded 35,000,000 XCASH for the completion of this project.

All transactions made from the community funds will be public and written in our monthly financial report.

So what happens next?

📣 WE NEED YOU!

The first project is done, but it doesn’t mean that the wallet is completely functional and can’t be improved. As a beta version, you will encounter bugs and services issues. We will need you to help us find these issues and report them.

And as in any open-source project, you will be able to participate in the development. Have a look at our contributing guidelines if you want to see how to develop with us while keeping the project clean and sound.

As people will encounter issues and report them, we will know where to concentrate our efforts. To some of these issues, we will assign a Bounty Tag.

The tag will indicate issues that we believe can be undertaken by a member of the community, and for which the X-Cash Foundation will give a reward for the completion.

As of today, you can participate in the development of every repository in the X-Cash Foundation organization, so keep your eyes open 👀. Many more will be added as the ecosystem grows.

“I want to work on a project!”

We love your enthusiasm! That is why we are creating the X-Builders Projects 🚧. This repository will be a hub of all the projects that the foundation will fund with the community fund. Members of the community will also be able to propose projects that they wish to pursue and for which they need funding.

These projects will usually span for a few weeks to even a few months, and the reward will reflect the impact that they have on the ecosystem.

🙏 Conclusion

While we are thrilled to be able to offer you today a secure and easy way to manage your XCASH on Android devices, we believe that this wallet is the first stepping stone to the builders’ program. As time goes on and with your help, we will increase tenfold our ecosystem and put X-Cash at the place it deserves!

Thank you for your unwavering support, and keep your eyes open for some news soon 👀
