Hello “Ber” months, hello new Ka.app updates! We spent the past 3 weeks polishing a few components, completing our MATIC to POL migration, and planning for new features. Without further ado, let’s get to it!
Top Up Your Euro Account with a Card
Card top ups are live! You can now directly add euros into your Ka.app account much quicker with a debit/credit card. There are now 3 different ways to top up your account, which includes using a debit/credit card, doing a bank transfer (i.e., IBAN), and converting crypto to euro.
Here’s how you can top up your account:
- Log in to Ka.app.
- Click/tap ‘Cash.’
- ‘Add funds.’
- The different ways of topping up your account with euros will appear: Card top up, Bank transfer or Crypto convert.
- Select your preferred top up option, and proceed to the next steps.
Ka.app Currency Charts
In our last progress update, we shared that we’ve started developing real-time currency charts on Ka.app. It’s one of our top priorities for boosting user experience, and we’re glad to share that we're working towards the final version of the charts. The charts will allow you to track price movements, study trends and patterns easily, and help you make more informed crypto decisions.
Limit Order Component
Our team is working on a limit order component so you can specify the price at which you want to buy or sell a cryptocurrency, rather than executing a transaction at the current market price. It will give you more control over your transactions by allowing you to set a maximum price you are willing to pay for crypto purchases, or a minimum price you want to receive when selling. We’ll share more about our progress as it develops.
Flow Optimizations
At Ka.app, we’re always looking for ways to make your crypto experience as smooth as possible. Right now, our team is working on two key optimizations within the platform: improving the flow of buying crypto with a card and refining the onboarding flow.
a. Buy Crypto Using a Card Through Top Up
The ability to purchase your favorite tokens seamlessly is at the heart of what we do. Using our Card Top Up functionality, you can add euros to your Ka.app account with a debit/credit card and buy your favorite crypto by converting euros to the desired token.
b. Onboarding Flow
We understand that the sign-up process is your first interaction with Ka.app, and we want to make that experience as fast and smooth as possible to new users. We’re simplifying the sign-up process even more to help users get started faster, reduce friction, and allow them to explore all that our platform has to offer with less steps involved.
MATIC to POL Migration
In case you didn’t know, Polygon (MATIC) migrated to POL on September 4, 2024 because Polygon Labs wanted a more adaptable token tailored to their long-term goals. The migration didn’t affect Polygon network transactions, and users were able to continue using the network as usual. MATIC tokens were seamlessly replaced by POL, including on various platforms worldwide.
We offer MATIC on Ka.app, so we did our own MATIC to POL migration as well. Ka.app users didn’t have to do anything during the process, and your MATIC tokens were automatically swapped for POL on our platform.
Meanwhile, since KASTA tokens were built on the Polygon network, you might be wondering about how it can affect your holdings, too. The good thing is that the tokens are not affected by the migration, so you can use (or just store) your KASTA as usual.
Ka.app Demo Option
We’re in the early stages of developing a demo version of Ka.app. This will allow non-Ka.app users (your prospective referrals included) to explore our platform’s features and functionalities without having to sign up right away.
It’s designed to make the decision-making process for them easier, while offering an overview experience of how simple it is to buy, sell, send, receive, deposit, convert, withdraw, and store crypto with Ka.app.
Token Automation Mechanism
Another thing in the works is the token automation mechanism to streamline the process of adding new cryptocurrencies to Ka.app.
Instead of manually adding tokens, the automation process will ensure that new assets are added smoothly without disrupting the user experience. This will not only be efficient in terms of implementation for our team but also allows users to access a wider range of assets much faster.
Team Onboarding and Expansion Continues
