StellarX launches mobile app for Android and iOS

StellarX, the trading platform built on the Stellar universal marketplace, today updated on the launch of its new native mobile apps, which were designed and developed by the team behind BlockEQ (acquired by Coinsquare), the first Stellar mobile wallet application.

“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

The Android StellarX mobile app targets the lastest 7 OS versions, which provides users with wider coverage by allowing older Android devices access to the app. The iOS app targets back to iOS 11. The developers did not elect to target back further as 85% of the current iPhone market is on iOS 12.0 or later.

Mobile Features

StellarX is releasing the apps in multiple deployments, and started with Android at the end of June and now is releasing iOS this month. Users can register now on all 3 platforms (web, Android, iOS).

Below is a list of the v1 functionality.

• StellarX Authentication: Log in 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

The development team is already working on improving the mobile product with the following 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: 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).

Web Update

Beyond the newly released mobile apps, the Stellar X team also has scheduled the following upgrades on the native web app:

• 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. The 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 the market listings.
• Export Transactions: The ability to download your transaction history. Simple and often requested by our users.
• Dynamic Fees: 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.

“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.”
