We want to share some updates on where we are with APIs.
An API engine is being considered for integration into our exchange. We are looking at how we can manage the API to prevent malicious usage and increase the security of our platform.We are not able to commit to a timeline but we will update when progress is made on the API.
The road to rolling out APIs draws nearer.
New hires.
Six new developers are in the process of being confirmed. They will be coming on board in June.
Their roles are as follows:-Dev-ops Engineer
-Network Engineer
-Two Front-end Developers
-Backend Developer
-Application Operation Software Engineer
-with more coming…
Now, we want to manage your expectations here. We are as excited as you are, in knowing that there is new manpower coming. But they will need time to review the infrastructure, on-boarding, etc. Once they are settled in, you can look forward to a more stable exchange and a better experience with us.
The new UI is coming along great. All pages have been completed, and we are in the last stages of squashing little bugs in them. We are in the home stretch! If the final tests runs smooth we should be very close to unveiling the new look of our site.
A security company has been engaged to conduct penetration testing. For security purposes, the name of the company will not be revealed. However, we can disclose that the company is an approved member of CREST. This means that the company is regulated, and has a proven track record in processes and procedures in the technical information security industry. Do check out the CREST website for more information on this organization.
Speaking of security, our three developers in KL have also been working on improving our current security features. Work of this nature is mostly behind the scenes, so it will not be something visible to the public, but we want to give you greater peace of mind when using our exchange.
To add on : you would also be pleased to know that they are working on additional payment channels for FIAT deposit/withdrawals which would provide more options for you.
Stay tuned for more updates in the near future.
We would like to give a shoutout to Dassman, a member of our community. He has created a infographic comparing the features between various exchanges and has given permission for us to share it with everyone.
