Plutus Bi-Monthly Report — Micro-Animations (Jun 2/2)
Welcome back to our bi-monthly report, progress at Plutus is coming along nicely and the team are keen to unveil all their hard work.
Pinned Announcements- Access to features is available to team accounts and members of our Pilot Programme.
- The aim of the Pilot is to gather feedback from our community in order to provide an improved platform for the wider audience.
- Our site and a new app will be available to the wider public once the pilot ends, unveiling our new live features.
Development UpdateMobile App ProgressThe core features of our mobile app are operational, and we will be sharing the minimum viable product (MVP) with our test card users for feedback and functional testing very soon. We are currently awaiting some high-end micro-animations for the mobile app to heighten the user experience. We are using Lottie by Airbnb, a well-known animation tool that exports files in JSON format and renders them natively on various device types.
Approaching Pilot RolloutWith the MVP — users will be able to log in, view their balances, transfer fiat, view transactions, perform all card activities (freeze, unfreeze, etc.), and log out. Other features will be rolled out incrementally in line with our sprint schedule. We will also be releasing our crypto DEX to pilot users shortly for rigorous testing. Please keep an eye out on our
Discord channel for further updates regarding release windows.
Marketing UpdateCard MailerWith the Plutus Debit Cards and packaging in production, the team has been sourcing a luxury mailer to send our product in. The team has been looking at various high-quality padded parcels that protect our product whilst meeting our strict brand requirements (dimensions, texture, colour, etc.). We have identified a slick mailer that houses the packaging snuggly and we are finalising a bulk purchase. A great deal of thought has been placed on every imaginable element to make your unboxing experience a pleasure.
InfographicsThe marketing team has begun creating a series of interesting infographics to educate our user base and highlight some of the benefits of using Plutus. The mini-series will include a number of topical facts for all types of enthusiasts (from the newbies to the veterans).
Pluton RewardsThe team has established a potential rewards partner and we are well into discussions with them over the possible rewards to offer our users. However, in order to ensure the greatest benefits to our valued community, we are continuing to research alternative 3rd party reward partners that can provide you with the best possible incentives.
General UpdateCard ProductionOur physical Plutus Debit Cards are in production right now and we expect a final delivery date from the manufacturers anytime now. We can then phase out our pilot programme test cards with the real thing — shipping to both UK and EEA users in planned stages.

Fact: Mining machines used to validate cryptocurrency transactions consume an incredible amount of energy. According to
Digiconomist, Bitcoin consumes more electricity than Switzerland, and a single transaction uses enough electricity to power 17.2 U.S. households for a day.
*Figures are an aggregate of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash*
Despite these shocking statistics, a
study from CoinShare released this month estimates that 74.1% of Bitcoin mining is powered by renewable energy; helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency.
