I will provide my honest review about the UTOPIA Ecosystem, having been using it actively for the past two (2) months.
Download:I visited the Utopia website and downloaded UTOPIA for Windows. I downloaded the recommended 64-bit version, which suits the specifications of my laptop. The installation took less than 10 minutes, and I experienced no issues.
Account Creation:After installation, I ran the application. The next step was to create a new account. I was prompted to enter a Nickname, which I did. For the sake of anonymity, I didn't enter my first name or last name. I created a strong password.
First Impression After Account Creation:I am greeted by a pop-up that welcomes me to the UTOPIA ecosystem. I like it. Any new person who needs direction can easily take this detailed tour and will have no problem exploring it on their own after the first time. The mini-tour contains the user's Public Key and other very important features of the application.
uMail:I have used uMail a few times to invite my friends for a chat. All I did was enter their Public Key, and after that, I was able to contact my friends. I enjoy it. I know I am not asking for much or expecting too much, but is there a way that it could be remotely possible in future updates to be able to send emails to friends outside of the application from within the application?
uChannels:This is where I spend most of my time on the application, especially the chat lobby. It features a lot of discussions from users asking questions about what UTOPIA is all about and giving out the latest information on the CRP market. Users also help to answer questions about the general cryptocurrency ecosystem as well. Mostly, you get to create a channel and join. There is a mining channel, a music channel, a channel for game lovers, and so on. Moderators also help to maintain decorum here.
uWallet:The uWallet is another feature on the application that I have used. To me, it is one of the most, if not the most, important feature on the application. Personally, I have been able to send CRP from my uWallet to a crypton exchange, and the transaction was seamless. Though at first, it may look tricky to a beginner, spending just a little bit of time on it will surely get you the hang of it.
Crypton Cards:I won't fail to mention this very important feature - the Crypton card. Basically, if any user on the crypto ecosystem is a merchant, and I need to purchase an item from the user, I can use this card for payment, which would be in CRP, and I do not have to reveal my public key. The fee to issue the card was 3 CRP. I created the card, and now I'll wait until I see a merchant who uses CRP.
Swap feature:I also tested out the swap feature, and it worked seamlessly. I swapped 1 CRP for 0.49 uusd.
Utopia AI:I absolutely love this one. Who doesn't? AI makes our lives easier. I also tested out this feature. I asked UTOPIA AI to tell me a joke. You could ask it literally anything, and it works just like ChatGPT or any other AI chat.
Airdrop:Users who love airdrops and would prefer to accumulate CRP through this method rather than buying can participate in Utopia Airdrop. The modalities on how to go about receiving the CRP are clearly spelled out.
General Observation:- I find it difficult to sync the mobile and desktop applications; I don't know why. Also, I noticed that you cannot get full functionality on the mobile version like the desktop version. Additionally, I experience some sort of lagging when I update the desktop application.
- I strongly believe in the project, having been following them for the past 2 months on Twitter, Telegram, and even here on the forum. I believe the project will succeed. I am not bothered about CRP price at all. In no time, as more people adopt it, it will reach and cross the $1 mark. We just have to be patient. Also, more exchanges will list them. It is a step-by-step process.
- The desktop application consumes a lot of network bandwidth. It is a cause for concern and should be fixed ASAP.
- On the issue of decentralization, crypto enthusiasts cannot overlook this one. We need to be able to know that our interaction and CRP on the platform are safe and secure and not going to be a cause for concern.
