Join the testing channel in the ARK Community discord(https://discord.gg/arkecosystem) to get access and download the newly updated version of Payvo.

Following feedback from the initial Payvo Alpha release, we have worked on various improvements across the wallet. The most notable changes relate to the 'Portfolio' page which has had an overhaul.

- Clicking 'more details' now provides a visualized portfolio breakdown.
- The 'Portfolio Latest Transactions' section is now default off by design for newly created wallets as well, these changes can be toggled in settings for new and existing wallets.
