Card Wallet is a mobile application that provides a customized view of the unique structure of Card Pay and the actions you can take within the Card Pay ecosystem. We have now added support in the template for displaying another type of safe: A merchant account.

Stripe is a popular developer tool that is becoming more of a merchant-facing tool, which allows you to create FinTech connections, so you can accept credit cards and transfer money to bank accounts. How is Card Pay similar to Stripe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbhqUU-GjUM&t=96s

Catch us today at 7am EDT / 1pm CEST / 7pm SGT for an AMA session with KuCoin. More details here: https://t.me/Kucoin_News/6588

We're currently preparing the design artifacts to submit Card Wallet to the Apple app store. We want to enable beta testers to download the iOS wallet to test out the dApp features, as many of the Card Pay dashboard features require proper configuration of a layer-2 wallet.

A DeFi price feed is used to display users' purchasing power in Card Pay; but it is also an important aspect of the revenue pool, determining how many tokens we need to withdraw from a prepaid card to give to the merchant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHDBF_OHSDI&t=440s

We have successfully pushed the first version of the Card Wallet, an iOS application, through App Store Connect and received Apple’s approval for TestFlight beta testing!

On the protocol development front, improvements are being made to the core Card Pay protocol family. The aim is to increase the robustness and handle special error conditions that arise when wallets are too low on tokens to be able to pay for gas.

While users don't need to have a separate gas token to perform actions through the Card Pay protocol,they need to have enough value in one of their token balances, because the system will deduct the requisite tokens to substitute the gas fees that are advanced by the relayer.

We are currently focused on end-to-end testing of the Card Bridge protocol as well as the multisig wallet creation workflow that is part of the Card Pay protocol.

Our testing involves both the dApp and the mobile wallet working well together. There are many dependent services from blockchain nodes, indexes like The Graph, relayers for meta transactions, as well as native code for user wallet interactions.

While work continues on expanding the scope of the user experience both in the dApp and the native app, the core protocol and the SDK is reaching a very mature state.

We expect changes to be minimal from this point onwards. All team members are using the common Card Pay SDK that is already available as open-source code in the Cardstack GitHub.
