Development Updates

The month of March was a ramp-up for what should be an exciting period of time where we can finally begin to discuss and show off our newest developments! Read on for the details.

Checkout V2 💳

It’s coming! VERY soon. Checkout V2 is already live on a couple of select project websites as a part of a closed beta so we can test internally and polish the UI/UX. Checkout V2 brings a healthy load of improvements, optimizations, and quality-of-life improvements to the classic Checkout experience.

The keen eye may have noticed that there is a ‘Buy ETH with Credit Card’ icon on the Checkout interface, and it is exactly what it looks like. FIAT IS HERE*.* 🎉

Powered by Unlimint’s GateFi on-ramp, Checkout V2 will enable fiat on-ramping for Binance Smart Chain (BNB), Ethereum, Polygon (MATIC), and Avalanche. A full post dedicated to Checkout V2 will come closer to the time when V2 is ready to move out of closed beta.

Checkout Bot for Telegram and Discord 🤖

Embr is dedicated to pushing the Embr payments technology far and wide. DeFi projects are well-known for utilizing Telegram/Discord BuyBots. These bots help communities generate excitement while keeping people informed on key market information and volume.

Pair this existing concept with Embr’s payments tech and you get the Checkout Bot for Telegram and Discord — a new, easier way to buy tokens as a community member on Discord and Telegram. Just like with Checkout V2, expect a separate, dedicated write-up here on Medium when we get closer to a roll-out for the Checkout Bot.

Project Updates

In addition to development updates, we have some project updates to share with everyone! Expect this section to include project-relevant news that doesn’t explicitly fall into the category of ‘development’.

Whitepaper 📃

You read that heading correctly! Embr is preparing to release a full whitepaper to properly discuss the direction Embr is heading in and provide deeper insight into key developments we’ve made.

Expect this to drop fairly soon, and expect this to be an extremely exciting announcement when the time comes. The team has worked relentlessly over the past months to bring you the news/information you will soon see in this Whitepaper.

Website Refresh 🌐

It isn’t a secret that the Join Embr token-specific website is painfully outdated and in need of a facelift. Now that we’re further into development and understand the direction of Embr more clearly, we are going to refresh joinembr.com and bring it into the scope of the Embr.org domain to help consolidate all our various resources better.

Embr.org is going to become the true home for Embr holders, business affairs, token discovery, and more.

Community Updates

Along with all the development and project updates, we’ve been slowly ramping up our social media presence and community outreach.

Mega Spotlight 🔦

Every month on the first, Embr will host Mega Spotlight events to bring multiple projects in our network of influence together to pitch their project ideas, talk about their developments, and enjoy some fun minigames.

On Saturday, April 1, 2023, we hosted our second Mega Spotlight in our Telegram community and had a dozen projects deliver pitches to the crowd. Keep an eye on our Twitter for more information about upcoming Mega Spotlights!

As we wrap up this month’s recap, we couldn’t be more thrilled with the strides we’ve made in development, project initiatives, and community engagement. Our team is constantly working to bring you a seamless Web3 experience with a Web2 touch.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements, and thank you for being part of our growing Embr family. Here’s to another month of embracing the future together!
