Dear Pundians,

We are almost approaching the end of 2022. It’s no double that this year has been a challenging one, especially for those in the crypto market. It’s a lesson for those operating and providing crypto services that they need to focus on transparency, corporate governance, risk management, and consumer protection to rebuild their confidence. Also, the users are able to learn and understand how to self-custody their digital assets which is what people can use the web3 technology for, to take back ownership of their digital assets. At Pundi X, we are heading in this direction and providing more options for people to use the technology to transact their digital assets in the way they are comfortable with.

Let’s take a look at the highlights in November.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The world’s first web3.0 point-of-sale platform launched in Singapore Fintech Festival

Web 3.0 enables financial openness and decentralization, including peer-to-peer digital asset transactions and smart contracts. We started building XPOS as a custodial platform 5 years ago. Today, XPOS can not only process payments and sales from 3rd party blockchain wallets but also support decentralized apps and multiple blockchain networks to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions.

Watch how XPOS transforms itself into the web 3.0 point-of-sale platform presented by 

Zac Cheah, Pundi X CEO and Co-Founder during Singapore Fintech Festival 2022.

Cashier Pro is now available for all XPOS merchants

In November, we upgraded the XPOS platform with supporting on-chain payment via Bitcoin Lightning Network and Tron Network in addition to Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. When accepting payments from a 3rd party blockchain wallet, XPOS merchants can now use Cashier Pro to process the payment with ease.

XWallet upgrade

Starting from November 11, the Pundi X developers will revamp XWallet, including upgrading know-your-customer verification APIs and later sunsetting the completed campaigns, daily sign-ups, Telegram chat, and crypto gift feature.

Once we complete the API upgrade, we will re-open the new user registration. Also due to compliance, we will be off-boarding users in some countries. Users will be notified via email and XWallet in-app announcement to make necessary account arrangements.
