The UPCX project is on the verge of reaching significant milestones. UPCX CMO Koki Sato has recently engaged in multiple discussions with the community, sharing updates on the current mainnet progress, the development status of existing ecosystem products, and future market strategies and ecosystem building plans. These conversations showcase the steady advancement and broad prospects of the UPCX project.
Mainnet Progress: Testnet Launch on the Horizon
In the community discussions, Koki Sato emphasized the progress of the UPCX mainnet. The project team plans to launch the testnet in August 2024, at which time community users can experience functions such as Swap interactions. To express gratitude for the ongoing support from community members, the UPCX team will conduct an exclusive airdrop incentive event with substantial rewards during the test net launch. This event conveys appreciation to the community members and aims to further promote the development of the project’s ecosystem.
With the launch of the test net, UPCX will gradually introduce its core ecosystem products, providing users with comprehensive payment and financial solutions:
1) UPCX Wallet
UPCX Wallet is a digital wallet application designed for easy use by anyone. Its “Named Accounts” feature allows users to create simple and easy-to-understand unique string IDs, similar to email addresses, for completing fund transfers. UPCX Wallet supports various payment methods, including mobile payments, Tap payments, and offline payments, greatly enhancing payment convenience.
2) UPCX POS Application
Following the wallet, UPCX will also launch the UPCX POS application, designed for businesses of all sizes and industries. This application simplifies payment processing and inventory management, allowing seamless payment processing using UPCX’s native currency UPC, as well as UPCX UIA and MPA. It also supports offline payment functionality, ensuring payments can be completed even without a network connection.
3) UPCX Hardware Wallet
A card-based hardware wallet based on NFC technology will also be released to enhance user payment security and convenience. This hardware wallet is designed as a credit card for easy daily carrying and utilizes quantum-resistant computer encryption technology to ensure transaction security. Users can access their digital assets anytime by simply swiping the card on an NFC device, enjoying a convenient and secure transaction experience.
These ecosystem products not only showcase UPCX’s strength in technological innovation but also provide users with diverse payment options.
