Top 3 Key Takeaways

1. xMoney Cards are ready to go into Phase 2 Family & Friends Testing

Lucian started the conversation by letting the enthusiastic audience know that the testing of xMoney cards is going great. The launch is set for Q3 2023, and right now, they are progressing from Phase One (core team testing) to Phase 2, called the Friends & Family phase, where they will hand out cards to a larger group of people in their network to find out if there are any limitations they need to improve which wouldn’t be visible with only 10 people testing the cards. The team is confident that the Friends & Family user testing group will uncover more hidden bugs and limitations, which they must correct before the launch to all xPortal users – now above 1 million users.

1. xLaunchpad ready for a new listing, accompanied by product updates

Since the last launchpad project listing, xLaunchpad, formerly Maiar Launchpad, is ready for a new listing. Lucian announced that the next launchpad listing is coming up soon. Along with the listing, new features will be released on the xLaunchpad, meaning users can interact and participate in new and different ways. In the next launch, those who hold XMEX (energized MEX token) will get extra ticket eligibility based on their energy tier and their staked EGLD eligibility. Lucian also mentioned that he recently learned about the #MEXto1 movement. Although he acknowledges it is a difficult target to reach due to the aggressive design of the MEX tokenomics, this morale boost is welcomed by the team. He is happy to see more people joining this initiative.

1. In the future, xPortal will onboard new users and builders to MultiversX

Lucian recognized it is not an easy task to predict the future. Which milestone will be more appealing to users or builders – his opinion is that xPortal, especially with the xMoney integration, has a high chance to onboard more users than builders due to its nature of usage and features. In contrast, most builders will probably join the MultiversX ecosystem after the xFabric release as that will be a tool that ensures a smoother token structure creation without requiring in-depth coding skills (or at all) therefore, the time of the project creation from concept to tokenization will be highly reduced.
