![]()#### **Payment UX Improvements**

We have updated the modals for all payment functionality across the app. Next time you boost, stream, zap, deposit or withdraw, you will notice that a few changes.

We now display both sats and USD values when making a payment. When choosing a custom amount, you can enter a value in either sats or USD. When making a payment, we have also added toast notifications to confirm that your payment was successful.

The best thing about $100k Bitcoin is it’s much easier to working out how much things cost because 1000 sats equals $1. The price won’t stay the same for long, but when it does you will be grateful for this update.

We will be adding support for more currencies in 2025 and we are currently working on reducing friction for listeners who want to deposit and withdraw using their preferred currency. Stay tuned!

![]()#### **Faster Boosts**

Previously, you sometimes had to wait five seconds or longer for your boost to be sent. This was not a good experience. We’ve done some work to make boosts approximately 50% faster - so you should notice the difference.

There are a few other updates to boosts too. As well as being able to see the dollar value of the sats you are sending, you can now toggle between sending a boost or a comment. We have made a couple of design improvements to the boost modals too.

Finally, you can now boost any podcast or artist on Fountain from your web browser. Just log in and pay using your Fountain wallet.

BOOM! We are happy to announce new UI/UX improvements for offer makers and takers. As we say in P2P - more offers - more liquidity. Now creating your own offer to buy Bitcoin takes less than 30 seconds!

Since Nov 2022, our volumes and trades have tripled the previous records meaning that non-custodial Bitcoin P2P is alive and growing globally. We've managed to add new regions: LATAM, Asia, and Africa.

We see that more and more beginners are joining our platform, so giving a simple and user-friendly solution is crucial. A new main page and offer list with an improved search system were presented in Nov 2022.

And now we are releasing a new version of the OFFER CREATE and OFFER ACCEPT pages.

And a new offer creation engine with a simplified and advanced version.

If you don't like the offers you see, you can easily create your own, and it takes less than 30 seconds. Furthermore, we have significantly improved our mobile version, and now you can accept or create offers on the go.

Of course, we are not stopping here. By the end of this year, Hodl Hodl trading will be fully redesigned, and we will release some of the highly requested features. Meanwhile, stack some sats and hodl!

And remember, even if your bank is closed - P2P works 24/7.
