Today we’ve finalised our major update for mobile LOBSTR apps - new Send Flow.
You should receive your new app versions in a few days (v.4.1.0).
Let’s start with a simple question: “how do we send our lumens to each other?”.
Today we share public or federated addresses or scan QR codes. That’s standard of course, but to achieve the idea of “Sending money like email” we could use something more convenient and simple to transfer money daily.
The easiest way to contact anyone today is to use messengers, emails or phone calls. Keybase and Stellar did a great job to make our life easier - integrated Stellar into messenger.
LOBSTR team decided to focus on other options and added ability to send lumens to email address or to any phone number!
That gives users two great benefits:
- You can send crypto to people who never had any Stellar wallet at all. That might be the easiest way for them to jump into Stellar and crypto.
- You don’t need to ask the recipient's address anymore, just select a contact from your address book and send your lumens, that’s it. LOBSTR will care about other things 😉
After sending assets to email address or phone number recipient will receive an email/sms with the information of how to claim his crypto. Basically, he just needs to create an account in LOBSTR with associated email address or phone number.
If the recipient already has LOBSTR account - he will be able to claim money from the wallet home page in one click.
New Send functionality is available on the web app already, you can try it right now.
More updates coming soon, stay tuned, friends!
