The Qortal Trifecta Is Here!
The Qortal development team is proud to announce the release of a brand new User Interface: the Qortal Trifecta! Make way for browsing the Qortal blockchain in a more efficient and improved fashion!
Qortal Hub is available now for download on Windows, Linux or Mac as a desktop app, Qortal Go is available for download as an Android app, and the Qortal Extension is available on any Chromium browser, on the Chrome Web Store!
This new user interface introduces a much cleaner and polished design for improved usability, boasts improvements in speed and memory usage, and introduces a litany of different new features, including but not limited to group-encrypted chats, group message threads, gateway nodes, personalized Q-Apps dashboards, and much more!
Moreover, with the new release of Qortal Go, it’s now possible to browse the Qortal blockchain from anywhere, offering unparalleled accessibility in the Web3 space. Want to send an encrypted message to a friend while sitting in the bus? Possible! Want to watch a video downloaded from another user’s computer across the word, while waiting in line at the store? Also possible!
This new Qortal release is breaking down barriers between Web2 and Web3 for everyone, all the while not sacrificing its commitment to privacy and user data ownership. We’ve also included tutorials through the user interface, to facilitate onboarding for new users!
Interested in getting started? Visit the downloads page, where you’ll find the download links for Qortal Hub, and the Play Store link for Qortal Go. Support us, and please join the “ui-extension” group once in Qortal to provide us valuable feedback on how we can improve the user interfaces.
Are you as hyped as we are about this release? We sure hope so. Stay tuned, because we will soon be releasing Qortal Go on iOS devices, as well as adding it for approval to download on the Play Store. We also have an intensive roadmap, with many big developments underway which will make the Qortal Trifecta even better!
The future of Qortal is bright, and we’re happy you’ll be joining us along the way. Finally, big shoutout to Phillip (named a-test on Qortal), for putting this user interface together by himself. Incredible feat! Of course, there were also many contributions by other members of the community, so thanks to all those involved as well!
Qortal Hub, Qortal Go and Qortal Extension are here! So what are you waiting for? Click that downloads link in the header right now! See you on Qortal!
