Welcome, let's go for the latest news!

Users are now able to support a project with ETH or STAR — In order to provide extra liquidity for large projects, we will allow project owners to offer ETH as a payment method on token sales — as long as the first token sale is only in STAR.

  • Easy and transparent way to choose between ETH and STAR during the purchase;
  • Metamask integration’s upgrade to handle ETH balance from user address, make a transaction and receive the callback from user approval or rejection;
  • Project details page upgrade now shows the amount raised in STAR and ETH;
  • Market cap progress bar updated;
  • User Dashboard updated allows the user to see the purchases made with ETH and STAR;
  • The instructions on the purchase modal were changed in order to better inform the user about the current step of the purchase and if any action is required from the user to proceed.

New Smart contract audit to accept ETH on a token sale — In order to accept ETH as a payment method, the Smart Contract was edited. Therefore a new Smart contract audit was needed and is already in progress.

New KYC provider — For the current sprint, we are working to integrate the platform with a new KYC provider that will bring Starbase users a safe and comfortable environment provided by a great UX.

Banking Partner — We are still actively seeking and meeting with various regulated banking partners in order to obtain a bank account to consolidate our ICO funds into USD and to provide the community with a full accounting statement of funds, as we realize this is a priority for current Star holders. An update regarding this endeavor will be posted as soon as we make progress or have more information to share.
