Supporting creators and powering your account should be simple, even if you are brand new to crypto. 4.4.0 makes that real.
You can now top up your Ecency Points with a credit or debit card through a secure Stripe checkout. No exchange, no wallet setup, no crypto knowledge required. Points let you boost posts, promote, and more across Ecency.
Checkout now supports device wallets, so you can buy Points in a single tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
A tip button now appears on comments, on feed cards, and in decks. Showing appreciation for a great post or comment is now one click away, wherever you happen to be.
Hive actions use Resource Credits (RC), and running low can quietly block your post. Ecency now checks your RC before you publish, and if you are low, it guides you to top up so your post actually goes through. No more silent failures.
You can now upgrade to a premium account directly with a card on the web. Clearer purchase steps and a dedicated QR option round out a much smoother buying experience.
Together these changes lower the barrier for new users and make it easier for everyone to support the creators they value.
