During the last few months, our dev teams have been focusing their efforts on the development of the web/desktop and mobile versions of the Essentia Framework.
Countless hours and sleepless nights were spent to develop a product that will be both helpful and convenient to use. This will not only change the way we interact with technology but also how we manage the data we generate in our everyday lives.
These months have been an exciting journey where we had the opportunity to see our amazingly skilled development team outdo themselves and bring into existence the first of many versions of the Essentia Framework. They have been working tirelessly on adding new features, making the user experience more efficient, and natively integrating more and more features into the project. Essentia Web has received a complete makeover and our hats go off to the designer team for the stunning new layout — both of the application and our website!
At long last, the time to unveil the new framework has arrived and have made our new web application (Essentia Web) available for download!
Essentia Web can be run on macOS, Ubuntu (Linux), and Windows (with the exception of Windows Home edition).
Recommended system requirements:
Windows: 8 GB RAM, 4 GB+ of free disk space, Intel VT or AMD-V enabled CPU, with BIOS Virtualization Technology switch on;
macOS: 8 GB RAM, 6 GB+ of free disk space, Intel VT or AMD-V enabled CPU, with BIOS Virtualization Technology switch on;
Ubuntu (Linux): 8 GB RAM, 4 GB+ of free disk space, Intel VT or AMD-V enabled CPU, with BIOS Virtualization Technology switch on.
Note: Essentia Web is still in its beta phase. While the features are functional, we advise our users to hold off on trading large sums until a definitive version is released.
All said, let’s jump straight into the overview of all the implemented features.
Our users’ comfort and convenience has always been of a top priority to us — for that reason, we have made the registration process simpler, more straightforward, and absolutely intuitive. Logging into Essentia Web will only take a few clicks.
You can login with an existing account or create a brand new one.
Launchpad
At the top of the page, you will find a Recently Used dApps panel, which is a great way to quickly navigate the framework.
Wallet
Essentia Web users have full access to the Essentia wallet — with all the exciting functionalities (i.e. sending and receiving assets, exchange of currencies using Flypme and Bitfinex, review of transaction history, addition/removal of assets from normal wallets to the Essentia Superwallet, a creation of offline transactions, etc…).
Exchanges
From the convenience of Essentia Web, you can already trade on exchanges that have been natively integrated into the framework such as IDEX and ForkDelta.
Among the functionalities that existed in the Demo app (i.e. currency exchange, viewing balances, checking order history etc…), we have added the possibility to add multiple accounts/wallets and to easily switch between them. Test this function out while using IDEX — it’s super useful!
Settings
Don’t forget to take a closer look at the settings! It’s here that you will be given the various options to secure your account (by backing up your seed, mnemonic phrase, and keystore file). Security is another one of our key priorities and you’ll be able to gauge how secure your account is.
Additionally, you will be able to change your default fiat currency display. You can choose between US dollars, Euros, Korean wons and Chinese yuans.
Switching between different Essentia accounts has never been easier with Essentia Web.
As always, you can find a support form in the Settings menu that will allow you to contact the Essentia Team directly, in case of suggestions or feedback.
More and more exciting new features are being developed for the framework (i.e. integration of storage and the dAppstore) and will be released when they are ready, so stay tuned!
Essentia Web is a step towards the fully functional desktop application that will soon be released. We’ve also got mobile versions of the Essentia Framework being prepared! If you’re curious how the mobile applications will look like, check out our little sneak peek at the designs!
We’d also like to share the news that Essentia will be conducting a bug hunting campaign! More details on the campaign will be released shortly.
We highly value feedback from our community — feel free to reach out to us directly via the Support Form or on any of our social media channels!
