Matchpool is now on the mainnet! New Chat & iOS app in development Matchpool launches version 2.2 of the alpha on the Ethereum mainnet, with new and improved Discussion renamed as Chat + Matchpool iOS app in development, first look at the new design.
What you need to know about $GUP and how it can be used inside the Matchpool app:
Up until now, Matchpool has been running on the Ropsten network, one of Ethereums testnets. All transactions of XGUP have been used to test how the $GUP utility tokens would be transacted before using real $GUP inside our app and moving on to the Ethereum main-network.
Starting today, XGUP is being replaced with $GUP on the mainnet.
What can I do with $GUP?
Using MetaMask, you can load up your $GUP wallet and use $GUP to create or join a community on Matchpool. Set an entrance fee in $GUP for your own pool, or choose to pay $GUP to enter someone elses pool.
PPM (Pay-per-match) and other use cases for the token will be implemented in the upcoming releases of our app. The pool owner, of course, can still completely keep his pool free of charge if he decides to.
You will need some ETH to transact Guppies, as most of you already know. A handy tool that allows you to calculate transaction costs and estimate an optimal gas price for your transaction is ETH Gas Station.
