1.1.10 - Payment UX Improvements and Faster Boosts

If you like to boost, hopefully you should enjoy our latest update.

Payment UX Improvements

We have updated the modals for all payment functionality across the app. Next time you boost, stream, zap, deposit or withdraw, you will notice that a few changes.

We now display both sats and USD values when making a payment. When choosing a custom amount, you can enter a value in either sats or USD. When making a payment, we have also added toast notifications to confirm that your payment was successful.

The best thing about $100k Bitcoin is it’s much easier to working out how much things cost because 1000 sats equals $1. The price won’t stay the same for long, but when it does you will be grateful for this update.

We will be adding support for more currencies in 2025 and we are currently working on reducing friction for listeners who want to deposit and withdraw using their preferred currency. Stay tuned!

Faster Boosts

Previously, you sometimes had to wait five seconds or longer for your boost to be sent. This was not a good experience. We’ve done some work to make boosts approximately 50% faster - so you should notice the difference.

There are a few other updates to boosts too. As well as being able to see the dollar value of the sats you are sending, you can now toggle between sending a boost or a comment. We have made a couple of design improvements to the boost modals too.

Finally, you can now boost any podcast or artist on Fountain from your web browser. Just log in and pay using your Fountain wallet.
