Feb 9, 2022 Version 3.10.0
New Features
Transfer Hotspot v2
A new way to transfer Hotspots is now available on the app. Now transferring Hotspots is as easy as sending a payment transaction. Hotspot sellers can initiate the transfer from Hotspot Settings, the same as before, but instead of waiting for the buyer to accept the transaction, the transfer is immediately submitted to the blockchain. Once cleared, the buyer will see the new Hotspot in their app. When the transfer is successful, both buyers and sellers will receive a notification.
Earnings Map Filter
Now available on the app, the earnings map filter introduced in Explorer in January can be found by tapping the Map Layers icon on a Hotspot details view. Other map filters include Transmit Scale, Witnessed Hotspots, and Coverage.
Hotspot Year to Date earnings
See how much your Hotspot has earned this year by going to a Hotspot and tapping **YTD**.
