May has been a highly fruitful month for Kontos, marked by significant achievements both externally and internally. We’ve received positive feedback across various fronts. This month, we launched the Kontos Energy Orbs Challenge, which saw enthusiastic participation from numerous users. We also celebrated reaching 100,000 followers on Twitter with a special event, engaging with our growing community.

We’ve also launched the “Share Your Kontos Story to Win Exclusive Energy Orbs OAT” event on Galxe.

On the product side, we’ve continued to roll out updates, enhancing user experience and expanding our offerings. Additionally, we’ve announced strategic partnerships with key industry players, further solidifying our position in the market. The combined efforts and successes of May have set a strong foundation for even greater achievements in the months to come.

Product Updates

This month, we continue to refine our product, focusing on details and enhancing various features. These updates provide a more seamless, flexible, and efficient experience within the Kontos ecosystem.

Swap Feature

This feature allows you to effortlessly exchange one asset for another within the same network, with DEX-like experience, but with added flexibility in handling gas fees, which allows you to use any asset across chains to cover gas fees. Also, for the first swap, it can create the AA account automatically if you don’t own AA on that chain before.

Sync Feature

The Sync function keeps your account balance up-to-date, allowing you to sync and initiate a new task if previous tasks are canceled, and clearing discrepancies such as insufficient balance notifications.

Additionally, we’ve optimized our algorithm to drastically reduce proof verification costs for payments, especially on the Ethereum mainnet.
