ShareRing Newsletter – June 2020 Edition
Welcome to the June ShareRing newsletter, where we provide updates on all things ShareRing.
Technology Update
Nodes Updated with the New ShareLedger v1.1 + New Features
On the 10th June, 15 nodes were updated with the new ShareLedger v1.1! We will also replay the transactions from SL v1.0 so we don’t lose any data. Lots of new features, including pooling, with commissions for the validators.
API Overview Documentation
ShareRing’s API Overview documentation has officially been updated! This is an important milestone for us, showcasing the rich functionality we’ve built into ShareLedger and our supporting ShareRing infrastructure.
Hard Fork Testing and ShareRing Swap API Improvements
This month we have successfully completed our ShareLedger hard fork testing. Also, ShareRing’s new ShareSwap API is working very well. Swaps will also generate a tx on ShareLedger!
The new @ShareRingGlobal ShareSwap API is working well. We did 2 big swaps for someone from BEP2 to ERC20 last night. We will push a bunch of smaller tx through again and try to break it before making it available. The cool thing is that each swap generates a tx on ShareLedger.

SHR/BUSD Trade Pair Proposal for Binance DEX
We’ve just added a proposal to add a BUSD/SHR pair to Binance DEX! Thanks to Binance for the suggestion and guiding us through the process.
Please comment and support ShareRing’s proposal on Binance DEX.
Exchange Update
Tim gives a quick update on ShareRing’s exchange plans. We are currently working with 2 exchanges to list SHR token, stay tuned for more information!
A lot of people have asked when we're going on a new exchange. So to out this to bed… We are accelerating this process and discussing some strong offers with a few great exchanges. We have some specific requirements in terms of API support, so it's taken some time to review.

Products Update
ShareRing Shop Soft Launch in Melbourne
Earlier this month we announced the soft launch of ShareRing Shop in Melbourne!
@ShareRingGlobal Shop is live! As this is a soft launch, we will continue to test, add products, adjust prices, tweak and test. Then we will add the option to pay with SharePay and release the ShareRing App. Thanks to everyone who has helped get us to this exciting point!!

SharePay and ShareRing App Integration
Since this tweet, the team has been very busy and have successfully implemented SharePay to the ShareRing Shop, as well as integrating the Shop to our flagship App. This integration means all ShareRing Shop transactions will run through the ShareLedger blockchain.
Soon users can travel and shop locally all from one app, advancing our vision of unifying the travel, sharing and e-commerce economies.
ShareRing Shop Now Supports the Thai Language & Currency
The ShareRing app now fully supports the Thai language and currency! Supporting the Thai language & currency is essential as we ramp up our operations in Thailand.
Supporting Art and Local Artists with ShareRing Shop
Earlier this month we released a teaser for an exciting addition to the ShareRing Shop, supporting art and promoting local artists.
Just approved the artwork for something fun and cool that we're adding to @ShareRingGlobal Shop.#supportingart #localartists #LimitedEdition pic.twitter.com/s0aXVDGrXH

ShareRing’s 3rd Birthday
June 25th marked ShareRing’s 3rd birthday! We’d like to thank all of our loyal community members, new and old, for supporting us through our journey of creating a unified ecosystem for the travel, sharing and on-demand economies.
3 years ago today, I was on holidays in Thailand, and the idea of @ShareRingGlobal cemented itself in my mind (like a smack in the face!). The seed was there for years, but @RohanLePage added some water a few weeks before my trip and helped it sprout. So proud to see it bloom! pic.twitter.com/u8ykLt0H78
