March 2026​

Domain Migration & Documentation Overhaul​

  • Domain migration: Fiatsend has fully migrated from the legacy domain fiatsend.network to fiatsend.com. All URLs, API endpoints, and references now use the new domain. Old domain links redirect automatically but should be updated in any integrations.
  • Mobile money provider names updated: Vodafone Cash references have been updated to Telecel Cash across all documentation and in-app UI, reflecting Vodafone Ghana's rebrand to Telecel Ghana (originally completed March 2024).
  • Documentation overhaul: Complete rewrite of the Fiatsend developer and user documentation, covering platform overview, account management, security, smart contracts, API reference, and resources.

February 2026​

Enhanced KYC Flow & DAI Support​

  • Streamlined KYC verification: The in-app identity verification flow has been redesigned for faster completion. Users can now upload ID documents directly from their device camera with real-time quality checks, reducing rejection rates due to blurry or cropped images.
  • DAI stablecoin support: DAI has been added as a supported stablecoin on the platform. Users can now convert DAI to GHS and receive payouts to mobile money, alongside USDT, USDC, and USDC.e.
  • KYC status API: A new GET /api/users/kyc-status endpoint allows programmatic checking of KYC verification progress and tier. See API Overview.

January 2026​

FiatsendGatewayV2 Mainnet Deployment​

  • FiatsendGatewayV2 on Lisk Mainnet: The upgraded gateway contract has been deployed to Lisk Mainnet, replacing the V1 contract. V2 includes improved token management via the TokenManager library, decimal-aware calculations for multi-token support, and enhanced access control roles. See Smart Contracts Architecture.
  • UUPS upgrade mechanism: The contract now uses the UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard) pattern, enabling future upgrades without changing the contract address or disrupting user balances.
  • GHSFIAT token contract: The GHSFIAT stablecoin contract has been deployed alongside the gateway, enabling on-chain GHS-pegged settlement.

December 2025​

QR / Scan-to-Pay for Merchants​

  • Static and dynamic QR codes: Merchants can now generate QR codes for in-person and remote payments. Static QR codes are tied to the merchant's account (customer enters amount), while dynamic QR codes embed a specific amount and reference. See Use Cases for details.
  • Merchant onboarding flow: A guided onboarding flow for new merchants has been added to the FiatsendOne app, including business verification document upload, QR code generation, and payout setup.
  • Real-time payment notifications: Merchants receive instant push notifications when a QR payment is completed, with transaction details visible immediately in the app.

November 2025​

Bulk Disbursements & Webhook Improvements​

  • Bulk disbursement feature: Merchants and businesses can now process multiple payouts in a single batch via CSV upload or the API. The feature includes validation checks, summary previews, and approval workflows for organizations with Admin roles. See Managing Funds.
  • Webhook system improvements: The webhook delivery system has been rebuilt for reliability. Improvements include automatic retries with exponential backoff (up to 5 attempts), HMAC-SHA256 signature verification, and a webhook delivery log accessible from the developer settings page.
  • Transaction filtering and export: The transaction history view now supports filtering by date range, asset type, and status, with CSV export for accounting and reconciliation purposes.

October 2025 [Historical]​

Agent Network Launch​

  • Agent role and commissions: The Agent role has been introduced, allowing vetted individuals to facilitate cash-in and cash-out transactions for other users. Agents earn commissions on each transaction and can access day-end reconciliation reports.
  • Agent onboarding: A dedicated onboarding path for agents includes identity verification, training materials, and operational guidelines.

September 2025 [Historical]​

MobileNumber NFT & Tiered KYC​

  • MobileNumber NFT: The encrypted, non-transferable NFT identity system has been launched on Lisk Mainnet. Every new user receives a MobileNumber NFT at signup, serving as their identity pass on the Fiatsend network. See MobileNumber NFT.
  • Tiered KYC system: Three verification tiers (Level 0, Level 1, Level 2) have been implemented, with transaction limits scaling based on the completed verification level. See Fees & Limits.
