80eight Platform (API) — v2.0.15
A rebuilt, more secure 80eight platform — the foundation for everything new.
This release is the production cut-over to our re-engineered v2 platform: stronger account security, broader compliance and identity verification, more ways to hold and earn, and a hardened, more reliable foundation under the whole 80eight experience.
What's new
- Stronger account security. Sign-in now uses secure, browser-protected sessions with built-in protection against cross-site request forgery — a meaningful step up in how your account and your money are protected.
- More reliable identity verification. We added a second verification provider and consolidated how identity checks work, so getting verified is faster and more dependable.
- Compliance, built in. Expanded regulatory and travel-rule tooling so transfers stay compliant as 80eight grows.
- More to hold and earn. New assets, a refreshed asset experience, and the ZAR8 yield programme.
- Faster wallet and trading. More reliable wallet, trading, and transaction experiences, with more accurate balances and pricing.
Stronger safeguards & security
- Account protection throughout. Strengthened authentication, two-factor protection, and account-access controls across the platform, with sensitive and money-moving actions protected by additional verification.
- Hardened money movement. Strengthened payments and account data across the board, including safeguards that help prevent duplicate or mistaken transactions.
- A modern foundation. Re-engineered on a modern, fully-typed platform with expanded automated testing, new and more reliable hosting, and a hardened release pipeline.
Coming soon
- New ways to pay. We're putting the finishing touches on major new ways to pay people and businesses, rolling out gradually. (Not switched on yet — watch this space.)
