Introducing Solana Chain

We have introduced the option to make payments with the Solana chain. To pay for the Spheron plan with Solana chain, you will need to connect the Phantom wallet to our app on the Billing page. Right now, we only support payment of Solana Native Token. We will add more tokens in the future. Payments via Solana do not require users to give allowance or deposit to a contract. Instead, we transfer directly from your wallet to Spheron Cold wallets. If you lost your fund for some technical reason and transferred funds you don't intend to, you can reach out to Spheron Team for quick resolutions.

Introducing Avalanche Chain

We have introduced the Avalanche Chain for subscription payments and have allowed four tokens - USDT, USDC, DAI, and WAVAX - on the chain. To upgrade to the PRO plan, users can connect their MetaMask wallet and select the Avalanche Chain option to upgrade to the subscription plan and purchase bonuses.

Introducing Sui Node in the Marketplace

We have added the Sui Devnet node in the compute marketplace. You can now spin up a Sui Devnet node with Spheron compute infrastructure at a cost-effective plan. Sui is the first permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up to enable creators and developers to build experiences that cater to the next billion users in web3. With Spheron compute, you can spin up your Sui Devnet node in the decentralized cloud within minutes. We want you to experience the difference. This is the platform where you can finally say goodbye to centralized servers and the fear of losing everything within minutes.

We offer you another option to spin your nodes and scale with minimal technical knowledge. We make it easy for you to monitor your nodes and notify you when they are down. We dedicate a private instance and an IP to your Sui Devnet node, improving its security and performance.

Ready to spin your next Sui Devnet node? See how you can spin and manage your Sui Devnet node on dCloud in seconds with Spheron powered by Akash Network. You can access the best of both worlds, cloud and dedicated decentralized servers.

Password Protected Deployments

We have added a password protection option for deployments and domains on Spheron.

When accessing the content on IPFS or Arweave, it will be fully encrypted and unreadable to anyone without the correct secret. However, when accessing the content through your domains and subdomains, including the spheron domain provided by default, the platform will decrypt the content for you upon entering the correct secret. This feature allows you to secure your deployments with a password and encryption, ensuring that only you and those you trust can access the content.

Once enabled for your organization, this feature can be applied to any of your projects by redeploying. If you have any questions or need assistance getting started with this feature, please let us know, and we will be happy to help.

Intercom Integration

Our team has integrated the Intercom chatbot into the Spheron app to provide a quick and easy way for you to get in touch with us. You will also be able to check out guides and articles personalized by our automated chatbot. If you have any questions or need assistance, send us a message through the app, and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Improvements

• Project environment variables: When starting a new deployment, any new specified environment variables that do not already exist will be added to the project settings.

• Commit and PR comments: From now on, comments on your repository PRs and commits will include a list of the domains that were updated by the deployment.
