v2.3.0NEWApril 2026

Feed Intelligence & Smart Matching

The biggest upgrade to the Aikon feed since launch. Your feed now learns from you — surfacing the most relevant offers based on what you trade, where you operate, and who you engage with.

Personalised feed ranking

Offers are ranked using a multi-signal algorithm weighing recency, your category activity, stock location proximity, and engagement patterns. Traders in Dubai see more UAE and GCC stock. The more you use Aikon, the sharper your feed gets.

Discovery injection

Every feed session includes a curated slice of offers from categories you haven't explored yet — useful when markets shift and opportunities appear in adjacent segments.

Location boost

Offers with stock in your country or region are ranked higher by default. You can adjust your preferred sourcing regions from your profile at any time.

Seller quality signals

Active, consistent companies with a strong posting history receive a quality multiplier in feed ranking. New companies are surfaced through the discovery layer so they're never buried.

v2.2.0NEWMarch 2026

Web Platform Launch

Aikon is now available on the web at web.aikon.app. The full trading experience — feed, offers, messaging, and company profiles — is now accessible from any browser, on any device.

Full feature parity

Browse the live feed, post buying and selling offers, manage your company profile, and message counterparties — all from your desktop browser. No functionality is locked to mobile.

Seamless account sync

Your account, offers, and message history sync instantly across mobile and web. Start a conversation on your phone and continue it on your laptop without missing a beat.

Keyboard-first experience

The web interface is optimised for power users. A wide-screen feed layout makes high-volume browsing significantly faster than on mobile.

v2.1.0February 2026

Company Size Filtering & Profile Upgrades

Traders can now filter the feed and search results by company revenue band — ensuring you only see counterparties that match the scale of your operation.

Revenue band filter

Filter offers by the posting company's self-declared annual revenue: Under $10M, $10M–$25M, $26M–$75M, $75M–$350M, or Over $350M. Stack this with category and location filters for precision sourcing.

Enhanced company profiles

Company profiles now display active offer count, categories traded, stock locations, and revenue band indicator. Assess a counterparty's fit before sending a single message.

Profile completion nudge

Accounts with incomplete profiles now see a persistent prompt highlighting what's missing. Complete profiles rank higher in search results and receive more inbound contact.

v2.0.0NEWJanuary 2026

Anonymous Posting & Private Offers

The most-requested feature since launch. Post buying and selling offers completely anonymously — your company identity is hidden from the feed while your offer reaches the entire network.

Private offer mode

Toggle "Private" when creating an offer to hide your company identity from everyone. Only your stock location remains visible — enough for counterparties to evaluate logistics without knowing who you are.

Selective identity reveal

During any in-app conversation, choose to reveal your company identity to that specific person. The reveal is one-way and per-conversation — you stay anonymous to everyone else.

In-app only contact for private posts

To protect identity, anonymous posters can only be contacted via in-app messaging. WhatsApp and email contact options are hidden until you choose to reveal yourself.

v1.5.0December 2025

In-App Messaging

Connect with counterparties without leaving Aikon. The new in-app messaging system lets you open a conversation directly from any offer in the feed.

Offer-linked conversations

Every conversation is anchored to the offer that started it. The offer details appear at the top of the chat thread so context is never lost, even weeks later.

Unified inbox

All your conversations — across buying and selling offers, public and private — are accessible from a single inbox. Unread indicators keep you on top of new activity.

Push notifications

Get notified the moment a counterparty replies. Notification preferences can be managed from your profile settings.

v1.4.0November 2025

Feed Filters & Category Browsing

The feed is now filterable. Slice the live offer stream by category, offer type, and stock location to surface exactly what you're looking for.

Category filter

Filter the feed by New Phones, Used Phones, Accessories, Laptops, Gaming Consoles, or Others. Filters are persistent within a session so you don't lose your view when you return to the feed.

Buy / Sell toggle

Switch instantly between buying and selling offers. Combined with the category filter, you can scope the feed precisely to your current sourcing or selling needs.

Stock location filter

Filter offers by country of stock. Select one or multiple locations. The filter uses the structured stock location field — not free-text — so results are accurate.

v1.3.0October 2025

Company Profiles & Posting History

Every company on Aikon now has a full profile page — a dedicated feed of all their active offers alongside their contact details and trading information.

Company profile page

Tap any company name in the feed to visit their profile. See all their active buying and selling offers in one place, their stock locations, revenue band, and contact options — a company storefront within Aikon.

WhatsApp & email contact

For public profiles, WhatsApp and email buttons appear directly on the company page — one tap to open a conversation. Contact details are pulled from the profile, so traders never need to paste them into offer descriptions.

Offer history

A company's recent posting history is visible on their profile, giving you a sense of how active they are and what they typically trade before you reach out.

v1.2.0September 2025

Stock Location & Country Flags

Stock location is now a first-class field on every offer, displayed with a country flag — no more hunting through descriptions to find where inventory is sitting.

Structured stock location

Select a country or city as the stock location when creating an offer. This powers filtering, feed ranking, and the location display on each card — and is always shown on private posts regardless of anonymity settings.

Country flag display

Each offer card in the feed now shows the stock country's flag. At a glance, traders can see where inventory is positioned across Dubai, Hong Kong, Miami, Singapore, and beyond.

v1.1.0August 2025

Performance & Stability

Under-the-hood improvements to feed loading, image performance, and overall app stability based on early user feedback.

Faster feed loading

Feed content now loads progressively from cache while refreshing in the background. The feed feels instant on reopen, even on slower connections.

Improved onboarding

The account creation flow is shorter and clearer. New users reach the live feed in under 60 seconds from app open.

Bug fixes

Fixed offer descriptions with special characters displaying incorrectly. Resolved a layout issue on Android with larger font sizes. Various stability improvements across iOS and Android.

v1.0.0LAUNCHJuly 2025

Initial Release

Aikon launches on iOS and Android — the first platform built specifically for wholesale electronics traders to post, discover, and connect on buying and selling offers.

Live trading feed

A real-time feed of buying and selling offers from wholesale electronics traders worldwide. New posts appear instantly. Scroll, browse, and discover deals across phones, laptops, accessories, gaming consoles, and more.

Post buying & selling offers

Create an offer in seconds. Set a title, pick a category, mark it buying or selling, choose your stock location, and write a free-form description — just like posting in a WhatsApp group, but discoverable.

Company accounts

Aikon is for registered businesses only. Create a company account with your trading name, contact details, and self-declared revenue band. Every offer on the platform is posted by a real company.

WhatsApp integration

Tap the WhatsApp button on any public offer to contact the seller or buyer directly — no copy-pasting numbers. Contact details live in the company profile, not the offer description.

Six categories

New Phones, Used Phones, Accessories, Laptops, Gaming Consoles, and Others — covering the full range of wholesale consumer electronics from flagship handsets to accessories and beyond.
