According to founder Jeremy Welch, the team has "been pushing out a lot of code...we know that people are going to get really engaged...We’ve got a lot more coming out this year. It’s just the beginning for 2019. The main thing right now if you’re using a Casa Node and your going … to any of these other [crypto] sites, you’re basically having to open a second browser tab to open the main Casa dashboard and enter in all the [payment] information somewhat manually".

Casa's new browser extension will avoid these issues by offering direct one-click, in-browser functionality. It is initially available for the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
