Hello, fellow members, and welcome to my journey.

A bit about me:
I’ve been part of this community for over 10 years. For the first half, I was super active. This forum, BHW, changed my life. The people I met here, the ideas I picked up, they helped me build my early success online.
Back then, I started Levopanel. Some of you might remember it (and me!). But life happened—ups, downs, twists, and turns—and I stepped away for a while. Now, I’m back, ready for a fresh start.

What’s this journey about?
For the past two years, me and two close friends (software engineers) have been pouring our hearts into something new: a Rental SMM Panel called ProPanel.
Sleepless nights, endless hustle, and a fire to make it work—that’s been our story. This isn’t just about business. It’s a comeback. The kind you see in movies where someone gets knocked down but fights their way back up.

Why am I sharing this?
Three simple reasons:
  • I want to learn from all of you—smart people with great ideas. Got tips or advice? Please share!
  • I hope my story pushes someone else to chase their own comeback, start something new, or just take a chance.
  • I want to show what it’s really like—building a business from zero in a tough market, step by step, all the way to the top.

The big dream:
To make ProPanel the go-to Rental SMM Platform for anyone starting their own SMM business.

A clear goal:
Get 1,000 active panels/clients using our platform.

What's happening now (short-term):
  • Tech stuff: We’ve got 4 payment options (Coinbase, Coinpayments, Payeer, Stripe). Next week, we’re aiming to add 5 more.
  • Testing: We’re inviting free beta users to try ProPanel and tell us what they think. (Already started here on BHW and elsewhere.)
  • Small target: By the end of April 2025, we want 20 beta users on board.

The bigger plan (long-term);
  • Launch a marketplace thread here on BHW.
  • Team up with some of you amazing BHW members for partnerships.

Where we're at:
ProPanel is live in beta mode. We’ve got 3 testers already helping us out with feedback. Every day, we’re tweaking things, fixing bugs, and making it better for users. It’s a slow climb, but we’re moving.


What's next?
I’ll update this journey every week (at least!). I’d love to hear from you—your thoughts, your stories, anything you want to share. Let’s make this a real conversation.

Sounds good, I sent you a DM ;)
 
Incredible journey—scaling to 1000 clients with a rental SMM platform is truly inspiring!
 
Short update
We've created a new section in Settings (Admin area) called "Modules."
This will allow the admin to enable/disable the "Subpanels" feature and set the price.

We had a good weekend with 4 new beta testers joining.

Still working on the payment processor implementation.

Question to anyone following: Which paymeny processor are being used the most in SMM panels?
 
Update
We have added the new methods. The new methods added are: FreeKassa, PayU, Cryptomus, Heleket, PayTM and Paypal Express Checkout.
Our beta testers are doing a great job with giving us feedback.
 
Monday Update
Implemented two new paymnet integrations: Xendit.co (with which you can accept payments from 100+ payment providers in 5 currencies) & Binance Pay
Deployed some overall improvements and bug fixes.

Whats next:
We are working on some really cool features to add on our ProEditor (the visual editor tool to build the landing page of the panel)
We are planning to use these new cool features to make themes that are better and more modern for our users.

Can't wait to share these with you ;)
 
Helly BHW wanted to give you a sneak peek at the themes we’ll be having on Propanel. Check out the video below to see how powerful the ProBuilder visual editor is. Have a look:

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on this. As a tester, I've been really impressed with how easy it is to manage clients on this platform. I had a particularly hectic week with a bunch of new clients, and this thing kept me organized. The reporting is pretty useful too; I could easily track everything. A few minor bugs popped up, but nothing major. Overall, it's a solid platform.
 
Your ProPanel project sounds very promising! What feedback or feature tweaks are most important to you in your current testing phase? Looking forward to your reply!

Kudos to you for being super helpful with our product's testing and giving feedback.

Any feedback we can get to improve both user experience and admin experience. We are looking for people with experience with SMM Panels who know what they are doing :)
 
Hello, hello!

Some cool updates:

  • Modern Theme: A sleek new design with animations and updated sections for a smoother interface.
  • Multi-Currency Support: Enable up to 38 currencies for easier transactions in your preferred currency.
  • ProBuilder Animations: Turn on animations in ProBuilder to customize your panel’s look.
  • Search in Orders: Find services with a new search function when placing orders.

We have also been working a lot on making the platform more stable and fixing bugs.
All thanks to our amazing beta clients (mostly found through BHW) :)

Whats next
We want to make the platform stable enough and switch from Beta to actual Release.
Our aim is for this month, to be confident enough and submit our BlackHatWorld Marketplace thread.
