Hive BP February 2022 Update
It’s been over a month since our last update and therefore, and therefore a lot has happened on NFTHive, which we focused on primarily, but not exclusively, this time.
Buy Offers have been improved with more options to manage your Buy Offer Balance. Top up your balance to cover all offers, withdraw your balance above the highest offer or anything in between.
We have also made it easier to create new Buy Offers by adding a Browser over the most popular templates.
We also added a CPU renting service that has already rented out more than 200k WAX in stake in the first week here: https://nfthive.io/cpu
One of the bigger updates is the overhaul of the collection page. You can now find everything around a collection on that page and the different tabs:
The most important addition here is the Buy Top NFTs section, where you can browse every single NFT (Template) of the collection and see the five cheapest listings on the market. This is the beginning of our new approach to collections focused navigation. We hope to guide users to different collections by adding them to different categories and then give them a better overview of their NFT catalog. Other than on the open market you will find the most important NFTs first, before you’re overwhelmed with a flood of Alien World Shovels and Farmers World Coins.
Speaking of categories, our second big update are Collection Categories:
Categories are meant to separate different kinds of WAX collections from each other so they can stand out better and can be discovered by interested people. At the moment all the Play 2 Earn games are rising to the top, so it’s difficult to discover art, collectibles, and even games with more gameplay like Hodlgod, The Forge Arena etc. This is why we have created our collection overview here: https://nfthive.io/collections
To further identify collections we have created tags, which can be something like scifi, sports, music, celebrities and more. Users can suggest categories and tags and everything is recorded on the blockchain here: https://wax.bloks.io/account/clltncattool
We’re very happy with the community feedback on this one and will continue to build it out. There will be a whole new UX Design on this section.
We haven’t update waxmarketcap.com with new features, but we have maintained it and fixed some bugs. Categories will play a role on waxmarketcap as well though, because different metrics are important to the different categories. P2E games are focus on daily volume, while all time sales might be more interesting for collectibles and marketcap (value) for art. We’re already experimenting with that on NFTHive in sorting the collections and it will become available on waxmarketcap.com
There have been a lot of code updates on our market template as well. Our new Frontend Developer has basically modernized the entire code base. Take a look at the commit history on this one: https://github.com/hivebp/wax-market-template/commits/main
On the tech side, we are now running 4 Hyperion Clusters on 4 very powerful servers. We’re getting tons of requests on Hyperion, our Atomics and API Servers. Apparently our atomic API is the main API for Farmersworld right now, so that’s fun. Luckily we’re adding redundancy here as well. A third Atomic Server is on its way.
