• Users can now make use of the search button at the top left of the platform to search for specific NFTs or projects and interact with the search result.

• Minor bug fixes: After phase 1, we had to reassess the performance of the marketplace, taking into consideration certain complaints in order to fix minor bugs found.

• Load optimisation to fasten profile data has been fixed and you can access NFTs on any given profile at smoother and faster pace

Other Developments to follow in phase 2;

• AFEN will become acceptable as a transaction token on the marketplace in the next phase of development.

• Collection Feature: Users will be able to mint NFTs through their own smart contracts. The choice will therefore be to either mint through personalized smart contracts or the general contract available at the moment. The development of this feature has been completed and will be deployed in the coming days.
