Minted.Vodka V2 is set to launch

Save the date. On 15th February at 8am Berlin time we will start migrating the new minted.vodka V2 currently located on https://v2.minted.vodka to the main domain https://minted.vodka. The old marketplace will still be accessible through another URL.

WARNING: Due to the nature of this migration, it is possible that neither version of the market will be accessible for 1–2 hours until the changes are done! Do not panic if the site does not load for some time.

What changes?

Clean, extensible interface

The UI and API have been completely re-designed to support the upcoming features, especially the multi-chain character of the platform and the new services that MintedVodka will provide (such as custom cocktails, staking, a whole set of different cross-chain minting modalities, cross-chain trades, etc).

Multi-chain support

MintedVodka is not bound to any specific chain any more. Initially it supports Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum and Polygon chains. New chains will be introduced within the next weeks and months.

NFT wallet

The new MintedVodka is actively tracking all NFT transfers across all the supported chains. This way, users will have a nice overview of all their non-fungible and semi-fungible assets across those network.

Bulk deals

Now any user can create their own bulk deals and mystery boxes, selling their assets sequentially or in a random order and with different pricing modalities (fixed price or incremental after each sale).

User-friendly bridge

To allow asset migration across the networks as easy and as transparent as possible, we have improved and simplified the new bridge interface.

Now, any asset in your wallet that can be bridged will have a button to move it to another chain in a matter of 2 clicks.

There is also a comprehensible bridge log that shows all completed and pending transfer requests for each connected user.

What is missing?

Old deals

The old deals have not been migrated. The new Marketplace is non-escrow (your assets stay in your wallet until the deal is accepted by someone), which is a completely different system and not so easy to migrate.

Cocktails

The cocktails (staking) have not been migrated, yet. As we are working on new staking system (where users will be able to create their own “cocktails”) it does not make sense porting the old one. It will not be used in the future.

Other languages

The new MintedVodka has multilingual support. However, no other language apart of English has been introduced, yet. The reason is that the new UI features are changing and expanding at a very high pace. This would require almost daily changes to the translations. To minimise the unnecessary workload, we decided to postpone the translations until the UI is in a more stable state. This will happen not sooner than the planned minting features.

What should you do?

Generally, no action is required from your part.

If you own a deal on the old MintedVodka, you might want to close it and create a new one on the new platform. The old deals will not appear in the search on the new platform.

If you still have GAT staked on one of the cocktails, you can still unstake them at any time by accessing the old cocktails through the legacy URL.

Lastly, if you see any issues with the UI or have any questions regarding the new marketplace, feel free to join our Discord. We are happy to help!
