PaintSwap Two Years On
Hold onto your seats, folks, because the last year at PaintSwap has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride! Get ready to dive into a year of non-stop innovation, collaboration, and sheer excitement! https://paintswap.finance
The curtain lifted early in the year with the much-anticipated alpha testing release of v3 of our NFT marketplace. Yes, that’s right! We launched into our second year with guns blazing, setting the stage for a thrilling year of groundbreaking developments.
In the spirit of progress, we didn’t just stop there! Our new farms sprung to life, fully integrated with Spooky Swap LPs following the exciting DEX migration.
Adding a dash of ingenuity, we introduced NFT ranks! Every collection, unless opted out, now comes complete with a harmonic ranking — just another feather in PaintSwap’s innovative cap.
As if that wasn’t enough, we went ahead and implemented trait filtering. Now, you can sieve through each and every NFT collection based on their unique traits, streamlining your hunt for that perfect piece.
Wait, there’s more! BRUSH, our flagship token, debuted on its very first CEX, Felix, marking a significant milestone in our journey.
Mid-year brought with it our biggest update to date — the live launch of the v3 marketplace, transforming the way our users interact and transact. You can read more about the v3 upgrade here.
Around this time, we were thrilled to welcome Chronic to the core team, a beacon of community spirit, stepping up from moderator to a pivotal BD and community outreach role.
Our new stats interface was a game-changer, offering comprehensive insights into global and collection NFT volume through interactive charts. Amidst this flurry of activity, we took a moment to celebrate our marketplace’s first birthday — Happy Birthday, PaintSwap!
We redefined the user profile experience, introducing trader mode, improved URL sharing, and an activity tab with over 15 filtering options! This user-centric focus was reflected across the marketplace and each collection. These are just a few among a plethora of updates and upgrades that enriched our UI.
In a bid to revolutionize the NFT landscape, we rolled out P2P swapping, enabling our users to trade NFTs securely via smart contracts. To make things easier, we introduced bulk edit listings and bulk burns, catering to popular demand.
NFT liquidation took a leap forward with the ability to bulk liquidate your NFTs against any offers/bids/global offers, as long as the bids are within 25% of the collection floor price.
We also integrated Bubblemaps into PaintSwap for all collections, and collections can now generate postcard images with a choice of data ranges and charts!
Enter: The Great Rebrand! Along with a new homepage showcasing NFT collections and a fabulous new logo, we launched v3.1 of the marketplace. This included features like rarity sorting for listings, list view, user ranks, filter listings by price, and the ability to donate a percentage of a sale to a charity or different address.
Out with the old, in with the new! We bid farewell to the left-side menu, greeting a bespoke right-side navigation menu. Plus, added zooming for NFT charts and more collection sorting options.
In collaboration with the Fantom Foundation, we held our first-ever PaintSwap live event, the PaintSwap Artists Summit — a true testament to our growing community!
Then came the launch of v3.2 of the marketplace, introducing the fNFT marketplace and tracking all collections by default.
But hang on, the excitement isn’t over yet! We were thrilled to announce ‘Estfor Kingdom’, a medieval fantasy idle browser-based RPG game. This play-to-earn game is sure to dazzle gamers and fantasy enthusiasts alike, creating a whole new avenue for engagement on the Fantom network.
Keeping you updated and in the loop, we released email notifications for offers received or accepted, bids received or outbid, auctions won, unsold NFTs and P2P swaps. Every notification you need, directly to your inbox!
To keep the anticipation soaring, we dropped a sneak peek of the captivating Estfor Kingdom. The response was overwhelming, sparking intrigue and excitement within our dynamic community.
And the saga of innovation continued with the introduction of the Equalizer to the fNFT marketplace, making PaintSwap more robust and user-friendly.
The crowning glory of our year came as Estfor Kingdom clinched 1st place in the first-ever Fantom Hackathon! A moment of triumph that underscored our relentless dedication to pioneering in the blockchain gaming space.
Without losing momentum, we released the Alpha version of Estfor Kingdom, offering our community the first hands-on experience of this much-anticipated game.
To round off a phenomenal year, we thrilled to announce the Beta version of Estfor Kingdom, another step closer to the full-fledged launch of this engaging P2E game. https://beta.estfor.com
So here we are, at the close of a year that has been nothing short of extraordinary. Our journey over the past year has been exhilarating, to say the least, and we owe this to our incredible community. The developments, the additions, the triumphs — they have all been possible because of your unwavering support and engagement.
As we look back, we do so with a sense of pride and accomplishment. But more than that, we look forward to the future with excitement and anticipation, ready to continue our journey of innovation and community-building in the world of NFTs. So here’s to you, and here’s to the future keep painting!
