Ultra attends NFT Paris!

NFT Paris was an opportunity to catch up with some of our partners but also spread the word about what we’re building this year at Ultra. We were lucky enough to also share panels with Animoca and Sandbox, two of the biggest names in the web3 gaming industry.

We recently held a space where we went deep into our 2024 roadmap but also talked about some of the highlights of NFT Paris. You can listen back to it here.

Project Citadel Intel Session #2!

We held our second Intel Session Space with the Co-Founder and Product Director of Project Citadel. This month’s session focused on the game loop as well as the journey through Citadel.

You can catch the recording of the Space here!

Development Updates

Multi-client support for Ultra accounts!

Recognizing the diverse preferences of our users, we acknowledge the importance of a seamless transition between different devices and applications. We’re dedicated to refining this experience, ensuring that users can effortlessly utilize the Ultra extension on their preferred DApps while moving across the Ultra Client and Wallet Extension.

In response to user feedback, we’re diligently working on minimizing sync instances that occur when transitioning between the Ultra Client, Wallet Extension, and various devices. This enhancement is currently undergoing final testing and is slated for release to users in the near future.

New factory pages!

We’ve introduced significant changes to the way users interact with token factories on the Marketplace Launchpad. Now, when users explore a token factory, it opens up as a full page, providing a more immersive and detailed view compared to the previous compact token card format. Here’s an example of the improved factory page: Ultra Marketplace — Uniq Factory.

We’ve also introduced a new feature where users can view second-hand offers for the Uniqs directly on the factory page. This eliminates the need to navigate back to the main marketplace screen, offering a cleaner browsing experience.

We’re aware of a couple of known issues — the loss of line breaks in descriptions within the factory pages and the absence of the main image on the page. These issues are already on our radar, and improvements are in the pipeline.

Electron Client v 1.0 deployed!

We have successfully deployed v1.0 of the Electron client which is still currently in open beta. We’ve been actively listening to user feedback, and this release addresses several issues reported during the beta phase, ensuring a smoother and more refined experience for Electron client users.
