🛒 NFT.io

What is NFT.io?

NFT.io is the next marketplace for all NFTs, with an awesome branded domain. NFT.io includes all of the basic functionalities found in any NFT-related marketplace, as well as the ability to work with Efinity in the future. It not only has great features, but it also has an easy and friendly user interface and user experience.

The NFT.io development team has been working hard on a few improvements focused on the user interface of the website, as well as preparing for Beam support on NFT.io! 😄

• User Interface
  • The website's front-end has been migrated to TypeScript as a natural improvement from the previous JavaScript front-end coding due to many improvements on the developer experience side.
  • A new notification settings page has been added to improve the user experience.

• A new search results page has been added to improve user experience.

• Beam
  • The team is currently working on adding Beam support for NFT.io, which will allow users to quickly create their own Beams on Efinity!

📱Enjin Wallet 2.0

What is the Enjin Wallet?

The Enjin Wallet application (available for Android and iOS following in the next few weeks) is the next-generation crypto and NFT mobile app that enables you to store, send and melt your NFTs, in addition to using the Enjin Wallet as any portfolio application.

• Maintenance & Quality of Life
  • Based on extensive feedback from our community and adopters, the Enjin Wallet 2.0 development team is currently working on stability fixes for the Android version of the Enjin Wallet 2.0 to ensure we can provide the best blockchain wallet experience ever.

➡️ Up next: Polygon & Binance Smart Chain NFT Support, as well as wrapping up the development of the iOS version of the wallet; stay tuned for more! 👀

🛠️ Enjin Tooling

This section is broken down into 3 categories:

• The Enjin Platform (a.k.a the Open Platform API)
• Enjin SDKs
• Enjin Beam

📖 The Enjin Platform

What is the Open Platform?

Open Platform is a package that enables developers to implement blockchain integration more quickly. With it, game developers can perform blockchain actions without having to worry about encoding or signing transactions, or understanding specific blockchain technical details.

• Maintenance & Quality of Life
  • This week, we focused on platform maintenance and performance updates, as well as fixes and tweaks to support the new deployment for the Beam campaign, which supported the Wallet 2.0 release.

💻 Enjin SDKs

What is an SDK?

A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of software tools and programs provided by hardware and software vendors that developers and game devs can use to build applications for specific platforms. Enjin makes our SDKs available for developers to easily integrate into their apps and games.

• SDKs
  • The Enjin SDK team has begun work on the Open Platform C# SDK, which will be the first SDK to fully support the Open Platform, allowing developers to easily integrate their games with Efinity and fully experience all of the Open Platform's core features!

💻 Beam

What is Enjin Beam?

Beam is a first-of-its-kind QR-powered blockchain asset distribution service.

With Beam, you can tailor the rewards you send to suit your target audience and marketing objectives, such as gaming assets, branded collectibles, gift cards, discount codes, early access, and more.

Beam QR codes can be published via any visually accessible medium—from social media networks, websites, ads, and videos to flyers and presentations, and within apps or games.

• Beam Update
  • The Enjin Platform development team has focused on updating Efinity Beam to support the increased demand from the Wallet 2.0 update, as well as monitoring the current status of the NFT claiming process in order to improve it based on its requirements.
