Hello everyone, it’s time for a MAD update!

We had a fantastic Twitter Spaces on Thursday with both our Founder Skin and JP talking to the community and engaging in some great topics of conversation. Namely our push towards the new upgraded platform and some emotional reflecting on the progress we’ve made in the last year. They will be joining us on Thursdays spaces on a bi-weekly basis, so make sure to come along at 5pm UTC!

With the additional developers we’ve taken on we are still targeting the May 31st deadline for the new react platform and you will be kept up to date if that date changes at any point.

In the background we are upgrading our Academy videos as well as creating a new launch page for the Academy that shows your progression and tracks the videos you’ve watched up to.

We are constantly working to create new content that will support you and the crypto community and this includes our DAO tools. You can now sign up to the MADNFT platform as a DAO if you are one. When doing this, creators will have the option to delegate a percentage of their NFT sales to your DAO. If you’re a creative based DAO then this will give you a better path towards self sustainability. We will be creating new tools and videos (Consulting with the Harmony DAO operations team) for you to use in the future to further improve your paths towards self sustainability and assist your community.

On a final note, we’ve just confirmed our new Verified Artist!
Since our launch on Harmony, creator ToonCatsLab has embodied what it means to Make A Difference and has effectively engaged with all the tips we give in our Academy so we want to congratulate him on his new Verified position!

You can reach Verified Creator status too! Follow our simple Academy Guide and you can reach Verified with some consistency. One of the biggest factors is engagement with your work, through purchasing or liking. If you want to give your work and account a boost, or would like to help boost another creator, then bring your friends along to the platform to dish out some likes on your NFTs or the NFTs of a creator you love.

The rewards for reaching Verified Artist are:

Promotional post
Higher feature on our tables
Higher prominence on the Creators page
Your artwork featured in our VR Gallery
New rewards coming soon

That’s all for this week MAD Fam, keep up the great engagement and if you have any questions then feel free to ask them on our Twitter spaces Tuesdays & Thursdays at 5pm UTC.

This week we are reshooting our Academy videos as well as some new ones. As our knowledge of NFT has grown over the last few months, we want to make sure that you are also receiving all up to date information. So we’ve revamped our videos to make sure they’re up to date with the latest market so that you can stay ahead of the game. As always any suggestions for future video topics will always be welcomed. If you have any ideas then please send them over to info@madnfts.io .

We’re still extremely excited to bring you our new and improved platform which will make your NFT buying and selling experience even better while still retaining a premium viewing experience.

What’s up MAD Fam, It’s time for another Update!

We are still on our push for the new platform launch and have extended our update to bring you even more features than planned!

Our devs have been working hard to build a new Harmony NFT viewer within the MADNFT platform so you can view all your Harmony ONE NFTs in one place. Connecting your metamask wallet will allow you to see your NFTs that you’ve purchased/minted anywhere on Harmony using the 1155 and 721 standards.

We’ve produced a new showcase video to give you a look at all the new features we’re bringing and you can check that out here — https://twitter.com/MADNFTS_IO/status/1532395016588611586?s=20&t=L7N5kDtNCvxJuyKdU3FR6w

MADNFT Weekly Update

Hey MAD FAM, it’s time for another Update!

First off we want to say well done to everyone in the space for braving through the bear market. This may appear as dark days but we see it as a fantastic time to keep building and a great test of character to stay true to our mission. Hold on and WAGMI!

Platform development

The MADNFT team is very excited to bring you news on the latest 2.0 platform update coming very soon.

  • Our smart contract audit for 721 and 1155 is being completed this week with our audit team. Some errors have been found and are being resolved within the next 7 days.
  • Subgraph development will be completed by the end of this week thanks to our onboarding of additional developers.

As a team, we are trialling and testing all aspects of this new update to clean it up and finalise the finishing touches. This update will be the biggest advancement MADNFTs has seen since its birth and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve built with all our hard work up until now.

Harmony NFT Trader

The Harmony ecosystem has long been without a place where NFT holders have been able to list/sell/trade their Harmony NFTs, which is why we’ve put extra effort into our secondary marketplace where you’ll be able to list and trade all Da Vinci NFTs!

We believe this will be a huge boost to the Harmony NFT ecosystem and we’ve gone a step further with this advancement. You’ll also be able to view all your Da Vinci NFTs using our Harmony NFT viewer! Be on alert for a demo of this NFT viewer before release.

We will be collecting token/smart contract IDs of large/medium size NFT projects on Harmony and adding them to our system so that these projects and their communities will also be able to view and trade their NFTs on the MADNFT platform.

This is a really exciting update for the Harmony community that we’re very happy to bring to all Harmony NFT collectors.

Twitter spaces

Our community management and communications teams have decided to halt our regular Tuesday Twitter spaces while we focus on rolling out our update. You can still join us on our weekly Thursday Twitter spaces on Thursdays at 9 UTC where you can ask us questions or engage in the topic of the day. Last week we talked about game NFTs and Gamefi which was a very exciting topic, you can listen to the recording here — https://twitter.com/MADNFTS_IO/status/1534658286338777088?s=20&t=YrCsr4ehUlAmgXxcRF3kNw

MADNFT 2.0 Update

Hey MAD FAM, it’s time for an overdue Update!

For those of you that haven’t attended our Twitter spaces for the latest updates, we’re here to bring you the latest news!

MAD 2.0 Update

The MAD 2.0 update is more than just an update, it’s essentially a new platform with everything we’ve always wanted MADNFTs to be. We’ve worked with countless developers, designers and blockchain advisors to produce this beast, and if we’re honest it’s been more difficult than we initially imagined.

We’ve had setbacks, such as a full restructuring of our smart contracts and issues with Harmony testnet that have required us to explore longer alternative testing methods. But we are still here, building stronger than ever, and we’re almost there…

Last weekend we faced an issue with our subgraph connecting to mainnet which may be linked to hard hat, but we have the Harmony developers helping us as well as outside developer teams to fix this issue. Other than that and running a few more tests on the new fixes, we will be finished and on mainnet!

We’re beyond excited to bring you this new platform that contains an abundance of new features for you to utilise, whether you’re a collector or creator.

Before we get into some of the new features, let’s applaud some new creators! :clap::clap:

Creator successes

In the last 2 weeks we’ve seen some fantastic creators onboard themselves to the MAD platform who are all producing great work and testing out forms of utility and experimentation.

Harmony Burn’s latest drop — Project X: Burnies Initiative — is a great show of faith and support from the Harmony artists community.

“Receive an NFT while burning half of the tokens used for purchase! The burning of the ONE token contributes to the value, through the increase of scarcity.

Half of the profits will be automatically sent to the Harmony official burn wallet and the other half will go towards supporting the Best of Harmony One Projects.

Wear your Burnies with honor as you contribute to this Initiative.

You own all rights to your Burnies when minting.”

We commend the creators for their contribution to the Harmony community through increased token scarcity and by giving support to great Harmony projects.

Another notable creator is MAD Ladies!

MAD Ladies has produced fantastic high quality artwork that is consistently selling out. They are showing great knowledge of the space, utilizing scarcity alongside quality, airdrops for purchasers of 2 or more NFTs and regularly posting / engaging!

Keep an eye out for their latest drops here! — MAD Ladies Archives - MAD | NFT

Now, time to talk new features!

Harmony NFT Trader & Viewer

The Harmony ecosystem has long been without a place where NFT holders have been able to list / sell / trade / view their Harmony NFTs, which is why we’ve put extra effort into our secondary marketplace where you’ll be able to list and trade all our NFTs as well as Da Vinci NFTs and Tofu NFTs!

We believe this will be a huge boost to the Harmony NFT ecosystem and we’ve gone a step further with the addition of our NFT viewer.

Optimised Creator Dashboard

Knowing how you’re progressing and being able to fully customise your profile are huge advantages for creators. So we’ve created a new optimised dashboard where you can do the following :

  • In depth profile and dashboard customisation where you can edit your bio, profile picture and background image.

  • Manage and share your NFT collections.

  • Full control over NFT sales, visibility (unlisted) and the introduction of auction sales.

  • View your top contibutors and utlise your 100 FREE Airdrops

  • View statistics of your NFT sales and likes

  • Explore the academy on your profile to learn how to up your NFT game!

We hope you’ll love all these new features which will help you better manage your profile and boost your sales.

Twitter spaces

You can join us on our weekly Tuesday Twitter spaces at 9pm UTC where you can ask us questions or engage in the topic of the day. If you would like to come on to talk about specific topics surrounding NFTs then please reach out to us on our Twitter before hand.

New updates will be released across our socials, so keep notifications on and get hyped for our fantastic update coming very soon!

This weeks MAD Update is focused on some great events and some updates on mainnet launch!

MAD 2.0

For those of you who missed our community talk on Wednesday, we have some updates on the 2.0 launch. This week we will be launching on a secret mainnet where the Harmony team, as well as some chosen community members, will be able to test uploads and functionality. Once everyone is happy, we will push to an open mainnet launch and it will finally be in your hands!

It’s been a long build but we truly believe that we have produced a leading marketplace that will rival the market leaders in functionality and quality. We’re so excited to see what all of you produce and can’t wait to get started on this second phase of our journey together.

FOMO Friday

Last weeks FOMO Friday was in a different setting where we hosted it through a video call instead of in our metaverse! We also had Dan on as a guest to introduce him to some new projects and ideas, being the most web 2 member of the team. He’s learning well.

We discussed some great projects both crypto and non-crypto related. The main ones featured were:

MADNFT announce our launch on Harmony Mainnet!

Hey everyone, we have finally launched on Harmony Mainnet and look forward to your feedback and support.
We have a password locked url area to complete final testing with the Harmony core team.
In the absence of a fully functional testnet and devnet this was the only viable way to do this.

The journey has been a long and challenging experience so we want to thank all the members of the community for their support, belief, and patience.

The link for the website on mainnet has been given to the core team and will be released to the general community once we have completed any adjustments to the UI/UX from the team reviewing everything.

We have many partnerships already confirmed so we look forward to working with everyone and announcing many exciting initiatives in the weeks ahead.

We firmly believe this launch represents an exciting new milestone for the Harmony community and look forward to serving everyone’s ambitions.

We’re almost there. It’s been a long road, but we’re finally getting close to the finish line. We’ve not forgotten about our wonderful community who have supported us since the beginning. We’ll be updating you throughout the week with some amazing new stuff and offering a few big surprises when we launch to the public this coming week.

The MAD NFT V2 platform update has been rolling out over the past days in a closed beta with a lot to offer.

Right away you’ll notice our new homepage, which includes regularly-updated community news, information, drops, and more. Our creators also have an improved dashboard for managing their own NFTs, reporting data on the secondary marketplace, and accessing the Harmony NFT viewer.

There’s more in store too: we’ve got a new sales statistics page that displays sales data and top contributors!

All of the previous feedback, comments, critiques, and suggestions have given us a new set of emphases to focus on for the present and future. We want to thank all of our community members for participating in this process. This helps us evaluate where we need to improve and streamline our internal efforts.

As you may have heard, like other projects, changes in the structure of the grant program have caused us some delays recently. We want to assure you that we’re working hard to make sure our MAD NFT V2 is ready as soon as possible.

We are deeply committed to continuing to build Harmony and honor the terms of our agreement with $ONE.

Despite the challenges of the past few months, we have continued to build on Harmony in spite of the fact that it is more difficult than ever to defend it. This commitment is based on our belief that artists and builders deserve an alternative to traditional content creation tools like Unity. We believe that people who create should be able to benefit from their work in a fair way, which is why we’ve worked so hard to get Harmony out into the world.

We’re as committed as ever to making sure that this happens—and we know you are too! So LET’S GO! We hope you can all get behind us, and support our launch of MAD NFT V2!

-The MAD CORE TEAM

Just want to say that it’s been a journey to get to where we are. 12 months of building in a bear market isn’t the easiest but we are true to our mission of making a difference. And that means bleeding for the community who has shown us nothing but kindness.

We will deliver the best NFT platform harmony has seen and transform the lives of creators everywhere.

Thank you harmony community :blue_heart:

It’s been an amazing journey and I thoroughly enjoyed our AMA last week with the Harmony community DAO where we spoke about the great future ahead. I have no doubt this will be one of the biggest DAPP releases to the Harmony ecosystem and we have poured our blood sweat and tears into insuring it will also be the best.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey, we can’t wait to give this tool over to the community so you can experience it for yourselves and go on your own NFT journeys. :blue_heart:
