V2 Key Updates
MADNFT V2 is less of and update and more like the relaunch of MAD. The platform is now built on react instead of wordpress which means we have much more customisation and tools available which we have utilised in this launch. The difference between this platform and the previous is night and day, and you’ll see this instantly through the navigation speed alone.
Below is a list of some of the newest features. We won’t go into depth in this article as each new feature will have their own longer explanation later on.
A brand new UI optimised for speed and usability
New creator tables with more stat tracking such as number of sales and volume
Custom smart contracts per collection for added security and ownership
721 and 1155 smart contracts
Advanced search filters on the marketplace, creators search page and collection search page
An updated educational NFT Academy with progress tracking
Collection side filters for properties, stats, levels and tags
Collection data tracking such as floor price, percentage listed etc
New NFT cards that show extra information such as price increase/decrease
Hatchable NFTs
A New creator dashboard to track stats and view your NFTs/collections
A new profile card to track your progress and engagement
A brand new project specific page
There’s many more features we can talk about but these are the most notable that you should definitely check out when logging on to madnfts.io

Previous MADNFT Creator sign up
We want to say thank you to all of our OG creators who came on this journey with us and we hope you’ll enjoy all the new features available on the V2 launch which will enhance your experience and sales opportunities.
Due to the big changes in our UI, we will not be able to port over profiles from the V1 MADNFT platform and users will be required to create their profiles again in the new UI format. You can access the old platform here so that you can view your old accounts / collections and import your data over to your new profile. You will not be able to upload anything new to the v1 platform — https://v1.madnfts.io/ You will instead be redirected to the V2 platform madnfts.io .
What happens to my collections from the V1 platform?
On the original MADNFT platform, NFTs were minted upon purchase and creators did not have their own custom smart contracts. So any NFTs that were purchased, and therefore minted, on the previous platform, will be ported over and will appear under a ‘MAD Factory’ collection page.
Any uploads that didn’t sell will not have been minted and are not possible to port over. We suggest creators mint their own new custom collection contracts on the current platform and re-upload your unsold assets there. This way you will have true ownership over your assets as you will own the smart contracts linked to the NFTs.
We at MAD are incredibly excited to finally launch this V2 update and will be adding new features weekly to enhance your experience in NFTs and your creative career. Thank you for everthing and keep your eyes peeled for a wealth of updates.
We have come a long way and crossed many hurdles building on harmony.
We value the commitment of the community, to continue developing further tools we need your support, please encourage the core team to release the outstanding grant funding as the milestones have all been completed.
great project,
I support MAD to be the biggest marketplace in harmony. I hope there is an NFT marketplace in harmony to list the art of creators and also gamefi projects in the future
Congratulations on the V2 launch, MAD is seriously pushing some incredible utility to the Harmony space, keep it up guys and great work on V2, some game-changing stuff here.
It’s with a very heavy heart that we have decided the time has come where we MADNFT will be unable to continue to build any further on the Harmony chain.
In July ‘21 we came into the Harmony community full of hope and enthusiasm for the services we knew we could bring.
We have met many of you at events around the world and worked tirelessly to deliver on our promise.
Despite meeting all of the grant proposal milestones agreed the Harmony Protocol team has decided to refuse to pay our grants funds. This leaves us in a very difficult financial position to continue building on Harmony.
Over the past few months we have been reassured a number of times on various communications by the core team members that the grant would be honoured.
On this misinformation we decided to continue to build under difficult financial circumstances whilst carrying a team.
Fully documented in the timeline above and also using the following link are the completed milestones:
In recent messages we received new milestones yet again which feels like an attempt of sabotage. Here’s an example of many.
“Instead of us paying out the 75k for the completion of all stage 3 milestones, perhaps we could break it up as follows:
Stage2 :
$25k for 5 drops, 5 partners
$25k after 10,000 users
$25k after 25,000 users
Stage3 :
$25k for bridging $100k NFT value from Cardano to Harmony
$25k for volume sales of $100k on harmony NFTs
Let me know if that works.”
As asked if this can be updated on talk.harmony.one on a number of occasions despite no core team members communicating back.
It makes us very sad to have to write this post.
We have built amazing friendships with so many of the previous core team members who all behaved impeccably and were incredibly encouraging.
We are very thankful for the opportunities throughout the past 12 months building with this community.
Making A Difference in Brazil, Los Angeles, Miami and Colorado with you guys.
Also receiving an investment of $550,000 USD stemming from project X - from Sam Harrison and Devin Marty for a combined stake in MAD NFT tokens.
(the final number we received due to protocol was $500,000 USD due to moving price average. With the market collapse and the hack this was unfortunately compromised.
Nevertheless this opportunity helped us fund a total new build of our V1> V2.
After discussions and sharing visions with Stephen Tse over brunch in La (March ‘22) it inspired us to build a completely new react platform with a list of false promises that never got upheld.
Stephen promised us that we would have Harmony’s full support.
We never had any further support until September ‘22 where we got a dedicated developer for 5 hours a week.
We refuse to be part of any culture that is not based on trust, so for that reason and so much more we are deciding to walk away from any association with the Harmony protocol team with our dignity intact.
We wish all remaining projects and personalities huge success.
We believe in the technology but we can no longer believe in the direction.
We really believed we could play a part in turning this around.
The MAD NFTS platform will remain live for the Harmony community.
Both live auctions and the contracts for both MAD v1 and Da vinci will be updated soon.
We are super excited and remain undaunted in our ambitions to help the creator economy all over the world and truly make a difference.
This legit sucks for everyone. I can’t believe this is even happening. Truly awful to see such a terrible ending to such a wonderful team.
Thank you; thank you for being madCRAZY enough to do this. I’ll follow you to the next nutty adventure. The best is yet to come, I mean that for y’all!
This is really sad to hear. I would urge the Harmony team to stay true to their promises and also make sure that the ecosystem does not die entirely.
This is the only NFT marketplace left - it could have been a start!
