Yumi NFT Marketplace is very proud to announce that we have received a DFINITY Developer Grant of $25,000 to further develop the marketplace’s features and capabilities. This is an official recognition that Yumi is significantly contributing to the growth of the Internet Computer ecosystem.
Yumi is home to a multitude of NFT collections and has established collaborations with major communities and players throughout the IC ecosystem. It has been rapidly growing in popularity and is now one of the most utilized NFT marketplaces built on ICP. Yumi distinguishes itself through its excellent customer service, frequent product updates, and its receptivity to the community’s feedback.
What’s the grant for?
The Yumi Team is dedicated to continually improving the platform by adding new product features and services–something this grant will fuel and encourage. Some of our recent developments and improvements include:
- Responsiveness: the website is now fully optimized for all devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile).
- More wallets integrated: users may now use the most prevalent ICP wallets to seamlessly connect to Yumi and trade their NFTs (Plug, Internet Identity, Stoic, Infinity Wallet, AstroX Me).
- Yumi Credits: Yumi users are now rewarded with “Yumi Credits” when trading NFTs on Yumi. The credit balance may be seen on the profile page. You will be able to use the credits in the upcoming Shiku Metaverse. Detailed mechanics and benefits of the Yumi Credits may be found here: https://bts-3.gitbook.io/yumi-docs/tuc0GD5bpZDY9b598Lgl/yumi-credit-and-platform-fees
- Bundle Purchasing: on the launchpad, users may now purchase NFTs in different bundle sizes, depending on the discretion of the collection creators.
- Turbo-speed loading: backend optimizations significantly improve user experience.
The DFINITY Foundation has been impressed with Yumi’s development so far and pledged support towards further milestones.
What’s next?
The Yumi team is proud of our accomplishments so far, but will always strive to deliver more value to our creators and collectors. So, what’s next for us?
- Support of 3D NFTs: allowing collections to include 3D formats that can be displayed on the marketplace
- Rarity: include rarity calculation & ranking of NFT collections
- Artist Selection: allow artists to mint individual NFTs
- Profile Customization: Offer improved profile features and customization
- NFT Statistics & Activity: develop a dashboard to show comprehensive statistics about NFT collections and their trading activity
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for future developments.
